Bracketology 2011 edition

Post by CameronBornAndBred » December 15th, 2011, 2:23 pm

This of course is way too early to think about, but it's fun to follow through the season as the pundits constantly change their mind about who is going where. Joe Lunardi has his first bracket out, and he sends us to Greensboro (in East) with a one and the heels to Greensboro (in South) with a two.
Virginia and Florida State fill out the ACC's contributions, while Stanford and Harvard are welcomed to the dance with a six and seven seed.
The heels are put up against Davidson, which could actually be a great first round game.
If the heels win the first round, then they could face Tommy Amaker in the second round, and that would also be fun to watch.

Actually he has us as #1 in the West, which excites me except the West Regional is in Phoenix, which is a long way from Seattle. I wish the regional was going to be at the Rose Garden in Portland or Key Arena in Seattle.

Sports Illustrated's Andy Glockner posts his first projections. He also gives Duke a one and the heels a two. It's interesting to me that after being adorned with preseason #1 rankings by so many, that now two of the prominent pundits have pegged unc with a 2 seed in March. Of course there is a whole lot of season left, but I wonder what has changed their mind so much to put us ahead of the baby blues.

We played MIss. Val. State in the first round in 1986. It was a close game. :-ss

I noticed I misspelled the title of this thread, but I've fixed it. How the hell can I leave out the "K" on a Duke site? #:-s
