wishful thinking, but they definitly got stuck with the best 8/9 teams... MU and Mich St better than any of the other 8/9 seeds... and then they will get stuck most likely playing Kevin Durant (next Melo?) in the sweet 16.
That chunk of bracket is definitely loaded. I hate being in it...but it's better than being Syracuse.
please. Do you really think that after the NCAA rewarded NC with two home games that they will allow them to even be tested in their first two games? MU and MSU will beat each other up in a very, very ugly game and the Tar Heels will feast on the remains.
If I were a UNC fan, I wouldn't be too happy about my potential road to the final four. As a #1 seed, they're looking at MU/MSU, Texas, and Georgetown. Georgetown, meanwhile as the #2 has BC/TTU, then probably Washington St. before meeting UNC. (or any of the aforementioned teams) Much easier IMO.
Kansas having to play Villanova/Kentucky is also a pretty tough draw. On the ESPN.com poll, the nation voted pretty decisively that UNC will be the first 1 seed out. Man if I was a UNC fan I'd be pretty pissed off that I might have to play the #20 team in country in the second round. What a bullshit 8 seed that is, going to the #20 team in the country, doesn't make much sense.
UNC is going down Saturday to the Warriors!! ;D
