I bet Pearl would love to see Illinois in the first round of the Dance. And I would too. I saw them play Wisconsin last week and they are flat terrible. In fact, if the Committee gives Illinois an invite, they owe MSU and Ole Miss apologies if they don't get in. Illinois is one of the worst big-name schools I have seen in some time.
How would you like to be Butler and have to play Florida in the first round? Ouch. I saw Butler play last night. Florida would run away from that team.
If the Committee does put us anywhere near Kansas, they are sending yet another terrible message -- don't schedule tough teams during the regular season because the Committee will think it's cute to put you on a revenge collision course. Better to get a home and home with KSU or A&M and leave teams like Kansas, Duke, UNC, Syracuse, etc. alone.
I have a feeling Duke seeing L'ville in the 2nd round would mean another early exit for the Blue Devils. In fact, that Bracket might give Vandy it's first appearance in the Final Four.
I don't think Baylor, Georgetown, West Virginia, or Michigan State are teams that KY wants to see on the way to the Final Four. Calipari v. Izzo would be like lining up Lane Kiffin in the Tennessee drill against Dan Williams. It would be an ugly, ugly mismatch.
