Yep - just for effect - there's Kansas in the last slot I put up above.
Funny thing if it were to work out that way to face the last nonconference team to beat us at home and the last mid-major to take us down as early as the 2nd round.
The good news being that we'd be stoked for revenge - well, the fanbase would be & the coaching staff CERTAINLY would not overlook either of THOSE two programs that's for sure.
Can you imagine if they were to face Northern Iowa and follow that up with Tulsa?!?!?
I don't agree w/ Lunardi that the committee would pair us as a 2-seed w/ Kentucky right now....the committee tries very hard to avoid those kinds of rematches as late as they possibly can.
