    IU could be a tough draw for UNC
    Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.

    You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner

    You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke

    Wow. IU is an 8 seed. Bad, bad sign for the Big 10. Could be tough for UNC.

    Tennessee as the two seed...also could be trouble.

    Loaded bracket. UNC has challengers in UT, Louisville, Washington St, and Notre Dame with a dangerous 8/9 with either IU or the Hogs.

    The heels can commence their whining.

    Q: Can Dan Dakich do it again?

    A. No.

    Surprisingly tough draw at the #2 and #3 for UNC, though. No way did I think Tennessee would fall to #8 on the S-curve. Trying to balance out the benefits of Charlotte?

    That has to be the explanation.

    Suprisingly tough for the #1 #1 seed with UNC pottentialy playing Tennessee or Loiusville. I like Winthrop over WSU.

    I'm with Ben63, that Washington State-Winthrop game screams upset. I also think Tennessee might struggle with Butler in the 2nd round; no team is better at getting more athletic teams to play their tempo than Butler. If the Bulldogs can force Tennessee into a half court game, the Vols might find themselves in hot water.

    UNC doesn't exactly have an easy road either. Most likely they face Indiana in the 2nd round, then they'll have to be a Louisville or Tennessee team.

    This is DJ White's last tournament and most likely Eric Gordon's only tournament. Regardless of how they feel about their coach, they're going to playing as hard as possible.

    The Hogs!

    If the Hogs make it past IU, will you join me in cheering for them?!

    Arkansas has the interior players to give Hansbrough trouble, but their guard play is inconsistent. When they play together they can be tough (Vandy and TN games in SEC tourney). Unfortunately they have a couple of players who like to be the man when things get out of hand, resulting in poor slot selection. I won't mention Gary Ervin by name. If AR ends up playing UNC, I would expect Lawson to be the key player.

    Player's only meeting

    Hopefully we hear DJ White calls one of these suckers this week and he and Gordon put the team on their shoulders. I'd love to see unc go down early.

    Tennessee is so undisciplined but for one game, they can play great. I dont know about WSU or Louisville though. Those teams could both get upset early and I wouldnt be suprised.

    I thought Butler's seed was a bit low, considered they were top 10/15 for a good chunk of the year. I guess they didn't have many big wins.

    The committee didn't have much of a choice but to stick UNC with Tenn.

    They were too afraid to put GTown in based on last year, and didn't want to put us in because...well, you know.

    That left Texas and Tennessee. No brainer.
