Musketeer Madness

Here is the latest from Lunardi:

SOUTH:
1. Virginia
2. Purdue
3. Auburn
4. WVU

EAST:
1. Villanova
2. Duke
3. Wichita St
4. Ohio St

WEST:
1. Kansas
2. UNC
3. Tennessee
4. Arizona

MIDWEST:
1. Xavier
2. MSU
3. Cincinnati
4. Texas Tech

I don't know how I would feel about sharing a bracket with UC, but avoiding WVU as long as possible is really what I am concerned with. I'm not sure how X would handle that press

No need to fear Press Virginia. In my opinion X is perfectly suited to match-up with them. They are good and can really get rolling but they are limited offensively in the half court set. X could run a lineup out there with Kanter at the 5 where all five players can handle the ball well. Spacing and ball fakes as well as just remaining calm would easily beat their pressure. Sure WVU would get a couple steals, but nothing tragic. I would welcome seeing them as a 3 should we be a "2". Or at any point. I would much more fear a team like NC State as an 8/9 if we are a 1 or a 7 if we are a 2. But then, opinions are rampant and those are just my own. Makes this time of year a BLAST!
Let's beat the Friars first eh.

I can just see the commitee members congratulating themselves on how clever they are by putting X and UC in the same bracket.

i would be willing to put a good sum of money down on the fact that XU and UC WON'T end up in the same bracket.

More worried about MSU than WVU or UC. Also, I don’t want to see Va Tech showing up on our radar.
