FINAL

St. Mary's 67
MTSU 54

A very bad game for MTSU - 54 points, ouch! Just proved the many naysayers about them and the Belt correct.

But I agree about the "strangeness" of the play-in "winner" not being automatically the 16th seed. I guess it is a reward for playing and winning the extra game to NOT have to face the No. 1 seed.

I see why it seems strange, but everyone lower them was an automatic bid and are excluded from play in games (I think thats how that works)
