Seems at best well set up, and at worst fair.
2- I'm more comfortable with OSU than Kansas or Mizzou, Duke wasn't going to happen.
3- I don't feel FSU is as good as their UNC/Duke wins imply. Overseeded by a few slots. I think I'd rather see them than Baylor, Marquette, or GTown
4- Wisconsin is probably a better 4 than banged-up Indiana, Michigan, or Louisville, but still fair.
5- Vandy could be tough, or they could the bed.
6- I think Cincy blew their load in beating us, and could be upset by Texas.
7- Adam Morrison's not walking through that door. St. Mary's beat them, and ND/Florida aren't pushovers either.
8- K-State is bipolar. Good K-State would be a challenge. Bad K-State would be a joke.
9- SMU is talented, but we avoided the 4th UConn matchup.
10- WV is on par with the other 10's
11- NC State looked good against UNC. Have heard good things about Colorado St. Texas is probably not winning more than 1 game.
12- Harvard may be the best 12 seed. A friend made an interesting comparison to Cornell two years back. That Big Red team defeated Wisconsin in the 2nd round...Harvard could face Wisconsin in the 2nd round.
13- New Mexico State and Davidson are as dangerous as Montana is in my book.
14- The Bonnies are just happy to be in. Belmont's the upset pick.
15-Loyola's not bad, they and Detroit could keep it single digits with a 2 seed.
16- UNC-Asheville and LIU are probably the two better 16's, but tough to compare 16's.
Overall, I think there are maybe two teams in our region who are the scariest of their seeding. There has to be a 2, 3, etc. seed in every region, but given the available options, this region doesn't work out too badly, I don't think.
Thoughts?
