  There is still much to occur but Marquette could not get a worse bracket than this one. Belmont is the one team I don't want to face as a #14 seed, Murray State as a #6 seed and we would meet in the second round. Also North Carolina as the one, yikes.

  Its early but in past seasons we have entered the tourney with a bit of a chip on our shoulder being a #5 seed and most prognosticators picking the #12 seed to beat us whether it was Xavier or Utah St.

  Who as the current #6 seeds, per Joes bracket would we want to have a possible 2nd round match-up with?

We haven't been a #5 seed since 2002, and Xavier was the #6 last year while we were the #11 people picked for the upset over Xavier.

With the current #6 seeds Lunardi has, Vandy would be the one I would least like to see (for obvious reasons) but I doubt we would face them that early seeing as we already played this year.  ND likewise probably wouldn't be in our bracket, but they are the team I would least like to see after Vandy although I think we handle them fairly easily with Davante on a neutral court.  The other #6's Murray St. and St. Mary's I think we would run out of the gym.

Regardless, we won't have to worry about #6 seeds after we take the Big East tournament championship and get the #2 seed out West.  No current #7 seed is scary at all.

I've pretty much resigned myself to the nearly certain possibility that MU will be the 2-seed in Phoenix or the 3-seed in St. Louis.  Either way, each path has advantages and disadvantages.

I will say that a match-up with Mississippi St. scares me. Moultrie and Sidney are both over 6'10"...I think that might be the worst match-up possible.

Agreed. That'd suck. I don't think that is a huge concern, however as I doubt they get an 11 seed and definitely won't be a 6. They could be a 10, however, if we sneak into the last 2 seed.
