I wouldn't say easiest bracket. Will say we have some good teams that play defense in our bracket. Guard heavy teams. So if that's good matchups for us then cool.

We can beat anyone in the country... but could lose to all but about 10 teams in the tournament

I wanted no part of Villanova, Purdue, Arizona, or Illinois so we dodged them until possibly very late in the tourney

Guys on espn just said Miami is a super small team that starts 3 guards? Doesnt A&M have super small lineup? Wanst worried til i heard that.

Yeah but Miami is pretty bad on defense whereas A&M has one of the highest steal rates in the country

Miami’s top 4 scorers are guards which is pretty scary.

USC doesn’t give me much concern if they get past Miami.

Davis and Davison are lethal for Wisconsin which is worrisome.


I am OK with our draw if we can get past Miami. But we have a battle in the round of 32.

Been said 1000x...if we play the same as we have the last 10 games or so, but our guards shoot closer to what they shot the first half of the season, we will make another final four run. If they stay cold, I don't really think we make it past 32 or 16.

Thankfully, our defense will keep us in every single game. I don't see us getting blown out.

I think if we get to the second weekend it will be the irrational confidence boost that gets our magic back and anything is possible.. but I think we might have a really hard time getting there

According to KenPom it is. Most of the seeds in Midwest are overseeded. And the East seeds are mostly underseeded.

ETA: Providence is the most overseeded in the whole tournament, and Wisconsin is the 2nd most. According to Kenpom.

Can you post the other 2 or a link?

Wisconsin was beyond lucky this year. Watched probably 10 of their games and they never looked great. Johnny is a badass, and could take em somewhere but they look easily beatable to me. At the same time, good teams always find a way to win the close ones.

Our path to the final 4 in 2019. Kansas, UNC, and UK. Easily could have loss our first game against NM. Let’s win 2 this weekend and see what happens.
