Absolutely no excuse for getting to the second weekend

[Alieberman]

No Grand Canyon.

Incorrect they are in

Ghost of Lute.
2 teams at the top we’ve already played.
Caleb vs his old school?

I love your low expectations for us.

Meant not playing them first.

[SCCats]

Salt Lake seems really good.

[Beachcat97]

Actually, I'm with azcat49 on this.

This is as favorable of a path to the S16 we've had in recent years, and we know that we are among the best teams in the country when playing well. If our guys show up, we should get to the second weekend.

[AZCatGirl]

It's a shame Wazzu got fucked in their last year in a power conference. Honestly don't get why the committee is shitting on them so bad. Sweeping us means nothing?!

[azgreg]

[MrKyle]

One of best draws we’ve had in awhile - let’s hope the good AZ team shows up and we’ve got a good chance to go deep!

[EastCoastCat]

Besides UCONN and Marquette the big east sucked more than the Pac.

[g32knights]

Not saying anything this year about how far we should go after last year. One game at a time.

[MrKyle]

Looks like we were the #2 2 seed… so those losses didn’t hurt much

I'm kinda amazed we got such a favorable draw. I was expecting to be punished for dropping some games we shouldn't have.

[Alieberman]

Can't blame our draw for anything.

It's now 100% about our guard play

Yep.

[AZCatGirl]

Do we have a bracket game going anywhere?

Easy path for North Carolina to get to the FF. They could literally sleep walk to Phoenix.

[AZCatGirl]

Going to laugh so hard if UNC is the first 1 seed to fall.

[Alieberman]

I could get ours going again

Sure looks like the committee rewarded us for our OOC schedule and then they busted on Iowa St for their easy schedule.

How about UConn having to go through FAU then the SEC champs then the Big 12 champs if it goes chalk

[Captain Obvious]

I'm deciding how much I want to put down on Long Beach State. I regret not doing the same last year with Princeton. Could have really cleaned up. Take my winnings and buy more Bitcoin. Or wait for a market crash and buy the dip.

Put everything you have on them including any devices you use to post here.

CO, how about telling us which team you're actually a fan of. Don't be shy.

I'm guessing ASU.

[KaibabKat]

A #2 seed means we are deemed to be one of the best eight teams in the country. Making the. Elite Eight will be meeting expectations. A Final Four, or better, and we exceed expectations. A sweet sixteen, or less, means we have not played up to expectations. Let the games begin.

I love our path this year. No excuses. Guards can’t get their asses kicked like Tommy said

You're a cool guy Beach Cat so I'll come clean. I'm a North Carolina fan but I do root for U of A as well. ASU? Not a chance. Can't stand them. I did my undergrad at UNC so you can't blame me. U of A just annoys me because they're always good but they always seem to fall flat this time of year. Honestly I'd love to see U of A get to the Final Four or beyond. That's any year. Unless they're playing UNC.

Pretty clear admission that you had no interest here except trolling. Might be a good time to quit being a dick and start making some constructive conversation.

Welcome aboard!

[AZCatGirl]

Love the time. Too late in the day and we'll be nervous all day. This way I have a chance of being productive after as long as we win.

[UAEebs86]

Also, no casinos in SLC.

[AZCatGirl]

Also shoutout to the women making it in! They're in a play in game against Auburn, but they made it!

[Winger]

Easy path:

Best coach in the history of the tournament possibly in round 2.

The best 5-seed and, of lesser import, if not the best 12-seed #2 behind McNeese St, in round 3.

Leaving Arizona aside, Clemson is the best 6- in the field, Alabama has the best offense in the country (tho admittedly maybe the worst defense in the tournament lol), and Baylor finished behind only Houston and Iowa St in the B12.

Seems legit to me.

So let's be constructive by calling people names and being a hypocrite like you? No thanks. The world has enough people like you already. Congrats!

You don’t understand?

There are 2 possible opponents for UNC round 2, one of whom is coached by the best NCAAT coach in history, as measured by performance according to seed expectation.

Had no clue you were talking about UNC.

[TheCat]

I gotta say: I'd rather have UNC in our region than Purdue, UConn or Houston. It's right there for us if this team can get its shit together.

Would have preferred Purdue. I think we can hang with their guards better than we did earlier. UNC will be a particularly difficult match up at center who can shoot from the outside. Also know how tough Houston can be but they are really offensively challenged. UNC wont be slowing it down though.

[AZCatGirl]

There's going to be so many upsets this year who knows how many 1 seeds will even make it to the Elite 8. We could have a super wacky Final 4 that no one guessed.

[CalStateTempe]

Unc sucks. Glad we’re in their bracket

That is because I am new to the board and it’s my screwup. I thought Captain Obvious, a UNC fan, was saying the Heels could sleepwalk top the Final Four. Imo their route is not that easy, leaving Arizona completely out of it, so I responded accordingly.

New format for me and I must have mis-attached a name to a post.

My fault and I am sorry Eebs.

Captain Obvious is a troll and just wants to take shots at us. I doubt he's a fan of anyone except hating us.

You are allowed 1 mistake here, Winger.
