Notre Dame was a surprise as a 3 to me. UNC was a surprise as a 3 as well. I figured they were a 4.
I get that Vandy could be a tricky second round game for Duke but to me they got the easiest 3 possible. The Vandy game is at home, gotta take care of business and then you get the benefit of the weakest 3 in the field. Don’t hate that path for Duke.
For State, I haven’t watched Michigan State so I don’t have a strong feeling on that potential match up. The idea of playing LSU is scary to me. I know everyone doubts them, but they are talented and physical. State struggled when they can’t control the boards, I don’t love that match up. Hoping FSU can knock them off personally.
I am glad State avoided USC and SC, if the Pack can make it to the elite 8 I’d rather see UCLA than either of those 2.
