But we got such a hard regional!!!

ok, fella, look at it this way, in terms of RPI....

In these projections, look at who each national seed has to compete with for a spot in Omaha (RPI numbers)....

(1) F$U (RPI #1) -- Ark (12) and UCF (20).

(2) Baylor (RPI #3) -- Stan (8) and Gonzaga (30)

(3) Purdue (RPI #5) -- Florida (2) and Miami (19)

(4) UK (RPI #10) -- NCSU (15) and App State (24)

(5) LSU (RPI #7) -- UCLA (4) and Arizona (18)

(6) S.Carolina (RPI #9) -- UNC (6) and ECU (22)

(7) Rice (RPI #11) -- UVA (14) and A&M (17)

(8) Oregon (RPI #16) -- CSUF (13) and NMSU (21)


So, besides Purdue, LSU would have the highest combined RPIs to deal with if looking at the top 2 in each Supers pairings.

I doubt these pairings wind up looking much like the actuals.
