Looks good. Just going off the eye test, here are some gut reactions and comments to the first bracket.
ReplyDelete1. Duke/Texas for the last 1 seed is intriguing. Duke's RPI is weak but the win over UNC boosted it over the Horns. UT has the advantage of not playing KU in the regular season whereas Duke travels to Chapel Hill. Could come down to who wins their conference tourney.
2. Teams I would bump down: UConn, BYU, SDSU, FSU, 'Cuse
3. Teams I would bump up: G'Town, Tennessee, Temple, Xavier
