It is not the easiest but it could have been way worse. KSU is #17 by Sagarin but only 2-7 against Sagarin top 25 teams. They have plenty of height. Not a high scoring team. A couple of good three point shooters but that's it. Their defense is not as good as our statistically. They don't look to be a dominant rebounding team. That's just from a very quick look at their stats. A rematch with Texas would be tough. They had a great stretch late in the season and then struggled at the very end. My theory is I would rather play teams that have been hot, figuring they are due to come back to the mean for them. I dislike playing a very good team that has struggled because they are due to break out of the struggle (back to their mean). Well, just win the first two and then we shall see. Cal as a 9 is a surprise. They play LSU in the Mediocre Bowl for a chance to play a cranky Baylor team and watch Mulkey go nuts. I feel bad for UCLA. I thought they would be a 3 but they are a 4 in UConn's bracket. They could give the Huskies trouble if their shooters are on and Canada goes wild.
