Duke/UL bracket is a cakewalk. The Midwest region is insaaaaane.

**** no that one is pretty tough not as tough as the south but still tough

 

[OrangeBowl305]

I'm ok with this. I'm not scared of Illinois or Colorado.

I'd Rank the brackets like this
1. Midwest
2. South
3. East
4. West

Bring on Pacific!

 

[Notsince1985]

I'm fine with our road to the Elite 8

Duke/UL is the Midwest...

 

[OrangeBowl305]

Pacific. Hold on to to your butts!

 

[motorcitycane]

I like where we are at. Excellent chance to make the Elite 8.

 

[CaneInTheHouse]

Lets go 6-0. NCAA Championship or bust!

 

[FullyERicht]

Wish we were in the west. Of course the Buckeyes get the cakewalk schedule.

Usually the number 1 seed is supposed to have the easiest road. I can't say that for Indiana. Syracuse, UNLV, NCST is a lot tougher than Illinois, Colorado, Marquette, and Butler.....on paper.

Still good teams but I concur. We should win either one of those games.

 

[DJ8Heisman]

I'll take playing Illinois/Colorado over Notre Dame/Iowa St. Our bracket is EXTREMELY favorable to us. Marquette is probably the weakest 3 seed.

 

[porterhouse77]

Colorado could give us trouble. Not as worried about Illinois.

 

[motorcitycane]

DJ8 agreed. The East definitely winded up being favorable for us in the end. I'm happy with our location.
So who's brave enough to start calling the upsets?

Saint Louis, Creighton, Duke, Michigan St, Okie St, Louisville thats a tough bracket

If UL was really the overall #1, then they got screwed with that draw. That's a **** tough bracket. Can't argue with the seeding of any of the teams (other than Oregon as a #12, which I think is 2-3 spots too low), but all of those teams should not be in the #1 team's bracket. Wow.

I don't like being in Indiana's bracket, but the rest of our draw is fine with me. Marquette as a #3 doesn't scare me.

Apparently they had 6 teams under consideration for the top 4 slots. We lost out, probably because of those losses to Wake and GT. The chair of the committee said that they put Gonzaga just ahead of us, but that if they have 5 #1 slots, we would have gotten one.

 

[USNAVYCANE]

Gonzaga just bearly beat us out for the one seed the committee chairman just said

 

[DJ8Heisman]

I like our draw more right now than if we were to switch with Gonzaga.
