Pat Forde's Best/Worst Case Scenarios:

[mecheng03]

I guess you could look at these seriously but I kind of enjoyed and laughed at the Marquette/bucky references:

Marquette (6)

Best Case: Maurice Acker, tired of hearing that the Golden Eagles have no chance without Dominic James at point guard, hits game-winning 3-pointer to upset Memphis in the Sweet 16. From there, Jerel McNeal, Wesley Matthews and Lazar Hayward come up just short in a valiant regional final effort against UConn. Hayward comes back to school for his senior season. Buzz Williams gets a raise. Wisconsin once again fails to beat a team seeded in the top half of the tournament.

Worst Case: The Golden Eagles are hosed by the NCAA, placing them in Boise against an 11th-seeded Utah State team that is only four hours from home. Marquette has no chance without James and is done in Round 1, ending its season by losing six of seven. Hayward looks at all the guards leaving the program and decides he's out of there, too. Buzz Williams is criticized for failing to make adjustments in the absence of James. Wisconsin goes on fairy-tale run to regional final.

Wisconsin (12)

Best Case: Badgers throw the slow-down mojo at Florida State. They confuse Xavier with the swing offense. Marcus Landry scores in the paint, Jason Bohannon and Trevon Hughes score from the perimeter and Joe Krabbenhoft sets screens that take days to get around. The Badgers stroll unexpectedly into the Sweet 16 and give Pittsburgh fits before finally submitting in a 56-54 tussle. Big Ten fans pronounce the Badgers' run good for American values. Marquette loses in the first round.

Worst Case: Bo Ryan's lifetime streak of never beating a team seeded in the top half of the NCAA bracket continues when the Badgers are hosed by Florida State in the opening round. Lopsided loss calls into question the wisdom of giving a bid to a team that went 4-10 against the NCAA field, with exactly one of those wins away from home (at Michigan, Dec. 31). While Big Ten grieves, rest of the nation rejoices at the dismissal of unwatchable Wisconsin style. Marquette goes to the Elite Eight.
