I embarrassed to admit that I'm actually optimistic about how this bracket shook out.

Cincy - well, for an 11 seed, we could've drawn a hell of a lot worse team than Cincy. They play a similar style as we do and I still don't think there's any team in the country that can beat us at our own game if we play it right. Alas, Mizzou hasn't played the press or run well for a month. That said, Mizzou's absolutely capable of beating these guys.

UConn - Really? You folks really want to just write off a game against a team that just played 5 games in 5 nights? Especially with the style we play? Besides, I must be the only guy in the country not lining up to suck off the Big East. Has anyone considered the fact that maybe these guys are feeding their own ratings by beating each other? Maybe the whole damn conference is mediocre. For some reason, I get the feeling we'll see a Big East bloodbath by the Sweet 16 with only 3 or 4 of them making it through.

And if you want to go completely crazy, I think we got the 2nd most beatable 2 seed in the bracket (Really? Florida? C'mon...) and even the most beatable 1 seed.

It's the tourney - it's supposed to be hard. That said, I'm not going to quit on this team yet. Sure, they're probably going to bow out early, they've looked horrid lately. But they're a strange team to play and if they're hitting jumpers, they can run you out of the gym.

I'll take the bracket we got. And look on the bright side, at least we didn't get the bracket that poor Kansas got, right? I mean afterall, the NCAA selection committee has it out for KU every season and seeks to punish them by loading up their run with the likes of Northern Iowa, etc....

Brutal; the poor bastards.
