Before anyone blasts me with "December tourny projections are meaningless" and the such, I don't care. Speculation is fun. I like the draw. Only Baylor seems like a red flag to me...

Getting the #1 overall seed is HUGE this year, IMO. Could be the difference between the #2 seed in your region being Duke/UNC/OSU/UK and a team like Xavier

 

[SkanSU]

I'm not liking San Diego State and Indiana ... and how does the BE get 8 in? SH is a play in, SU, UConn, Pitt, Marquette, L'ville, G'town, and WVa ... that's going pretty deep. Wow Duke in the West ... but NC in Greensboro. Like the idea of Boston tho ... Beantown would be great!! Not holding my breath ... early yet

Doesn't matter where SU is seeded, if they are in the East, they will be extremely difficult to beat this year.

the UConn games will be huge in determining who is in the east

Lunardi has SU as the #1 overall seed too.

Does that mean he doesn't hate us anymore?

Does it also mean our schedule hasnt been a complete joke so far?

(12) FSU is a bad match up for (5) Pitt IMO

 

[JeffCuse]

This is why I hate people who argue the #1 overall seed is meaningless.

Pittsburgh and Boston would be a tremendous path

Yes. I'd MUCH rather play Xavier in the E8 than UNC

 

[BlackSquirrels]

Lunardi's the man...even his hair is looking a little better this year!

Love your enthusiasm, but let's be real, this isn't 1970 and we aren't UCLA. In today's NCAA tourney, elite teams get bounced all the time. We have no consistent low-post scoring, and we had 2nd-half deficits to our three BCS conference opponents. Could we win a national title? Abso-freaking-lutely. But we certainly wouldn't be "walking" there.

Don't worry, doesn't matter who they play, Pitt choking in the postseason is an annual tradition.

There is very little chance of a Jim Boeheim team that is THIS talented getting ousted early. Just not gonna happen.

That game would be unwatchable. Almost Big 10-esque.
