Latest Bracketology -- this stinks

[Wise-Vol]

While I'm sure Vandy and Tennessee and Kentucky would all be thrilled with this bracket --
Bracketology - NCAA College Basketball Brackets and Predictions - ESPN -- Lunardi is very good at predicting who gets in, but he never gets the match-ups right. Thus, our chance of actually getting this one is probably slim.

 

[VolSkier]

why does that suck? I think that would be our easiest way to get to the Sweet 16, then we would probably play Duke, great bracket for us.

I don't think it would be an easy road, Butler sitting there is not an easy matchup. I can think of several teams I would rather face in round 2 than Butler. 1 thing that strikes me is that he places Kensucky as the #1 overall seed(if I'm not mistaken the overall #1 gets the play in winner). Kansas is a far better team and deserves that seed. Sorry Wildcats fan, the Jayhawks are the better team.

 

[Wise-Vol]

It sucks because Lunardi never projects the match-ups correct. I'd love to have the Selection Committee give us that, but like I said, Lunardi hardly ever gets the matchups correct.

Butler/Cornell would be a great matchup. Contrast in styles.

IF this was true, I would become the biggest Cornell fan ever.

I'm not sure I'd really want to play Cornell either. They can flat out stroke. That said, it would be a better matchup than Butler's tempo.

I'm picking Cornell as my 5-12 upset. Unless of course we draw them.

I agree with this bracket Butler in the second round Bruce Pearl and Tony Jones are very familiar with them.

Cornell is no pushover. They nearly beat Kansas right around the time that we did (can't remember if it was the game before or after).

UT's tempo = Butlers tempo which = UT Victory IMO

I'd love to see that Butler-Cornell matchup come to fruition. Same with Cal-ODU in the bottom half of the bracket. Also, Cal at a 7 seed? Really now?

WVU got on a lucky run through the BE tournament, I don't think they're that good.

IMO, they seem like a team ripe for a 2-7 or 2-10 upset in the second round.

That wasn't the case last time we played them.

I think we should get a three seed over Wisconsin

Correct. I believe it was on the Wednesday before we played them.

UT can beat Duke---they didn't look that good against Ga Tech, which isn't that good.

Georgia beat GA Tech, Tech really isn't that good except for Derrick Favors.

Duke has major problems in closing games out.

 

[Jonboy]

Duke's region is the one I'd prefer to be in. Followed by Kentucky, Kansas, and then Syracuse (in that order).

 

[Volman1970]

I hope we are in Duke bracket because Pearl have wanted to play them and the answer is always no.. K can't hide anymore

 

[rfalliso]

Wisconsin being seeded ahead of us is laughable
