Other Games 24-25 Season

There is a bunch of big names teams projected as either 8/9 seeds right now. Oregon, Baylor, Gonzaga, Ohio State, St Mary’s, New Mexico, UCONN and West Virginia. Those all seem to be tougher than normal second round games for the 1 seeds. Right now Clemson is projected as a 7 seed on ESPN. I think they are better than that though.
Imagine being a 2 seed and Clemson is your 2nd round game. That’s a tough draw for a really solid seed to have. Have to think they will end more of 5/6 seed…
 
Personally, I don’t like Tennessee as a match up for Duke because of their style and how tournament games are called. Not that Duke would likely lose, just would like a different match up.

Duke is a matchup nightmare for Tennessee this season.

This Duke Team backs down from no team, they’ve lost a few games this season, but Duke has not gotten punked in any game this season and I am Confident they will not get punked at all the remainder of the season.

I cannot figure out Kentucky. They beat the teams they are supposed to lose to and lose to the teams they are supposed to beat. A 4 seed I guess but they have several top 10 wins so maybe a 3.
 
Georgia is on pace to score 8 points in a half. They score 4 points with under 10 minutes left. That has to be a modern day record low if it happens. They have been outscored 25-4 in the second half by A & M. Georgia was up 9 at halftime.

Injuries have hurt them, and they’re not a very good defensive team. But offensively, they can light up the scoreboard.

Think this is what the committee will reveal on the bracket reveal on Saturday on CBS, just my opinion:

South (Atlanta):
1) #1 Auburn
2) #7 Purdue
3) #15 Kentucky
4) #20 Michigan

West (San Francisco):
1) #3 Florida
2) #8 Texas A & M
3) #10 Iowa State
4) #17 Kansas

Midwest (Indianapolis):
1) #2 Alabama
2) #6 Houston
3) #11 Michigan State
4) #16 Wisconsin

East (Newark):
1) #4 Duke
2) #5 Tennessee
3) #12 Texas Tech
4) #9 St. John's
 
I may have to drink myself into oblivion if St. John's plays Duke in the sweet 16.

Chris,

I thought about that as I was typing out the East Region. St. John’s in Newark, I’d prefer to have a different 4 seed. Duke has to handle business the rest of the way and hope any combination of Auburn/Alabama/Florida experience a slide.

If the East Region I posted were to come to fruition it would be nicknamed “The Defensive Region”

Tennessee - #1 Team in Defensive Efficiency
St. John’s - #2 Team in Defensive Efficiency
Duke - #3 Team in Defensive Efficiency
