In the colorful history of Selection Sunday outrages, the 2019 NCAA tournament bracket release was met with limited furious fanfare. The soft bubble left only a few teams with legitimate snub cases. The No. 1 seeds were appropriately awarded to the ACC's three elite teams and Gonzaga. All four regions felt like they posed similarly challenging paths to the Final Four for their respective title contenders.
And for all that fairness, we were rewarded with one of the chalkiest first weekends ever, with 14 of the top 16 seeds still alive and all of the top 12 teams still dancing.
