What teams do you want to avoid in the NCAAT?

[speedfrk]

Duke, Virginia, Tennessee, UNC, Kentucky, Gonzaga, Michigan, Michigan State.

If we are playing any of these teams I’ll be excited because it will likely be for an elite 8 or final 4 bid

 

[FlGator22]

I’ll play anyone. Just let us in.

If Kentucky is hitting their open shots at a decent clip (yeah, that's everyone's wish) and are full strength, then I feel good vs. anyone. We have improved immensely on D and have the roster to compete with anyone. The exception may be Duke if they're also hot from 3. But then, I don't think anyone is beating Duke w/a healthy Zion if they bring their A+ game.

If we are struggling from the perimeter, I'd like to play a team like UNC - who are going to run. Better chance scoring in transition and pulling it out. Conversely, I'd hate to see Virginia. Can't bully ball those guys easily, they are well coached and play their scheme perfectly. You have hit shots to loosen them up.

For Tech,

FSU, LSU, Virginia (if their shooting is on), Duke (if healthy). Everyone else can bring it on.

What a great 2 years for Texas Tech. They are fun to watch, and their fans are top notch. They can dismantle 6 teams come tourney time. They are definitely top 6 in the country.

want to stay away from teams with length and athleticism in the front court.

I am not understanding Wofford projected as a 8/9 seed. They are top 20 on Kenpom and have some very solid metrics. That could be a very scary 2nd round game for a 1 seed. UVA vs. Wofford in Columbia? Yeah, no ****ing thanks.

It’s this lame ass Net rankings. The same one that puts 16-15 UT in, a middling TCU team in and has Gonzaga as #1 despite playing 3 really good teams and losing to two of them.

I’m too lazy to look this up, but when Zags were a 1 seed in 17, who did they beat in OOC?

What teams are you hoping your squad avoids based on their projected seeding right now if you could create the bracket?

Here are some teams I hope Duke doesn't play at full strength:

Wofford (2nd Round)
Ole Miss (2nd Round)
Buffalo (2nd Round)
Texas Tech (Sweet 16)
LSU (Sweet 16)
Tennessee (Elite 8)

You're going to play a good team in the Final 4 so I didn't mention the obvious like UVA and the Zags.

what teams do I want Kentucky to avoid:

Duke
Virginia
Gonzaga
Tennessee
Auburn
North Carolina
Kansas
Nova
Michigan
Texas Tech
Purdue
MSU
LSU
Houston
FSU
UL


Bring on Virginia Tech, Nevada, Wofford, Maryland et.al.

TT would be a tough matchup for UNC. UVA lite.

I want duke and UK in the same bracket.

Would not be scared facing UK, without Travis of course - AC vs Hagans, could Morsell cover Herro, Bruno vs PJ...

 

[CB3UK]

My answer depends wholly on when we get Reid back for matchup purposes. We were playing like the 2nd best team in the country before he went down.
