[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 784446, member: 274"] Also there's really no justification for wanting to face a 1-seed early. Every year there's a drop off after the first several teams. Let others take a crack and do the dirty work and hope their 10-15% chance at success works first. Re: we're "hot". Some devil's advocate perspective: during our current 5 game win streak, we beat one tournament team (VT). VT was vulnerable for a variety of reasons (Covid break, injuries, lack of practice). We didn't blow the doors off teams that are outside looking in, at home (Cuse, Duke). We won as NCAAT teams do. That's great. Doesn't make us "hot". Miami was a dumpster. We are so far from being in the ballpark of Gonzaga, Baylor, Michigan. Can we beat them? Yes. But there is nothing that materially differentiates us vs. the masses that'll be seeded 6-12 and have been generally flicked aside by that bunch. To be clear, I like our guys and am ready to roll with them. I will go into every game knowing we can win. But the 1 seeds are in a different class that greatly reduces our odds of success. [/QUOTE]
