Blake Dubonis has the entire bracket on Twitter.

From what I am told, this was being shown on the ticker (matchups, schedules). I am assuming it was supposed to be the men's information, but it was the women's.

https://twitter.com/BlakeDuDonis/status/1107733579797331969

I have saved a copy of the bracket in case his Tweet gets deleted, but I didn't want to just post it here in case folks wanted to wait to see the actual bracket reveal.

How embarrassing for WBB and ESPN.

I wonder how they'll handle the remote shots of the teams being selected. "Hey kids! Pretend like it's a big surprise!"

And cutting back to 30 minutes. It was probably intentional, so they could cut back the amount women's coverage.

Deadspin has the whole thing in one place here:

God, ESPN is so bad. Can Fox Sports or CBS Sports or NBC Sports take over!? I cannot stand ESPN!

And here we go...with a public apology.

I'm sorry, but that just doesn't fly. All the anticipation and excitement for all those teams...just gone.

They probably laid off the person that was responsible for making sure this kind of shit didn't happen.

Another thing with the way they unveil this...they should show the host school and their matchup FIRST! When I see (5) Gonzaga vs (12) Little Rock and it is going to be in Corvallis, OR, I already know the host school. Reverse it...give me the higher seed/host and their opponent first and THEN show me who else will be there.

God, this kind of shit pisses me off so bad. Just no excuse.

So completely embarrassing

How is this sport supposed to be taken seriously?

Does this make more sense to go back to a reveal on Sunday? This Monday business is awkward

This telecast is awkward

Correct, and they will be throwing the axe's at the individual deemed responsible for the leak.

Rebecca Lobo looks so pissed. Conundrum is she can’t take her employer to task in a live broadcast.

Rhonda Bennett is so good at saying nothing that she should be considered for WNBA president.

I'm on the ESPNW site and I can't find the printable bracket. Can anyone point me at it?

I believe they are still having the 7pm show, so team reactions can still be watched.

This show is like watching the president's press secretary question the president. They did a nice comparison between UConn and Louis that justifies Louisville being a better seed but if they had put up those same stats for UConn vs Miss St it would be UConn on top. How does the SEC champ have a worse SOS than the AAC champ?

Hey, I'm happy with UConn's draw. Not as happy about a possible meetup with the leprechauns in the semi's but it's supposed to be a tough game to win.

That is some incredible stupidity on ESPN's part.

That said, here's hoping Missouri State can pull an upset in their first round game.

Don't worry, UConn doesn't have to think that far ahead. Towson will be the Cinderella team of the decade. Laughing Twisted Evil

I actually think they did a better job this year than usual.

My only real quibble is the Tenn. thing. I highly doubt if the committee were to look at them without the label of Tenn. that they would be in. But now UCLA just needs to take care of business and hopefully that takes care of it.

You’re good. They are keeping the ESPN show and it’s not terrible.
