    I give a **** if its Kentucky or Duke. This is why we play the games. This is what we want.

    THIS means we have made it.
    The chance to beat Kentucky, Louisville, and Duke to get to a Final Four and play Michigan State and Florida for a National Championship would beyond our wildest dreams.

      Round 1/Kentucky/Louisville/Duke/Arizona/Florida

        The Bluejays were built to beat Baylor.

        • It is so transparent that the committee wanted to send a message to WSU, they gave us the most difficult bracket. Fine, the cards have been dealt, we'll play. No doubt GM and the team knows this. I'm confident that this will be used as a motivation. If we go all the way to the FF, it will be a Dominique Wilkins windmill tomahawk slam dunk that we have earned it and ******* and Gottlieb can eat their crap burger with fries. GM's said it, we'll play anyone and on a neutral court, the committee has given us what we've wanted.

            It tough because of the name on the other jersey, but that's about it.

                  • From the OFFICIAL NCAA S-Curve Louisville was the #1 4 seed and Kentucky was the #1 8 Seed Duke the #1 3 seed

                    Pretty freaking obvious.
                    The mountains are calling, and I must go.

                    • There are a lot of names in our bracket but not many teams, IMO. KState/Kentucky were better than both teams and our guys will be locked in for either game. Louisville is the exception. They're a very good team. Unfortunately for them so are the shockers. And these boys would love some pay back. Duke/Michigan? Bring em on.

                      The best part about this bracket is that we won't have to see FLA until NC. FL vs WSU for the NC would be epic. This is going to be a very fun tournament.

                      • I think the NCAA selection committee believes in us, knows we are pissed that these teams avoid teams like us, and wants to give us an opportunity to show the country we are the real deal.

                        • I'll tell you what, when we win against that schedule there better be a whole lot of new believers.

                            I know it's the whole 'message board dream matchup' thing, but you realize it takes winning consecutive games to make it to the final four, right?

                              +1. Julius Randle is a load down low but I'll be eager to see how he likes the three headed monster.

                              Edit: still games to play. I would not be surprised to see KState win that game.

                                If they do make it to the Sweet 16, that shows what can happen when you get a better seed. If they were still in the MVC, they'd probably be 2 or 3 seeds worse, making it tougher to make the Sweet 16.
