The article brings up a good point of discussion. If you are a #1 seed, you may play a #4 seed. If you are a #2 seed you may play a #3 seed. For my eyeballs, Kentucky and Virginia are the only mismatches out there for us. Some may argue that our transition game may work against Kentucky who has a great defense or Virginia may have an off shooting night even though they play great defense. Yet, if we are a #1 seed, we can get to the final four without meeting either of them. Now if we are a #2 or #3 seed, we can go quite a ways before we meet them. Just do not want a #4 seed and have to play a #1 seed unless someone else than the Wildcats or Virgina. However, the Zags or Duke would be okay. I feel other than the top two teams, we can play any of the others successfully. Do not want to have to play the eventual national champions again like in the past. Are there any other teams you wish to avoid?

Wisconsin. I don't know how well we would match up with Kaminsky (though McKay may be better suited to handle his inside outside game than most). Dude is a pro. They also have shooters all over, so I would worry about helping inside.
