8/9 seed would mean either Dayton or Gonzaga in the 2nd round if they win (if KU and Baylor stay on the 1 line, which Baylor may not if they don't get to the Big 12 title game).

Dayton and Gonzaga are almost mirror images in efficiencies (great offenses, pretty good defenses). I'm not sure which one that I would rather play. Dayton is more athletic, but the Zags are more tactical.

As for Baylor, I think they stay on the 1-line if win one game and if FSU or Nova don't win their conference tournaments. Those are the only teams I could see sneaking up to the 1-line. I think San Diego State stays as a 2 out west.

Everyone always states that don't want to be on the 8/9 line, but there isn't much difference between playing a #2 as a 7/10. And if you are a #10, it means you are viewed as a weaker team.

Especially this year. Outside of KU, I don't see a big difference in the top 8 teams that make the #1s more frightening.

Gonzaga would beat our butts. Terrible, TERRIBLE matchup for us.

Rather have Dayton than Gonzaga. Matchups are a little better & their players haven't been put in that position of "supposed" to get to the FF before.

That's a fair point. The Zags certainly have experience. As MJ eluded above, #1 and #2 seeds this year just don't scare me as much. I'm not saying we would beat any of them, but outside of KU, I could see at least one of the #1 seeds losing before the second weekend. If there was ever a time to be an 8/9 or 7/10....I really think this is the year. There just doesn't appear to be that much separation up and down the bracket.....imo.
