#2 seed in the Lexington Region:
Two potential rematches: #3 Texas in the Sweet 16, #1 N.D. in the Elite 8
We travel to Manhattan, Kansas to play New Mexico State on Saturday with a matchup against Kansas State in the second round looming
I'm not thrilled about facing the Longhorns again, since they are very talented, have improved and will certainly be very motivated to avenge their loss to us from November
But looking at the other #3 seeds that we could have been matched up with (excluding UW since they are a conference foe): Maryland, who though their SOS got heavily criticized, is very talented and a perennial heavyweight and Florida State, who gave UConn their closest win (by only 2 points), it wouldn't have been an easy game with either of them
