Here is the current bracket update of scores:
D-I Basketball Committee Chairman Dan Guerrero recently spoke about the bracket set up:
“Q. A number of national analysts have criticized the way Duke, they perceive Duke has the easiest road to the Final Four, they’re the No. 3 overall seed. There’s been some criticism of that. Also one went as far as to suggest that this was done in order to raise TV ratings for CBS. Can you address those ideas.
“DAN GUERRERO: Well, I can tell you that if we wanted to raise TV ratings, I would have put UCLA in the field (laughter). No, that clearly isn’t an issue.
“ You know, I would strongly encourage all of you, if you have the opportunity, to go through the mock selection process that the NCAA has put in place for the last several years. It really gives you a glimpse of what the committee does and how they do it. Once you do that, you can see that there’s no overt attempt, there’s no attempt at all, to manufacture something that’s going to be ‘better TV’ or things of that nature.
“ In fact, as we go through the bracketing process, which is the last thing that we do, we don’t necessarily go through it quickly, but we do it such that it doesn’t come out initially the way you see it when it’s in the paper the next day, where it shows all the matchups and things of that nature. We do it in an S curve by seed, and it’s on the computer screen. Until such time as the bracket is actually printed out, and I actually received the bracket at 5:00 p.m. yesterday as I was walking out the door as I was going to do the CBS selection show, I really didn’t even know what teams were matched up against who.

“As I was driving in the car, I had a good chance to look at some of the matchups. I’m very intrigued, like all the fans in America, about how it all sorted out.
“But that’s what makes the tournament great. It’s going to be fantastic. We provided the colors to the pallet, if you will, for CBS and ESPN to broadcast this great tournament. They’re going to paint the picture. The coaches and the kids on the court are going to create the masterpiece. All we did was provide basically the tools for them to do that.
“Once again, I can assure you, it’s going to be a great tournament.“
