The tournament has been fine. It’s definitely not the best but I feel comfortable saying it’s not the worst tourney.
I don’t particularly care that it’s all 1 seeds in the FF. If this starts becoming more routine, then sure. But just last year a 4 and an 11 made the FF, and 8 double digit seeds won first round games. And 2023 we had a FF with teams seeded 4, 5, 5 and 9, a 15 seed made the S16 and a 16 seed won a game.
Maybe this year is a sign of things to come but it might also just be a blip. Need to give it a couple more years to find out.
