[Da Coach]

Yes, here is the "bracket" we have all been waiting for- the official 2012 CollegeInsider.com Tournament Bracket-

Actually, there is no real bracket, since the tournament reshuffles the teams to create matchups for each round after the previous round is completed.

There are 2 MVC teams, Indiana State and Drake, and both will be home teams.
