Message: [QUOTE="cuse522, post: 2103160, member: 1149"] Getting back to the original post, I think we're even more dangerous than we even thought possible a few weeks ago. The zone is really improving IMO. White is getting a lot better in it, and I think it's getting more aggressive. Plus Battle is emerging late in the year a lot like Malachi did last year. We're also in a weird spot, because as long as we're in without a First Four game, I'd much rather be an 11-seed than an 8-10. I think our odds of beating a 6-seed are just as good as our odds of beating a 7-seed. There are maybe 3-6 teams we have virtually no shot against, though, and they're 1- and 2-seeds. So I'm more concerned with avoiding them in the first weekend than having a slightly easier first round matchup. You basically inherit the seed advantage of the team you knock off, so I'd rather knock off a better team if our odds of winning that game don't change all that much, and IMO they don't. [/QUOTE]
