That leak messed up the watch party. It was moved from Sukup to Johnny’s and over before it started

But, we’ll all be there on Saturday. Section 111

We are section 131 row 14, one row directly in front of our regular season seats. We know exactly what we’ll see, except for who’s sitting between us and the floor. Excited is a mild word.

Did they move up the selection show because of the leak? That would explain the shallowness of the segments.

Do people work anymore? More importantly, does ESPN think they have an audience that goes to work during the day? apparently not. Sure, it was leaked. I heard it on radio on way home. My millenial employees probably knew the leak in between facebook posts while they were working at 10% efficiency. You still have a bracket show and at least show the brackets and mention every game....you think? Just a mess.
I guess all those people in my cubicle world with their screens so obviously aimed in a direction where only they can see them are streaming ESPN and Youtube cat videos all day has be realized by ESPN strategic marketing and they consider 6pm the 4th newscycle of the day by focus group testing of 22 year olds.

I was able to print Sat session, but session 2 tickets say I have outstanding invoice that must be paid to manage this ticket, but I don’t

Mine says that also. Actually I was able to mobile pass all Saturday Tickets but only my son's youth ticket for Monday. The 2 adult tickets say outstanding invoice. Maybe we are all to excited, to eager to print and mobile pass for Monday. Maybe Ticketmaster cannot keep up with demand.......o_O

We just played a team tougher than anyone we'd face until the final 4....so there's that?

Same for me. I bet we will be able to print Mondays session after Saturdays games

This is going to blow if I can't get tickets. I already have my all session for Chicago.

DePaul has some motivation. The Chicago regional is in DePaul's home arena. Last year they lost in 2nd round to Texas A&M who was hosting and was up 15 before a miracle comeback by the Aggies.

Do people work anymore? .
re: at work ESPN Tourney Bracket Reveal

I work because I enjoy what I do a lot. My business now relies on employees to have a personal cell phone for texting business: and, it's almost nonstop. Fellow employees go through the day with one eye on a computer screen, one on their texts, while listening to an intra-office earpiece (while working). There is on-line non-business going on, but not so much as to cause noticeable inefficiencies-but maybe that's just my ignorance.

ESPN moved up the show, but they definitely showed each game being revealed like normal.

Not certain but pretty sure they replayed it at 6pm too.

I'm trying to find out why ESPN even had them that early. Does the women's committee do their meeting at ESPN? The men's one is done every year in Indy I believe and then I figure CBS gets them just prior to the show.

Doesn't even make sense that ESPN would have them hours before the show.

Well there aren't any conference title games on Monday morning (to my knowledge) so it would make sense for them to get that bracket done as soon as the action ended. How it leaked is beyond me.

I am blaming UCONN
