What's the one team you don't want to see in the 8/9 game in our region? Obviously as a top seed we should be able to beat any of the 8/9 seeds but we all know that hasn't been the case recently.
I wouldn't be thrilled to see Wichita St and I don't love the idea of a rematch with city rivals like St Joe's or Temple but I think the team that would give me the most heartburn is Syracuse. Too much coaching familiarity, zone D combined with our sometimes dreadful 3-pt shooting and a Brooklyn venue that might feel like a road game with all the Orange fans in NYC.
