That would be an awesome draw. I'd be scared of Butler in the 2nd round, but I'd really like our chances against Zona or Gonzaga on a neutral court. I'd take this bracket in a heartbeat.

LOL - Might want to revisit January 31st before you completely discount them for losing to Pitt.
Tuche but cuse was at home we went on the road after a emotional win against duke.

Pitt is also trying to play their way into the tourney - that road win at 'Cuse means a lot to them since they haven't won much of anything on the road this season. Should finish with 20 wins but their resume needed that for sure.
I wasn't trying to put pitt down their a good team. The only way the get into the tourney is if they keep winning. They needed the win like you said. I was just saying cuse isn't very good as years past. They have struggled mightily this year. Being at home definatly gives us a big advantage. We are gonna have to make our perimeter shots cause its gonna be hard to drive on them. They dont have too much offense after christmas. I think brey will do they same as he did with okafor and let christmas do his work but dont let up 3 pointers. Cuse has nothing to lose so for them to come into our house and win would be a big win for their season.
For our sake i hope they do beat virgina at home that would be nice
Unfortunately even if we win out and so does duke they get the 2 seed because they beat virginia so we gotta hope some one beats duke or we are basically looking at the 3 seed

Yep, will just come down to who we would rather play in quarterfinals. The Top-5 seeds seem pretty locked in at this point, so we're most likely playing either NC State, Pitt, or Miami in the quarters unless they get upset beforehand.

What difference does it make? Most likely #2 and #3 are playing eachother in the Semifinals. Otherwise it is the difference in starting out against #6 or #7, not a difference worth losing any sleep over for sure.
Winner of #7 vs #10
or
winner of #6 vs (#11 or #14)
Nothing more than bragging rights to say we finished ahead of Duke in regular season. The ACC tourney will say more to which team is better this season though.

Ya that would be a fun rubber match. Sucks that the tourney is in their back yard so gotta give them a bigger advantage for sure. Like irishfan said before its most likely gonna be pitt nc state or miami we play so we should make it to semis.

If we are a 3 seed our best bet for advancing would be to avoid the Kentucky bracket and hopefully whatever bracket Wisconsin will likely be a 2 seed in.
As for the ACC tourney, the key is avoiding the 4 seed which we should pretty much lock up if we beat Cuse. A 4 seed means your first game is likely against Louisville or North Carolina, which could mean 0-1 in the tourney. A 2 or 3 seed gives you a game against a Clemson/Miami type team which should give you a little boost before going up with nothing to lose against Duke.

Would be nice to get one back from them if we play them again
Ya that was a little surprising. But like i said yesterday seth davis likes us more the arizona so TIFWIW. he put us at 8 behind kansas

NCAA tournament Bracket Watch: Virginia, Gonzaga cling to top seeds - College Basketball - SI.com
SI has us as a #2 over Arizona. We've got the same key wins as them, and none of the crappy losses that they have.

Well UNC should have beat them. Not sure how you blow an 8 point lead with two minutes to go. I skipped the OT and went to bed, because I knew what the outcome was going to be at that time. I don't see anyone beating Duke before the semis, but you never know.

Wow. Would have guessed it would be more like 5-6. Especially with the BC one at 6.5 haha.
Wow surprised he has us as a 2 seed but I'm not going to complain. Winning the next two games (mostly at Louisville) can go a long way and a win in the ACC tourney

I get the feeling they probably lost money on that too. I think they're over adjusting because the bettors will be too
