By potentially drawing UConn in the second round. Kind of a joke that they are a 7 seed. They are ranked 16 in Kenpom. They have good size down low and will try and slow the pace down. Don’t love the matchup, but obviously we can beat anyone in the country if we play our game. Just food for thought.

texas in sweet 16 may be tough also.

Screw it, they are in the tourney. Either you are good enough to make a run or you're not. I've seen some say Bama has the easiest path.

Agree. Every 7/10 matchup has a team that folks are picking to shake things up. The three seeds in the sweet sixteen could be Texas, Kansas, West Virginia, and Arkansas. No easy paths.

We'll manage when the time comes. Remember Miss State has excellent low post players and we handled them 3 times (although not easily).
 
If the LSU team that played Bama Sunday shows up against Michigan then I see the possibility of them winning. I think Michigan bangs Watford around pretty good and he gets in foul trouble.
 
Texas is indeed the tough draw at first look at our bracket. Couple of two seeds, really. They were pretty solid and had comparable success down the stretch against a conference that is probably a little better than ours. I feel any game is a game we could win or lose with this bunch after the first day. It's not often you can truly say that about your entire path. We should definitely win the first one by plenty.

UConn and Texas in 2nd and 3rd round is a pretty tough draw for a 2 seed. Thought that immediately. And playing Pitino first round is no 2 vs 15 picnic.

Just as easy to say LSU and Florida State is a pretty tough draw for a 1 seed (Michigan). After the first round we're all playing a top 32 team in the nation theoretically. It should be tough.

Also I like that we get Will Wade and now Pitino in back to back games. A chance to knock out two of the biggest a-holes in college basketball today.

I am confident in our team and expect us to hammer Iona. After that, all the games should be a battle (unless we are drilling our threes at a high clip, which at that point, we can beat anyone).
 
I look a potential game with UCONN as a payback game to avenge that loss from 17 years ago. There are good teams, some better than others, in this tourney and we're going to have to beat them to advance.
