Stop crying guys. Guess what? Duke, UNC, Kansas, and WVU are not in our bracket. Who would have thought?

Cincinnati our 2? Yes please. UVA and Arizona will be VERY TOUGH to beat. But it's the NCAA tournament and you have to beat great teams to win it all anyways. Plus it's not like either of them are world beaters when it comes to making final fours.

It could have been a lot worse.

I would much rather have the teams you list (except Duke) than either UVA or Zona. UNC lost what 10 games. KU lost 3 at home. Why avoid WVU.

My biggest complaint is that 2nd round game. That's a sweet 16 matchup. Two P5 conference champs meeting in the second round. That's laughable. Sound familiar? It's 2016 all over again.

Outside of that, UVA is going to be a ridiculously hard game for us.

Arizona is beatable, but Virginia is the best tean by a landslide right now. OP most not have seen them this year.

I'm not bitching about our draw, but I am not confident about beating Arizona. Not saying we can't but it's going to be tough. And then Virginia would be very tough too. We shouldn't have lost 10 games though. Our own fault.

People will pout and complain and they have a complete complaint as ZOna and Uk were both 4 seeds but can you imagine how pissed UVA and Cincy have to be? UK and ZOna are maybe the 2 hottest teams and they are basically playing to see who gets to ***** slap UVA and Cincy though I doubt Cincy makes the elite 8.

Looks like a pretty damn tough bracket to me. Just had a dog fight with Tennessee who is in there. Arizona a potential second round. Number one overall seed in Virginia.

I'd be surprised if we see Duke in North Carolina's bracket. Have to face Tennessee potentially a fourth time? Ridiculous.

They have to pull crap like that to give the mid size schools a chance. They don't want them all out the first weekend......

I feel the same. They are good but I think we can beat them. I think Arizona is a tougher match up for us than Virginia.
20x tougher. And that sucks but you gotta play some one great at some point. IF and it is a big IF but IF we can beat Zona we are set.

I think it lined up situationally about as well as it could have.

Cal is a better coach than Miller, but Bennett will be tough. We get Miller on the quick turn around, and will get a whole week to prep for Virginia. Nothing easy, but we're ready for this.

Don’t care that Cincy is our number 2 seed. Hell it’s gonna be tough to make it there.

They are capable of making it tho but let’s not act like this was a good draw

First of all, we cannot overlook Davidson. The concerning factor is that for 90% of our team, it's the first NCAA tournament game, ever. Davidson will be more difficult than we think and I would guess that UK will be anywhere from an 8-10 point favorite. However, we can beat Arizona. IMO the PAC-12 is an overrated conference, even though we did lose to UCLA earlier in the season. IF we play Arizona, most would probably not give us a chance but I would not take Sean Miller over Cal in very many situations.

You are so far out of it man words can't describe how clueless you are. Guess what AZ got tried back, ayton still playing, even tho there season will be vacated they made sure to end ours. You really believe this ish man. You've dropped one..... thousand too many hits. We are also in Boise idaho lmao.

We have a great draw.

Our fans always talk about Virginia, Cincinnat, and Arizona as being a bunch of chokers.

In fact, our fans make fun of all three programs.

Miller can't win a big game.

Virginia can't score and always chokes in the tournamen".

Cincinnati is always a joke, and they lose early in the tournament every year.

Why are some of you bitching now? Seriously?

Oh yeah? Why did they almost lose to Louisville (a team that didn't make the tournament) a team we beat by 29?

Much worse. UVA always folds early, and UC is overrated. More worried about Zona than anybody else, but guess what, Sean Miller is very good at going home early too.

I doubt Virginia is worried about that. They are a very confident team.

I agree I think Deandre ayton would be really hard to contain.

Ill feel better about that game if Vanderbilt is healthy. We will need someone to step up on the boards against Ayton. Hes our only big capable of doing it.
