ChWRoCk2 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I love Purdue's layout, I don't think much of Xavier if both teams win their first rd matchups and I'd love to see Duke vs Purdue. Â I know I'm jumping ahead but two similar style teams that could be fun. Â Baylor over Purdue won't happen, at least it better not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are underestimating Baylor. Baylor is a pretty darn good team. If they are on offensively they have a shot at routing Purdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But trust me, you guys got a sweetheart deal with that bracket. UCLA fans can start buying final four tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a pretty clear path to Duke and I consider Duke the weakest of the 2's. So I'm completely with you on that. Of course anything can happen.

WilliamTell Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 4 of the 5 teams I'm rooting for most (Kansas, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Davidson) are in the same region. Drake's the only one that's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) Looking at bracketology, it appears that Lunardi got every single team right this year. You know ESPN is going to be tooting that horn non stop come this time next year. Â And UNC is technically the #1 overall seed as they play the play in game winner and don't have to leave their own state until the Final Four, but the #1 overall seed is supposed to get the easiest region, and UCLA got that and it's not even close.

Well they did play in the toughest conference in the country and had wins against a lot of quality opponents (Stanford multiple times, Washington State Multiple times, USC multiple times, etc). I think that is what helped them but there is no arguing that they got the easiest bracket which would thus make them the #1 overall seed. Â I had them as the #2 behind UNC (I think what UNC is pretty impressive, ie, the zero road losses all season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology  Lundardi got every team in the field correct in his last bracketology, just not the seedings. Pretty impressive.  I wonder how much access he had to the committee though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I can't decide if they do that because they want to see at least some mid majors in the 2nd round with a shot at the Sweet 16, or if they want mid majors gone as quickly as possible.

I personally hate it, it's much more fun to have the mid majors play the big boys. That's why imo you didn't have as many upsets last season in the first round.
