New Mexico St (in Buffalo)

[Marat]

Good ?

 

[shizzle787]

Yes. Very. They are overseeded and always lose in the first round.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

They are actually very good. Don’t love it.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Not according to Clark Kellogg. Says they're very dangerous, a really top flight lead guard.

 

[UCfor3]

Fine. Next 2 rounds. Yikes. Looks like a Thursday afternoon game perhaps. Yuck.

Lets get ready to go to Buffalo.

 

[Stinger92860]

I like this bracket for us. West has been very kind to us.

 

[Hi-Low]

One at a time...glad in Buffalo. All we know is New Mexico St is first game and like our chances.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

If we are going to make a run, might as well do it against Gonzaga and Duke.

First up though - NMSU

I like it, there was no truly easy draw as a 5 seed.

 

[UncleSpliff]

Didn’t we absolutely lay the wood to them in the early rounds in 1999??

The duality of man.

Wish it was a different 12 seed...NMSU is under ranked. Gonna be a difficult game but im excited to be in the dance for the 2nd year in a row.

I feel like 12 seeds would be 5 seeds if they were in different conferences.

Would love to see Vermont in the 2nd game.

 

[UconnFanDC]

They are a very experienced team. Not a team to sleep on.

 

[navery12]

They have Teddy Allen who transferred from WVU and Nebraska who will be tough. But I like our chances with Martin and Jackson to defend him

Wrong New Mexico team.

 

[AntG168]

Houston got a rough 5 seed draw

 

[imno1]

Well I was buffaloed in Buffalo

 

[HuskyHawk]

Couldn’t be much better than this draw from what I can tell.

 

[UConnStats]

This is a great draw. They recently lost to 339th Chicago St. Beats the hell out of playing Michigan out of a play in.

 

[shizzle787]

I like it, there was no truly easy draw as a 5 seed.

This 5/12 matchup was about as kind as we could have gotten.

 

[Leebo]

Looks like they also have rebounding as a strength.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I like it, there was no truly easy draw as a 5 seed.

A team that's ~80 in the computer rankings and whose best win, by far, is Davidson, and has played basically nobody worth a damn otherwise, is about as good as we could have hoped for.
