This will be interesting.  UConn as a #2?

If those are the brackets, we seem to have one of the toughest paths, and I would be very happy if we got to the region finals/Elite Eight.

Hmm, I like our matchups: Davis, Auburn, Iowa State, and then Notre Dame. The last one is a doozy, but none of the one seeds are easy matchups, and I like our chances against the Domers better than against Louisville (who thumped us last year) or Baylor (who would be out for some MAJOR revenge). As far as three seeds go, I don't think Iowa State is any stronger than Syracuse, NC State, or Maryland. If anything, I'd least want to face Syracuse or NC State.

And all things considered, I'd take that over UConn's projected route: Towson, Rutgers, Maryland/UCLA/Tennessee, Louisville.

Fans with good memories may remember that Stanford's opener this season was against UC Davis. The Cardinal won 71-43. But both teams have progressed since then.

And don't look past BYU, Auburn's opponent in the 1st round. BYU beat Gonzaga three times this season. We know what happened when Stanford played Gonzaga.
