Title: Aw f**k it....... put us with Kentucky
Post by: Powercat Posse on March 11, 2012, 01:45:37 AM
We will have already won our 1st round game, keeping that streak in tact.

Give us a game we won't win, a game that we can't win, a game with the odds on favorite to win the tournament.

Might as well lose to the top overall seed........ Right?

Good points.

If Frank wins one in the torn-a-ment I'll be good.

Much rather face the #1 or #2 on one day rest than a week to prepare. I'll take anything today except a rematch with 'Bama or WV.

Agree, don't really want a rematch with either.

There are a pretty wide range of opponents right now, lots of teams could slide into the 8/9 slot.

I'd say its likely our first round opponent will come from this group: New Mexico, San Diego St., Saint Mary's, Gonzaga, Connecticut, Cinci, Memphis, St Louis, Alabama, Purdue, Harvard, Southern Miss, West Virginia, Virginia.

By Mon/Tues I will have a full adv stats based breakdown of our opponent and our match-up, similar to what I did last year.

A game against Kentucky is a no lose scenario.  If we win it goes as one of the biggest wins in school history.  If we lose, well, they are better than us.  Let's do this.

Had this in another thread..... but figured i would put it here too.    My attempt to play bracketologist

------1------------2------------3------------4-------
  Kentucky           KU             Baylor           Wisky
     Cuse            Mizzou          Marq           Indiana
     UNC          Msu/Osu L        Mich            Fla St
 Msu/Osu W        Duke            Gtown         Lville


------5------------6------------7------------8-------
   Vandy            N Dame        Cincy            K-STATE
  Wich  St          N Mexico     Memphis         St Marys
  Murr St            Temple       Creighton        Iowa St
    Fla                UNLV           SD  St           Gonz


------9------------10------------11------------12------
   UConn              Virg               Cal                Texas
   Bama              W Virg            Xavier             Colo St
   Purdue            So Miss           Harv             S Fla/ NC St
  St Louis           L  Beach          VCU             BYU/Drexel


Still say its about 10% chance we could get a 7 seed, and 75% chance we are a home team (7/8 seed)
Id be stunned if we got a 10 seed (2%) but that would get us off the 8/9 game

I see KU being the 2 (or maybe 1) in the West.  Mizzou is gonna be the 2 seed prob in St louis (but perhaps Atlanta).  Baylor likely is a 3 seed in whatever region Mizzou doesnt go to (So prob South).   

So if that is the case, a very good shot either 8/9 seeded Ksu and Isu goes out east to be with the Cuse.   The other one would prob be in the MW or South.     So its not real clear on what region we would be in if we got an 8/9 seed. 

If we somehow got the 7, we would very likely be in the East with 2 seed Duke.       But that is probably just wishful thinking.
