3 seed

[mike012]

If we can’t beat Iona then there is a good chance we didn’t belong as a 3 or 4 seed. You do have to beat teams

 

[HuskyHawk]

So the 2nd worst one seed. Probably the second worst 2 seed. A 13 seed that’s even closer to Albany than we are and has a HoF coach. Only blessing is St. Mary’s. Could be worse.

How does Xavier get a 3 over us? Yet, I like our bracket better.

They beat us twice and came in 2nd regular season. Shouldn’t have gotten it anyway

 

[gtcam]

They gave X a 3 seed. That was a gift

If UConn had beaten Xavier once it would have been a 3 for UConn
Right or wrong that’s the way I called it

We should beat Iona.

We should beat St. Mary's/VCU.

I'm not afraid of Kansas (if they get there), UCLA, Gonzaga, TCU, etc.

But we have to win that first ******* game. We just have to.

Iona will press us and They have a few big wins. Also, VCU plays up in your face defense and will take Newton out his game. Sure we should win but we should have son as a 4 last year.

Against Pitino with days of prep.

I can already hear the excuses if we don't get it done.

 

[HuskyHawk]

PC gets Kentucky

 

[Rocktheworld]

Called it.

@alphasigko certainly didn’t

Let’s hear it bud

This is where I am. Get off the schneid and we can go far. I don't hate this draw.

Honestly the best part is we can prep for the press all week.

 

[swami7774]

UNC didn’t make it. I’m happy.

 

[jibsey]

Rutgers got screwed.

A gift yes. But we should’ve beaten them at Gampel we might’ve flipped spots.

 

[ScottVib]

Hard to argue one line of seeding against a team that beat you head to head twice.

Look. They're a good team. We should beat them.

They haven't played a team nearly as good as us all year (best opponent is New Mexico) and they are 1-3 against the Top 100 (and really just the bottom half).

You can't lose this game when your fans can drive there and you're a good team.

 

[giddyup]

We got we deserved. Now it’s time to put up or shut up.

 

[Ripper32]

Clingan should eat against Iona.

There's no excuse.

 

[wingsfan055]

If we dont make it to the 2nd weekend with this draw, something is wrong.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Clearly the Committee consulted The Boneyard regarding Iona and VCU.

Just win.

Just win.

No excuses need the S16 with this draw. Just get it done.

 

[August_West]

There's no excuse.

There’s not. You just have to win. But we got the 13 no one wants as a 4, and then the 12 that is the only 12 that can make our life hell because their strength on D is the worst matchup for the way this team is built . If people were impressed by Marquette’s ball pressure, wait until you see VCU.

Yup

Look at the other 5 seeds. We could gotten Duke. This is a good draw.
