Maybe it’s not the region you wanted, but it’s the region you got. It’s also being in a bracket period after a rough start and a rough 2020.
But who exactly is in this region?
The NCAA is trying to straddle the line of making things feel normal by still calling the four regions by a geographic area even though all of the games are going to be played in Indiana. I guess it would be awkward to call a region by the number one seed if that seed gets knocked out, and for goodness sake let’s not honor the great history of college basketball by using some sort of historic name in an abnormal year.
