Automatic qualifying great for field of 64 in basketball. Not very good for field of 29 in women’s lax. Most of fridays games were not close to competitive. Need to re think this in future. It isn’t growing the game.
Yeah, but I do not see it changing. There were a handful of good competitive games, hopefully the majority of second round games will be competitive. Denver and Stanford both looked good, not sure how Denver will do vs NU. The only two upsets I see for second round are Rutgers over SBU and possibly Maryland over Duke. Don’t think Loyola is strong enough to beat SU. JMU has come on strong so who knows? Anything is possible. Florida not going to let it happen again. I think ND handles UVA. BC should be fine.
