So where does Michigan end up in the bracket?

Whether UNC or MSU is the 1 seed in the Midwest, I think the other one gets the 2 seed there.  Tennessee gets the 2 seed in the South, probably with Virginia.  The question is whether Michigan goes to the East in Duke's regional or West into Gonzaga's.   

There's also a chance that Virginia stays as the #1 seed, which they have earned based on their resume.  3 losses, twice to Duke and once to Florida State, who is probably a 3 seed.  Virginia is also, I think, #1 in every one of the committee's metrics.  I wouldn't mind going to the East to face Virginia.

If we are paired with Gonzaga, the 3 seed should be Florida State.  If we go elsewhere, it should be LSU, since they can't go to a region with Tennessee or Kentucky.

Where we meet a team like Minnesota or Iowa? Gotcha. Bunch of whiney little bitches. 3 losses to teams not named MSU and we got the best of every one of them before the year was up. MSU might be the best team in the nation right now. Which means we are 3 minutes of poor shot selections away from being right there with them.

We should be a 3. We are not a 2 and don’t deserve it. We will likely get a murderers row region and we deserve it.

No result in the tourney would surprise me. Could see us losing to a 15 or 14 seed in round one if a team gets hot from outside and our offense goes cold. Could also see us leaning on our defense and grinding down teams and making a solid run.

Maryland is in the bottom half of Duke's regional.  That should mean that we go elsewhere.

EDIT: Ha ha, MSU gets Duke.  Also, 3 B1G teams in the bottom half of one bracket?  WTF committee?

Sparty gets rewarded by having to face the #1 1-seed Duke.

I almost feel sorry for them.  Almost.

HA HA HA HA HA

They got to celebrate for like 5 minutes.

Completely ridiculous job by the committee.  I can understand having two B1G teams meeting in the Sweet 16 if it's unavoidable, but Minnesota should be somewhere else.  That's just dumb.
