@CBB_Central I'm pretty sure these would be seeded with 11 seeds playing 13 seeds and 12 seeds. Same with 15s playing 16s for the automatic qualifier play-ins. Or if the NCAA just puts the bottom 24 at large teams in the first round and gives automatic qualifiers a bye (best case scenario).

For those wondering what a new “First 12” might look like in a 76-team field:

@sayl33056111 @nytimes Looking forward to anyone who threatens or causes emotional harm on social media to be indicted. What a dumb and petty choice in this new era of cancel culture

Breaking News: The Justice Department secured a new indictment of James Comey, the former FBI director, over a social media post, after a past indictment effort spurred by President Trump last year ended in failure. nyti.ms/425iAwb

@GervaisPet31192 @Salvatoresixer @AndySrokaPBR @VinnyRottino @wiaawi I'm not a huge fan of the WIAA but they don't make the rules, just enforce the rules that schools vote on. But hate on the police, not the lawmakers I suppose.

@Salvatoresixer @AndySrokaPBR @VinnyRottino @wiaawi The WIAA is about money 💰 for the administration never about the kids or anyone else Unfortunately

@Kevinmhegemann @WisBBYearbook Schools. Probably 10k up front and $20 a game after that, taken out of the admission money is my guess. A good score clock operator could do both as well.

@WisBBYearbook Who is paying for the millions needed to upgrade every high school gym in Wisconsin and the millions needed to operate every shot clock for every game every year?

No shot clock ... Milwaukee Juneau pulling the ball out and has run off two minutes thus far just dribbling on the perimeter.

@WIACRickLafleur @KyleMalzhan lol what pull does Travis have on this?

@KyleMalzhan Cancel culture at its finest. All because Travis Wilson and the rest of the cowards were afraid to bump private schools up. Now we get the worst of both worlds.

It never ceases to amaze me that the WIAA punishes teams for having a successful sports program with a group of high schoolers who will soon graduate.

@LewisHalverson @TravisBOUND Teams in this situation can appeal and often win.

@TravisBOUND It’s really punishing the kids after the good classes that had all the success are graduated already

With the girls basketball state tournament complete, we can take a look at Tournament Performance Factor impacts for next year (pending appeal). The following teams are already elevated and will remain so because of TPF points: Wauwatosa East (D1) Albany/Monticello (D4) Cuba City (D3) Edgewood (D2) Pewaukee (D1) Xavier (D2) Laconia (D3) Oostburg is elevated from D3 to D2 Notre Dame falls below six total points, but there's a separate basketball rule that a team cannot move down a division the year after they appear at state, so Notre Dame will remain in D1. So long story short, all the elevated teams remain up again next year, and Oostburg joins them. #wisgb

@BReimer32 @WisBBYearbook We had had Memorial at .656 pre-tournament and DePere at .652. DePere must have edged Memorial during the tournament :)

@tygorz @WisBBYearbook Close

My best guess on seeding for state... D1 #1 Wisconsin Lutheran (28-0) vs. #4 Appleton North (24-4) #2 Madison Memorial (26-2) vs. #3 De Pere (25-3)

@WisBBYearbook #1 Slinger #2 West Salem #3 and #4 too close to call. McFarland .595 vs Whitefish Bay .592. Not sure if these teams played each for H2H

My best guess on seeding for state... D2 #1 Slinger (24-4) vs. #4 West Salem (24-4) #2 Whitefish Bay (22-6) vs. #3 McFarland (23-5)

@WisBBYearbook Lake Mills vs St. Croix Central Seymour vs St. Cat’s

My best guess on seeding for state... D3 #1 Seymour (27-1) vs. #4 St. Croix Central (19-9) #2 Lake Mills (26-2) vs. #3 St. Catherine's (23-4)

@WisBBYearbook Bonduel vs Cambridge Milwaukee Juneau vs Regis

My best guess on seeding for state... D4 #1 Milwaukee Juneau (26-1) vs. #4 Cambridge (19-9) #2 Bonduel (25-3) vs. #3 Regis (23-5)

@WisBBYearbook Our pre-tournament seed scores were: Reedsville .655 Prentice .609 Southwestern .597 Sheboygan Lutheran .568

My best guess on seeding for state... D5 #1 Reedsville (26-3) vs. #4 Southwestern (23-6) #2 Prentice (25-3) vs. #3 Sheboygan Lutheran (23-6)

@bdrisc9 @JonRothstein Make it a condition that if you play three non D-1 teams you can't make the tournament as an at-large.

@JonRothstein Why do I have this feeling Miami Ohio is the sacrifice for the setup. They will lose 1 game and the committee will keep them out on purpose. Just so they can push their agenda.

You know what NO ONE is saying if they're objectively watching college basketball each and every night? "Let's expand the NCAA Tournament."

@MM_MBB_TV @MarchMadnessMBB That Harlan, Hummel, Van Gundy trio is 🔥

@ross400imh @JordanLoppnow They were competitive in a lot more games, but 17 losses is still too much with the top half of the conference getting better faster.

@JordanLoppnow Sad yes, but they took a big step this year. Hopefully they can build on that

The Three Longest Active Losing-Season Streaks in Big Ten Women’s Basketball: 1. Wisconsin – 15 2. Rutgers – 5 3. Northwestern – 4 Isn't this sad?

@Chad_Sports @TravisBOUND I think we'll see less and less schools wiling to host because they lose money only getting a small fraction of the gate admission and only selling snacks. Paying the staff with the electricity and other expenses is more of a headache than anything else.

@TravisBOUND Some schools aren’t willing to host already, so yeah, add more restrictions.

Hotter take: Part of all basketball sectional hosting duties should be livestream (preferably free).

@TravisBOUND In order to stream playoff games, the WIAA gets $250 for every game from everyone streaming. It's an incredible barrier and deterrent from trying to stream for the masses. Especially for free.
