I'm pretty sure the play by play guy on Duke game said this is Duke's 1st game vs a ranked opponent since December, when they played Auburn! At home.

That's crazy.
If you look at Louisville schedule, it looks like a mid major schedule, these ACC teams are horrible.

Texas A&Ms top player missed 2 games they lost. Another loss was without their 2nd best player.

Purdue and Arizona were very healthy, though.
Didn’t AZ lose their stud 7 footer just prior to conference season? Lloyd had commented at one point that he considered Krivas (sp?) their most important player. Huge credit to them turning it around for Big 12 play.

Yeah. I guess I meant injuries to players that are back.

Thats funny everyone definitely has there own opinions, i personally would take playing anybody else in tourney but Alabama, it is byu on steroids…how many 3s would we give up
to them?
Maybe it is because I just saw them get their doors blown off by Florida. Ive seen them play several times this year and never that impressed. I also think they could get knocked off in the 2nd round. With that said, of the Lunardi current 2 seeds, below is likely the order Id prefer to see:

1.) St. Johns
2.) Mich St.
3.) Bama
4.) Tenn

Tenn the one 2 seed I really would prefer not to see.

St Johns sounds fun, pressure defense vs pressure defense.

MSU is who I’d like to play, but seems to me like it’ll be Bama.

Weird that anything in these tournaments could affect our seed seeing how last year our winning did nothing to help us.

Seriously, if we drop because of a tournament performance by us or anyone else, I want to hear Jamie defend the committee's decision this year.

So far in Bracketmatrixes updated today, 24 have us as a 3 seed and 9 have us as a 4 seed. And the ones that have us as a 4 have A&M as a 3, which I find unlikely.

So… I’m cautiously optimistic

Also seems pretty clear Wisconsin played their way to a 3 seed. So the overall seed line between us, Kentucky, and Wisconsin will determine if we go to Milwaukee. Otherwise I think we’re Denver bound.

It's so close between us and Wisconsin. It would be funny if we get the nod because our non con SOS is better than theirs.

I was just thinking this. If the committee really and truly seeded teams 1-9 before yesterday then we will know. Because if that’s the case Iowa state should be a 3 in Milwaukee over Wisconsin.

Not so sure that’s true. Those 9 teams are probably some order of: Auburn, Houston, Duke, Florida, Bama, Tennessee, Michigan State, St John’s, and Texas Tech. Still room for movement after that
