UCONN vs PITT?
SYR vs ST Johns?
ND vs Cincy?
Definitely want Pitt to get knocked off. Syracuse and St. John's is a tough one, but I think I'd rather see 'Cuse again. Then ND for sure, I want no part of Cincy. Would love to send Hansbrough packing and we match up with them much better.
And just picked up another win against the RPI Top 25 if I'm not mistaken.
Quote from: Doris Burkes Thong on March 10, 2011, 12:11:14 AMCan we get a 6/7 seed with a win tomorrow night?
Absolutely. It really depends a lot on what happens from here on out, but the general consensus is that we're somewhere in the 8-10 range. Looking at yesterday's S-Curve, we should have moved ahead of teams like Villanova, Gonzaga, and Utah State. That puts us well on the 9-line. Of course, the committee could take into consideration our computer rankings, the conference we play in, and our recent play (winning 6 of 9 at worst if we win tonight) against some excellent competition and bump us up another couple lines, in addition to the likely seed-line move that would come from the Louisville win alone.
As far as the rest of the tourney, I want to see Connecticut, Syracuse, and Notre Dame win. I hate the thought of matching up with Pitt again. While I think we did okay, and they aren't unbeatable, I feel much better about UConn, a team we should have beat twice if we could have held a late lead at home. Syracuse we beat and I simply don't want to play SJU at MSG. And I'd rather play the Irish because they are a team I constantly want to have chances to beat, and it'd be really nice if we could be the team to ensure they don't reach the #1 seed line. Similar to UConn, had we been able to hold a lead, we'd have swept them, and despite their experience, we match up well.
