ask any coach in the country who would you rather play on a neutral court wash or wake -

look at the odds scott , they are telling you that i am correct

why is wake 9/2 to get out of their region and wash 10/1 , when both louisville and conn are 2/1 ??? the sharps are going to put their $$$ on better teams , this is professional $$$ that went onto wake it did not go onto wash


does anyone really believe Wash could win against UNC , even in Pullman????

Ultimately they decided the top team from the P10 was better than the 3rd team from the ACC. Are they probably wrong on that decision? Yeah, but I can at least understand where they are coming from. It was circumstance that got them bumped from 14 to 16 though, not the committee's fault.

Part of the reason that the odds on Wake winning their bracket is so good is that Louisville is a very beatable one seed. They lost to Western Kentucky, Minnesota, UNLV, and Notre Dame while going 16-2 in the Big East with the benefit of not having to play at Connecticut or at Pittsburgh which could easily be the difference between 16-2 and 14-4. As a Siena fan I hated getting a 9 seed (10 or 11 would have been much better) but am at least thrilled that they got matched up with the only 1 seed they could possibly beat. Sure it's a 5% chance they beat Louisville but that is better than the 0% chance against Pitt/NC/Conn who would murder them inside.

i watched wake push UNC and Duke around they are a top 10 team and for them to be anything other than a #3 or better is a joke , rpi rankings and all

Louisville in my opinion will be the first #1 seed out , i watched it with my own eyes no team took it to carolina like the did this year , they beat duke aslo whe the blue devils were #1 , they can beat louisville

Wake should probably stop worrying about Louisville anyways. Cleveland State is no pushover (see the win in the Carrier Dome) and Arizona could be a tough second round game.

I don't think they are , i am just projecting , the coach has them focused on 1 game at a time i'm sure

i just think that they will play with a chip on the shoulder , they stunk agaisnt MD and are fresh and will be ready to go in my opinion
