Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 5224443, member: 7492"] Here's a suggestion-How about play better against the P4 Schools, get better players, get better coaches and pay them like the Big East Men's programs do. Even the outrage at Creighton being project an 8 seed irritated far too many on this forum who were misguided in their assessment. Creighton needs to beat Illinois and prove the committee wrong (though that theory always has holes in it). The depth of players, better coaching and more schools willing to pay for programs means the depth has drastically improved for this tournament. The second round is now going to be full of quality games among the top 32 teams, which was unimaginable 10 years ago. Heck, plenty of the 8/9 games offer compelling matchups. To me, this is still largely a "chalk" tournament with a probable 6 of the top 8 seeds making it to the Elite 8. There will be some great Sweet 16 games with LSU-NC State and rematch for ND with TCU. I predict both LSU and ND winning those two games to qualify for the Elite 8. Overall, this is any of 8 teams opportunity to win. [/QUOTE]
