[QUOTE="GilThorpe, post: 1590739, member: 10589"] agree 100%. in prep basketball, back in the day ,they used to never seed - maybe they do a little bit now like they do in football, I really dont know in only matters a little in the NCAA tourney in that you simply want your road to be as smooth as possible. If you can avoid playing a #1 seed in the first 4 rounds, maybe they have a bad night & get knocked off before you need to face them. But the bottom line really is , to be the best , you need to beat the best. As fans we are simply wanting/expecting to get to the Elite 8 or Final 4. At that point, just about anything can happen. See 1989 and 2005. Get to the Final 4 enough times and sooner or later you should win it. [/QUOTE]
