8 seed against Siena.
Thought we'd get a higher seed but I'm not complaining. |

Ouch.......

Up against Louisville in the 2nd round is tough, but playing in Dayton is great!

Tough draw...
Siena will be tough. |

not ouch....this is a great first round match-up for the Bucks. I was expecting an 8-9 match-up with the likes of a BC, USC, etc...
We get Sienna, in Dayton, where we will have a [censored]load of fans. We're more talented, and will have a home court edge. Unfortunately, if we win that game, we get the exact type of team we will struggle horribly with. A high pressure team, without a confident PG is scary. Louisville presses all agme, and puts a ton of pressure on your ball handlers...our biggest weakness. I just want a carck at them though.... |

We match up good against Louisville compared to any other #1 team by far. They cant shoot the ball that well and rely on dribble penetration to score. Their press is good but I dont mind Turner handling the ball against them. I think we have a good chance considering we will have a great crowd since it's in Dayton.

Mixed feelings about our seed. I thought we might get a 7, but that's not really a big deal. On the one hand, it's great that we basically get two home games (if we get to the second round), but Sienna is going to be a tough match up. I'd anticipated quite possibly making them a sweet 16 team. And then, if we get by them, we get to face probably the best team in the country, IMO.

Siena played a couple big names this year.
Lost by 14 to Tennessee in the Old Spice Classic. Lost by 9 to Oklahoma State Lost by 13 @ Pittsburgh Lost by 7 @ Kansas |

#5 Purdue faces a possible 4-5 matchup vs. Washington in Portland, Oregon.
Lots of respect for winning the B10 Tourney. |

Regardless, I just want a shot, and think our seeding is fair. Getting a first round game in Dayton is great, and huge benefit to the Bucks vs. Siena. If we are good enough to get Louisville, I'm not confident, but you never know...maybe they go cold, and Jeremie/PJ are goodenough to break the press. |

For sure. I'm certainly not counting game 1 as a win, just noting that a possible 2nd round match-up with #1 overall seed is tough.

VCU should have gotten a better draw in the first round, IMO. For non-college basketball enthusiasts though, Eric Maynor is a treat from VCU.
