It's really imbalanced and I think you actually have to look at Q1 and Q2 combined. Our first tourney win is going to be another Q2 if we get it. Second win would most likely be another Q1. In either case no matter who we play in our first game it's likely we knock out competition for the bid we want. If we snag two wins and Louisville goes out in their first ACCT game they could be in trouble at our benefit. Beyond the talking heads, it's possible we may be in better position than we think. There are examples in the past where avoiding bad losses has served as a strong factor beyond just getting good wins. Note that all but one of our road losses were Q1 losses. The ugly stain on our resume is Pitt. If we hadn't bombed those games we probably are securely in. [/QUOTE]
