Well, I’m excited again. This is, on paper, the best draw we’ve had in many, many years. The other really good teams in the South (Houston, Marquette) have serious injury issues. But we’ve also shown we can lose to basically anyone in the field.

The first time the committee has done us some real favors in some time. I'd be royally pissed if I were a UConn fan. I think that they've drawn up a very tough road for what is the undisputed #1 team in my mind. Auburn can play with them if the game is officiated a certain way. If they get there, Florida Atlantic is going to be dangerous because they'll play with nothing to lose and the confidence of knowing that they can make a run. If Iowa State can turn them over and shoot the ball well, they can play with UConn too-- they'll have to play their A-game and hope for some breaks, but they are capable enough.

It is going to hurt my soul to watch Duke beat Houston.

Please God no.
