No complaints. We can get to the Sweet 16. And beyond. LFG
Someone on the Selection Committee was obviously reading our Coaching Carousel thread. Way too many storylines with Brad vs. Texas or Brad vs. Sean Miller.
Did they not destroy Alabama yesterday? And two weeks ago @ their place? Same with @ Auburn? And Tennessee at home by 30+? Them being the 4th 1 seed is comical to me.

How the heck did Purdue get a 4 and Michigan got a 5? No question that Michigan should've been a higher seed

A chance to get sweet, sweet revenge on Kentucky years later? Amazing.
Oh wow. Illinois could not have asked for a better draw I think. Which of course means we’ll some how lose in round 1…

WHAT A DRAW!!!!! Awesome, we get Milwaukee, we get to play the winner of a play-in game, we get to hope Gonzaga might knock off Houston.
We get a potential matchup with Kentucky, who isn't very good at defense... and we get Tennessee as a 2, who the players know we can hang with.
Wow, no complaints from me.
Edit: Now we just need the good team to show up...

For once, the draw is favorable for us. Making up for the Loyola and Houston draws of tournaments past
They had the 4th best profile overall. They also scheduled nobody in the non-conference, which shown by the inclusion of UNC is important to this committee.
