Well, our suspicion that C.al would be put in our regional proved to be true.

More surprising to me was that the committee vaulted Tennessee over Penn State, making Tennessee a 2 and Penn State a 3.  That freed up Penn State to be sent to our bracket too, in addition to C.al.  Since the two of them play each other it makes no difference to us--but Penn State must be furious.

Looking at our first two games, does anyone know anything about Tulsa and Villanova?  One commentary indicated that Stanford could have some difficulties preparing for Villanova on "short notice" given that it has a unique system.  But I don't have any idea what that meant--what makes Villanova "unique"?

Then potentially Georgia, as Creme projected, in Spokane.  Or Iowa State if it can knock off Georgia, or even Gonzaga at home (again?)  What kind of a team is Georgia? 

Finally, I am not convinced we will get matched up with da bears again in the regional final game, given that they have some steep competition to get to us--Texas Tech and Penn State perhaps.  I think I rather hope that someone knocks of c.al before we get to them, but I do think we will be better prepared and more ready for them than in our loss.

This is doable.  And given that we beat Baylor once before, we can always be optimistic....
