The Deuce: The teams you play in the S16/E8 are going to be good, not saying I would pick us to beat them…

but I just don’t think it’s that difficult of a draw. And the Houston location isn’t great but I also think we overstate how much that matters in these settings. Especially in a S16 game where 4 fanbases have ticket allotments, only becomes a full blown home court advantage once you get to the Elite 8.

I know that it feels like a bit of a pipe dream to talk about Final Four path given how the team has looked recently, but if that is the ultimate goal, we did end up in the region with by far the weakest 1 seed.

Yes Houston is tough as a 2 seed, but I think Iowa State is better than them and I wouldn’t have confidence going against Hurley either.

Combined with our 6 seed draw missing their star player, it’s as good of a draw as we could hope for once we blew our chance at a 2 seed path.

I’m irritated at myself for being disappointed at a 3 seed, so I’m done with it. Stupid perspective.

Let’s get excited about seeing our name high up on the brackets. One of the best days of the year!
