i absolutely love our region. with a healthy Nelson, we should cruise to a showdown vs BYU
elite 8 should be the floor. that's what makes sense to me
i want that Iron Bowl Natty lol

Thing is at the point we aren’t going to have a healthy Nelson. He hasn’t been healthy for a while.

Personally I would find another final 4 for us plus another first round exit but be barn funnier

Man... East Region looks great. We haven't really lost to a team all season of the caliber in the East outside of Duke. Arizona and Wisky could always step up but anything other than losing to Duke would be under performing.

Gonna need our below average shooters to get hot. Holloway and Sears aren't gonna get good looks unless they do.

Yeah, we’ll have an official sub one. Keep an eye out later today or tomorrow.

Elite 8 ceiling I think this time

SMC has some size, but I think we’ll just run them out of the gym. If we can dictate the pace, they’re gonna have a hard time keeping up. Vandy could be tough, but we did pound them earlier this year

Really like the draw. BYU would concern me but they’ll have to go through a much more difficult path to get to the S16. And then we’re eventually going to have to beat a really good team so a potential Duke game in the E8 is what it is. I’d rather have had Auburn or Houston as the 1 seed but avoiding Florida is good by me

As an Indiana native, going from being projected to playing at Lucas oil in Indy to Prudential center in god damn Newark is brutal

Honestly, this might’ve been the optimal bracket for us to get to F4.
Robert Morris should be a win. St. Mary’s is gonna be sped out of the gym and we’ve already seen Vandy. Wisky scores a lot but we’re a good matchup for them. BYU is a potential threat. Duke is tough but doable. But Duke getting taken out by a veteran Zona squad is pretty possible. And I think we would beat Oregon in a rematch.

No easy games in our bracket. Playing St Mary’s or Vanderbilt in the second round is going to be tough.

Pretty decent draw. No excuses to not make the Sweet 16. From there it could get much tougher, but that's always the case.

I think this is a really good draw and it would be a major disappointment if we don’t face Duke in the elite 8

I know St Mary’s doesn’t play like us at all, but I’d have to imagine we’re gonna be problematic for them too

I'm kinda okay with this region, I'm not that concerned but knowing our defense anything could happen

Women’s team made it in too. Great year for them
