March 13, 20179 yr Definitely depends on which UofL team shows up. They could easily lose to Michigan, or blow them out. It's not a knock on UofL, just more about how well Michigan is playing right now. They got screwed with having to play them second round. UofL could easily wind up going on a Final Four run but having to play one of the hottest teams in the country right now in the second round would really suck if I were a Louisville fan.
March 13, 20179 yr I would be one of the first to say it it if they did get an easy draw. But honestly they got hosed. Should have had UNC's 1 seed. No they shouldn't have. The committee member explained it perfectly. Said this whole seeding started Wednesday. Duke was a 4 seed Wed. And made the biggest jump in the entire bracket. They didn't get a 1 because they would have had to jump a team that won both their conference AND Conference tournament which I believe he was referring to UK. UK won all their games since the NCAA committee released their top 16 teams last month and to have Duke jump over UK would not have been fair at all when it came to seedings.
March 13, 20179 yr Other that staying close to home the first round the committee did Duke no favors this year for sure. Remember, they do not look at match-ups for tickets or TV ratings - they just seed how the teams records dictate...yeah, right. But if Duke were to lose to SC, even with the game in SC, then we may need to turn in our "ACC is better than SEC" cards. False.

Michigan has played well this weekend but they honestly do not scare me at all.

March 13, 20179 yr Michigan has played well this weekend but they honestly do not scare me at all. If the game was tomorrow I think you would probably be scared. They may come back to being who they really are by this weekend. But Michigan can light it up and Louisville holds everyone under 70 points. Should be a great matchup nonetheless.
March 13, 20179 yr Louisville and Kentukcy will both be on CBS. I found the times along with the channel the games will be on here is the link: College Sports: March Madness: Game times, TV schedule for the NCAA tournament's earliest games | SportsDay
