Wow, they have the winner of (6) Temple and (11) UAB playing the winner of (3) San Diego State and (14) Kent State.  Put us in any 1 of those spots and we cruise into the Sweet 16.  That is a joke.  Any of (10) Michigan State, (7) Arizona, and (2) Duke will have a cakewalk Sweet 16 game if that comes true.

Im praying we are in the 11/6 game with SDSU the 3 seed. I am not convinced at all. Same thing last year with New Mexico. Sadly, we couldnt close out Washington but you saw what Wash did to UNM.

Who have they beat?  Gonzaga.  Utah twice.  They're 0-2 against top 25 teams.  That's right, they have 2 games against top 25 teams, and they were against the same top 25 team.  And they were both blowout losses, one at home.

They're a big time joke.  As is BYU.  I would much rather play a 3 loss mid-major team than a 10-12 loss big time conference team (such as Washington last year).

SDSU and BYU are fraud-tastic this year.

Just like the Atlanta Falcons were.

Ugh...HATE the EIGHT.  Would much rather be a 10-11.

I think BYU with Davies was a huge threat. Now? Not so much.

I'd be in heaven if we got BYU or SDSU. Both frauds waiting to be exploited. That said, I think the combination of BYU losing to New Mexico and losing Davies has already likely dropped them to the 3-line. If they don't at least make the final of the MWC tournament, don't be surprised to see them dropped down to a 4 or even 5-seed. It wouldn't be so different from what happened to Purdue after Hummel went down last year.

unless of course duke has to play outside of the state of north carolina. I'm waiting for the season when the NCAA finally schedules the perfect Duke or UNC draw. They get to play the first two rounds in greensboro, followed by visits to Raleigh and Charlotte. Sort of like when the women's NCAA tourney always had Tenn or UConn playing their opening round games on their home courts.
