Midwest Region 2 seed

I was about to start writing my reading notes post, but I thought I would make a little rant on our tourney prospects from my opinion. For starters, we looked HORRENDOUS today against Ohio State, but the odds of Tucker playing that bad again and for us to make so many turnovers are unlikely to hurt us again in the tourney. As far as being a 2 seed in the Midwest, it is probably a blessing in disguise compared to being a 1 seed anywhere. This is the only way we could have played so close all the way to the final four. We get the 1st two rounds in Chicago, and the next 2 in St. Louis.

So how are our match-ups? Well let's be honest, the day we lose to 15 seed Texas A&M CC is the day I drop out of college (aka, it won't happen). But the 7-10 game winner between UNLV and Georgia Tech is not that scary for us either, as we have much more depth and star power than either of those teams. Our Sweet 16 match-up would probably be Oregon, though don't doubt Notre Dame or Winthrop to be there. Oregon is definitely a good team, but their lack of post presence could be a huge advantage we could exploit. And theoretically, if we make it to the Elite Eight, there is almost no way we will be playing someone other than Florida, Maryland, or Arizona in my mind. Florida is a very formidable opponent, but those three teams all have one thing in common: They are from no where close to St. Louis. We already travel good, but if we make it to St. Louis, we'll have such a huge home court advantage that I don't see us losing easily. So I think we have our work cut out for us, but I can't imagine a better seeding in the end. So GO BADGERS!!!
