NCAA Tournament #1 Seeds
March Madness is great so I'm going to write about it again. There's nothing better in sports at all...... if you ask me. With conference tournaments wrapping up for mid-majors and Big 6 conferences beginning their tourneys later this week, there are a number of NCAA seeds at stake and up for grabs. As of now, Joe Lunardi has the number one seeds being Kentucky, Syracuse, UNC and Kansas. These seeds could change as easily as they could stay the same. There is a significant drop off in talent from the 1 to 2 seeds, but that's not saying they're capable of knocking out one or multiple of the one seeded foes. Missouri beat Kansas twice already this season, so one more shouldn't be anything Frank Haith and his guard heavy line up is scared of. In fact, Kansas is probably a lot more worried because of the match up problems Missouri poses. Kentucky is really the only seed that will remain the same know matter what happens. Their 30-1 record leaves little room for discussion that they don't deserve the overall #1 seed. Syracuse is in the Big East, which is why they'll need to be careful in the conference tournament. In the Big East, multiple teams can play with anyone in the country. Marquette, UCONN (though not as of late), Notre Dame and West Virginia all have solid line ups with star players leading the way. As for North Carolina, they earned their seed this past weekend by throttling dook (that's not a typo I'm just a UNC fan) in nearly every aspect of the game. However, dook thrives in the ACC Tournament and tends to care about it more than any other team in the league. UNC Coach Roy Williams regards it as some what as an annoyance before the real tournament begins. But nevertheless, UNC must come prepared to fight if they want to hold on to the #1 seed, because dook is right behind them waiting to strike.
