Why the Change in Bracket Format This Year?

[edit]

Curious why it was decided to put all the higher seeds at the top of each matchup in this year's bracket. Every other bracket I looked at through last year kept the teams in the same places within each matchup. IMO these all should be changed to be consistent with previous years.

To clarify, I'm talking about from the second round onward. where the bracket matchups now always have the higher seeded winner on the top line, even when that team originated from the matchup lower on the bracket. None of the previous years' tournaments used this format. AJC3fromS2K (talk) 22:48, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I changed it back. Flows better visually this way. Anonymous Contributor 012786 (talk) 00:12, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I absolutely agree! Thanks for doing this. ~~ AJC3fromS2K (talk) 00:23, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Automatic update?

[edit]

Is this article automatically updated? I watched Texas beat Pennsylvania State 71-66 and a minute after that happened, I went on this article and the bracket was updated.

(I posted this question earlier in the wrong place, and now I don’t know where it is. Could you remove it for me? I’ll give you worthless money.) 50.229.56.254 (talk) 02:24, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't automatically update. However, given the popularity of the NCAA D1 MBB tourney, games/scores are usually updated within a few minutes of their respective endings - often times less than a minute. AJC3fromS2K (talk) 01:28, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Upsets

[edit]

Who the hell decided that the definition of "upset" has now shrunk from five seed lines to two in the men's tournament? I can see it for the women's tournament--and I think two is still ridiculous--but for the men? Asinine. I could live with four seed lines. Not three. And definitely not two. Whose decision was this? I just looked up NCAA.com, and it still defines upset in the men's tournament as FIVE seed lines. 9toedfreak (talk) 04:05, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

UConn vs. Connecticut

[edit]

There appears to be an edit war going on with @63.73.199.69, continually changing multiple editors' changes from Connecticut to UConn, reverting them back to Connecticut. You have done this three times now, by my count, to me twice and @Jweiss11 once. @Gpl93 has now reverted your edit yet again. Please refrain from doing so any further as the school media guide, UConn-related articles for teams and season past the 2013 Nike rebrand, precedent on previous tournaments' pages and, most importantly, consensus indicates that UConn is the term to be used. Thank you. Greenday61892 (talk) 17:55, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
