Maybe you can explain this, but I never understood why the #1 overall seed never plays the winner of the play-in game. Theoretically, wouldn't the winner of that game still be the worst team in the tournament?

The Play-in game winner has to play a Friday/Sunday pod. Just so happened the last few years, and this year too, that the #1 overall ended up in a Thursday/Saturday pod. Kansas was a lock for Oklahoma City...
