No. 1 seeds
« on: March 02, 2010, 10:04:35 AM »
If we were to play our way into an 8/9 seed (which is very possible), which No. 1 seed would we least like to face in the second round? And why? Let's assume the No. 1's are Kansas, KY, Syracuse and Duke.

While i would rather not play any of them, I would have to say Duke.

The other teams listed have big time post players that would eat us up.

I believe if the committee placed us at an 8/9 seed the least likely team has to be Syracuse, because of the BE.

Give me UK.

They are young and inexperienced.  Piss off Cousins and win the game.

If KY ends up in Milwaukee, and the committee tries to avoid conference matchups in the second round - both KY and Cuse are out.

The team I would least like to face of the four is Kansas, and the team I would most want to face would be Duke.  I guess there's a 50/50 shot there.

We would not be allowed to play Syracuse until the Elite Eight, unless there are 9 BE teams in, and then it would still be not allowed until the Sweet 16 (so no 8/9 against Syracuse).

The dynamics of this can also cause changes in our seed, as we might be in a situation where they want us to be a 8/9, but because of the placement of the other BE teams they are forced to make us a 7/10 so we're in the other half of the regional bracket.
