Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3856495, member: 5798"] Right!!! That is why your draw in the bracket is so important. Every year it seems like some #1 seeds have an easier path to the FF than others. You hope like the dickens you don't draw certain teams you don't match up well with. Every team wants to advance as far as they can. Of course, you don't pick your bracket, you play the next team up and try to play your best game of the tournament to that point. Suffice it to say no team wants to draw a top 5 team early on. I remember a player saying during a media interview (during the Stewart era) that while watching the tournament selection show, the one thing she and her team were hoping for was that they were not put in UConn's bracket. She said they didn't care who else thay had to play. It may have been the year that UConn was undefeated. If the dice are rolling your way, they will be eliminated before you can see them. If not, you just roll up your sleeves, tighten your belt and handle your business. [/QUOTE]
