East may be the most brutal bracket I can remember seeing in many many years.

I think teams like San Fran, St Mary’s and Texas are all 3 likely a little bloated personally. But from a numbers perspective I agree. I do think on paper though the matchups look very favorable for UK.

When I say brutal I’m speaking from a #1 seed prospective. Baylor was done zero favors with this bracket.
