Basketball regions should be seeded
I realize that seeding the entire Texas state basketball playoff bracket is impractical.
If it were seeded, you'd have teams from the Panhandle going against teams from the Gulf Coast in the first round.
Can you imagine a Texarkana/El Paso first-round game? Even meeting halfway would mean a seven or eight-hour bus ride, bare minimum.
But I am in favor of seeding the regions, and let me give you an example of why: Take a look at the Class 2A Region I girls bracket. Now it's bad enough that Top-10 programs from Wall, Nocona and Shallowater are in the same region ....but here, they're in the same side of the regional bracket!
Ridiculous!
This means that only one of the region's top three teams can reach the regional final. It cheats the teams, it cheats the fans and it cheats the game.
This could easily be rectified by seeding each region. Yes, the travel would increase, but it wouldn't be a burden.
What do you think?
See you on the road.
