Regardless of how we got here. We're here again. Likely 8/9 seed matched up with Duke or Houston in round 2 if we finally win a game.

Duke had two major injuries today. Flagg will be back but Brown i'm not so sure. If we end up in that bracket, we'll be away from SEC Refs and have a real shot at making a run. Here's hoping we're not the first ****ing game again.

Creighton / Memphis / UConn / New Mexico / Marquette / Baylor / Utah State / WVU is our likely first round opponent.

I would imagine UConn gets put with Duke for ratings on Sunday night if they were to meet in round two. Might as well stick us there and make it hell. Been a very fun season with some thrilling wins and crushing defeats. But it comes down to who can win their next six.

I think UCONN is going to end up on the 7 line, just a hunch. My guess is that we'll get matched up with New Mexico and be on Houston's side. I actually don't hate how we'd match up with Houston. They aren't very big and their defense has not looked good for about the last month. Duke would be a tough matchup. Matthews would have to guard Flagg, Kugel would have to guard Knueppel, Hubbard would need to guard Proctor or James(and be giving up 7 inches), Melendez would need to guard the other one, and Nwoko would have to keep Malauch off the boards.

If Jerry Palm (and selfishly, me) has his way - we get a 6 line and could end up in Milwaukee against ISU or Wisconsin. I'd love that. Especially an ISU game. Lower bowl in Fiserv will be cheap and easy for me to get to.
