We would need our 'A game' with UCLA or Duke (if they end up as a 3) and I would personally rather have UL,wvu or Baylor.

I think we could win vs WVU , UL or Baylor with our 'B game'. the ONLY way we get UL or Duke in the sweet 16 if UNC drops to the 2 line.

actually I still predict we will get either Baylor or WVU as our 3 with UNC as our one.

I hope so. I don't want UCLA.

I tend to agree that this is the most likely bracket, especially the 1's and 2's. But...I have a suspicion that we might be able to avoid UCLA. If UCLA is rated below Baylor or West Virginia (or both), then UCLA is heading East. UCLA's RPI, any other computer metric, and placement back in February make this a possibility. And the committee might send them there to avoid a rematch game in the Sweet 16.

And honestly, I don't see that big a difference with any of the 3's. They're all dangerous in different way, but all of them seem vulnerable to me. I'd probably prefer Baylor the most, because they seem to be fading, but they're a really big team that plays nothing but zone. Not sure that's a great thing for UK.

Id like to avoid UCLA and Arizona. With their talent at the 4 spot, both are a very bad matchup. I also don't want to play Duke, their talent is obvious and when they put it together like they did last night they're a very good team (like our '14 team).
