Barring a collapse during our last few weeks, this looks like our 2 most likely scenarios. Lunardi currently has us as the South 1 seed, with the 2 first games played in Raleigh and the regional in Louisville. Villanova is currently the projected East 1 seed, but we've also been projected as the 2 in that region. Villanova plays in a relatively weak conference, so it's hard to see them losing control of that spot.
Which would be more favorable? I would hate to be a 1 seed and be stuck with a team like Maryland or Oklahoma as our 2, vs being a 2 but getting Villanova as our 1, who looks to be the weakest of the perceived elite teams this year. Even as a 2 seed, our first two games would likely be in Raleigh, but the only risk would be a potential matchup in the Elite 8 vs Nova in Philly, essentially a home game for them. Which scenario to you see as more favorable?
