So the brackets have been decided.
I think Uconn has the easiest road to the final four, and they are supposed to be the "lowest" 1 seed
Louisville is the "best" 1 seed and seems to have the hardest road


I got Oklahoma going through Syracuse and UNC anyways on the way to the final four and championship


how about you guys? what are your thoughts?

But keep in mind, it's the Big 10. That said, I definitely see Purdue in the regional semis, maybe further.
Not sure what to think of Nova's draw. Sure, a matchup with American looks like an easy win, but they have 5 seniors, the second longest winning streak in the country (behind Memphis) and one guy with 107 made 3 pointers. Then in the second round, they play the winner of UCLA/VCU. I know UCLA isn't that good, but they have talent and play good D. It will be a close game if they play their usual defense, meaning it could come down to a coinflip. However, I feel great if we get past those first two. We'd see Duke in the regional semis, and have a huge athleticism advantage over them. Then, assuming everything is true to form, we'd play Pitt for a chance for the final four, a team we already beat by 10 this year.
I'm psyched, but it's a long road there. American in the first round will be tough enough.

I got this as my Final 4:
Louisivlle-best defensive team and 2 great playmakers (williams and clark)
Cuse-best PG in the country and they are tough
Pitt-best team to me...
Memphis-too athletic for Uconn without Dyson

I personally love the bracket Missouri was put in!
it's horrible, too bad they'll probably get dominated by Memphis IMO, but that's still the sweet 16.

Memphis doesn't scare me at all.
Especially if you're a team like Mizzou who runs all over the place and can match the athleticism of Memphis.

frazier might not be a go(or not 100%) for the illini. also PSU beat the Illi twice, but didn't get in.
Anyone see any trouble for Oklahoma down the road? They remind me of Utah when Bogut was there.

I like WKU a lot. They won their 12-5 last year, but they did lose Courtney Lee. However, Illinois is just awful, IMO. I am a big fan of Cleveland state...they beat Cuse earlier this year and also beat Butler to win their league. I also like USC, but that one is tougher. I think if they win, it will be because of their far superior athleticism.
All three underdogs could win those games. If I had to choose one, I'd take WKU over Illinois.

My big risk of my bracket besides Missouri is having OU lose in the second round. Even if they do make the Sweet 16, I don't see them getting past Syracuse.
