[quote jtwcornell91][quote KeithK]IIRC this was fading in the later years of the 12 team tourney since they stopped using the old crossover logic for frist round matchups[/quote]

I think that part was mostly a coincidence; the stated reason for stopping the crossovers was to prevent student athletes from being killed by terrorists.  (No, seriously!)[/quote]

And as a result, Cornell got to stay east and play destroy Quinnipiac (back when they weren't very good... and had no nickname). :-)
