Can't think of a better team to play in the first round or a worse team to play in the second round.
At least after the Purdue game is decided, everyone in the world will know which is the better engineering school.
After last night, I'm going to have to see this team right the ship before my confidence returns. Something was seriously off last night.
As a 7-10 seed, there will be no possible second round matchup that is good for us. Take your pick from this list ...
Syracuse, Kentucky, UNC, Duke, Ohio State, Michigan State
Count me in as someone that would be very happy with an 11 seed.

I would much much rather play Duke, Ohio State, or MSU. I'm not saying we'd beat them but we'd have a much better chance against them than the other 3.
Duke. They are like us in that they live and die by the 3. Our perimeter defense is outstanding it is our interior defense that hurts us. Maybe OSU too.
Someone in an adjacent group tried to tell me that Scotty was not feeling well. That is all I know. I was surprised that CA did not have a better game.
I think that Duke may be the best matchup for us on that list, but I would worry about how we would guard the three point line.
Beating any of them would of course be monumental tasks for almost every team in the country.
I wouldn't mind an 11. It probably won't happen, but I wouldn't be upset with it if that means we don't have to face a 1 or 2 if we win the first game.
I would take on Duke or Ohio State though if I had a choice. Maybe Michigan State on the fringe, but probably not. Sullinger vs. White would be interesting. Sullinger is a dough boy and can't jump.
I think we're pretty much locked into the 8-9 game but I could see us being a 7 as well. With the loss last night, we gained another RPI top 50 win since Texas moved up too 44 after beating us. Not many teams have that many.
Another thing to possibly keep in mind is our resume is still near-identical to Florida, which is being seeded much higher. Just because the media insists on sticking with their preconceived biases and places us in an 8-9 game doesn't necessarily mean the committee is going to think the same way.
