Give me a first round matchup against a team with suspect defensive metrics and a second round potential of Purdue or Wisconsin, and I’ll be happier than a pig in ****.

We always say we want Big Ten teams in the tournament and then when we get them, we never win.

I don’t disagree with you. Wisconsin with their best player/consensus all American dinged up sounds better than Gonzaga or Arizona, doesn’t it?

I am not sure it matters what seed/who the opponent is. I think this team is done for. Hope they prove me wrong, but writing seems on the wall. They are worn out, tired, and have been exposed too often. Thrilled that they'll be getting an invite and can hang their names on the banner in Hilton, but I won't be expecting any NCAA wins regardless of who the opponent is. I will just be tickled to not be playing in Dayton, which quite frankly is better than the team in its current state of affairs deserves.

I wouldn't go that far. They get a week off now. I think they can win a 1st round game.

 

[snowcraig2.0]

that would suck.

Not sure actually.

I don't know that it'd suck any more than any other draw. MSU had argument as a more inconsistent team than us. I know about Izzo's tournament pedigree but I don't think even he likes his team this year.

The 1st round is all about us. Make shots and do the little things and we can beat anybody..don't and we can lose to anybody. I do not expect us to win 2, regardless of the draw and I'm ok with that.

I’d like to be in Arizona’s bracket. I think our defense stymies their offense and I think the PAC 12 is weaker than the other power conferences. Colorado just beat them badly and they won’t even make the dance.

Would love to see what Iowa does against Texas Tech. I don't think it would end well for them.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I am a little shocked to see Iowa on the 5 line, but love the matchup. South Dakota State would give them a run for their money.

Cry, pout, Francon 1.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Auburn getting beat bad right now and didn't Arizona lose a really good guard to injury in their last game? I'd probably take either of those as a 1 seed.

 

[jctisu]

that would suck.

Disagree. A chance to exorcise some demons with Michigan State and then I will gladly take Auburn over any of the other 1’s. They have shown several times this year they play down to their competition/just play flat ball.

I want Iowa to land on the 6 line and draw Memphis as the 11. Nobody wants a piece of Memphis right now if you are a 4 seed or worse. They have gelled really well the last month and their raw talent is starting to show through.

REVENGE

 

[AppleCornCy]

Any chance we don’t get in? I think we’ll make it but won’t be surprised if we’re an 11 seed based on conference record and recent play.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Palm dropped us to an 8 against Marquette

I don’t think so. Think we are safely in. Should we be or not is a completely different discussion.

Nah 10 at the absolute worst.

 

[BryceC]

This isn’t a team that can go on a run and beat a 1 or 2 seed. Their ceiling is winning 1 and that is likely more difficult as 10 than a 9 or 8.

Probably fair. Honestly I'm just happy to be confident going into selection Sunday.
