We don’t know yet. Most brackets right now have Purdue number one overall, which would mean our bracket would be matched up with Houston.
I’ve been in the camp all season that we just had to get Brooklyn-Boston and let the rest of the chips fall where they may. We’ve accomplished that, and I still feel that way.
But, to nitpick, there is a line of thought that we want to be number one overall, theoretically, to avoid playing Purdue/Houston until the national title game (and making them go through each other beforehand in the Final Four).
That said, if we do get to the Final Four, bring on whoever. I’m usually a semantics guy, but I think it’s not worth worrying about here. Get us a bracket, give us a path to Phoenix, and I trust Hurley to do his damndest.
