Realistically, if we could win two in Nashville and keep it respectable in the quarter finals we could possibly sneak up to the 7 line. We're right on the border in most brackets between 7 and 8.Quote:

I think we have a great chance to beat anyone not from the SEC.
For one, Duke is amazing. Both teams are... and 2, it was at Duke which is one of the most difficult places to play. It'll be one hell of a fun game to watch if we get to see them again in the finals, and it would be one of the very rare instances I'd actually pull for Duke.Quote:

7 seed, 8 seed, 5th seed, 3rd seed. Doesn?t matter 0-1 and we try again next year, this is not a good team.Quote:
