Tournament chairman Jeff Schulman, athletic director at Vermont, said that there were three principles that guided how the committee seeded this year’s tournament.
“The three big ones are we’re trying to avoid interconference matchups in the first round, we’re committed to keeping host at their host regionals so that affected both UMass and Omaha this year,” said Schulamn. “And we also work really hard to create an exciting championship atmosphere; good crowds and we think that we’ve accomplished that with this year’s bracket.”
