Disagreed about EV having a tough draw at NCAAs. His draw was a gift IMHO

He was talking about the consolation bracket.

I think he just meant on the backside
Frontside draw was fantastic. The returning champ in the blood round is rough though.

The brackets are set up that way.
Easy front, hard back and vice versa

Not really
Brackets get harder on both sides as you advance, but you would expect the loser of the quarters to be favored to AA. Eddie would essentially have the path of a 7 seed on the backside after losing in the quarters. There are too many upsets to really project that sort of thing, but getting VRob was definitely a bad draw for him.

They are.
If you are a high seed and you fail to advance....you will be punished in the losers bracket.

Okay, I get you now
Like, the 1 seed losing in the quarters gets the path of the 8 seed, versus the 4 seed would get the path of the 5. Vinny was a much tougher match than you would expect for Eddie a after meeting the quarters. Stuff like that is pretty common with all the upsets at nationals, but it was definitely a bad draw on the backside
