Brannen is in. Controlled this game from the tip.
Ryan Odom's UMBC team has blown a 26 point lead against the Hawks of Hartford. Headed to OT.

Just saw on Twitter it went to double OT. Who’s carrying this game?
Zags going down. Stunning.
So it turns out that literally every team on the west coast sucks.
So who are the 1-seeds?
UVA
Duke
UNC-CH
UK/Tennessee
????????
Jeff Capel hired his brother? Srsly?
Yeah, on second thought I think Gonzaga still gets a #1 seed despite that embarrassing loss, but will wind up with the top #2 seed in their bracket.
With Zion back Duke should be a #1, but they're now in the position of having to beat UNC-CH to secure it since they've lost 3 of their last 6 without him, including 2 to UNC-CH.
They don't normally do this unless the top-4 seeds across all 4 regions are not balancing out, their preference is to go by a straight geographical placement with a few exceptions (i.e., the top #2 seed will never be placed in the same region as the top #1 seed). Will be interesting to see how it all shakes out this year with the dearth of good teams out west and the fact that Ky/Tenn/LSU and UNC/Duke/UVA/possibly FSU will all have to be placed in separate regions since they will be top-4 seeds. The committee did use the S-curve for the #1 and #2 seeds last year, but switched back to geography and conference considerations for the 3/4 seeds.

Procedures for Placing the Teams into the Bracket
1. The committee will place the four No. 1 seeds in each of the four regions, thus determining the Final Four semifinals pairings (overall 1 vs. 4; 2 vs. 3). The overall No. 1 seed has the opportunity to select its preferred first- and second-round site and preferred region.
2. The committee will then place the No. 2 seeds in each region in true seed list order. The committee may relax the principle of keeping teams as close to their area of natural interest for seeding teams on the No. 2 line to avoid, for example, the overall No. 5 seed being sent to the same region as the overall No. 1 seed. The committee will not compromise the principle of keeping teams from the same conference in separate regions.
