Wanted to get a conversation going about the matchup, if for nothing else than whoever wins will shirley grab a #1 seed.. And the other probably a #2 seed. And if Xavier wins, BOTH could be #1 seeds.

I'll be honest.. I like Xavier's ball movement. Even though that Ron Baker look alike has scored a lot, very unselfish team. I'd say Xavier, while not the 5th best team in the. nation, is probably a top15 at least.
 
Had Xavier won, they probably would have also had to win the BE-T for a 1 seed. They are a 2, who if they don't win the BE-T now may drop to a 3.

Some 8/9 seeds are going to be very happy if things continue the way they have thus far this season.The selection committee is going to have a tough time taking care of Duke this year,they won't be able to figure out where to hide them from competition

Nova has a good coach but who have they played and beaten. Oklahoma destroyed them. Easy schedule and not a no. 1 seed!
 
They will protect Duke by giving them the 7 or 8 seed in a bracket with Nova as the 1 or 2 seed. That is how they will do it. Mark it down.
 
^^^^ Wow. I read that and realized you are right. That is exactly what they are going to do. Not to mention they will make this region the weakest of the tourney top to bottom.

And everyone will praise Coach K once again. This time for taking a 7 seed to the Final 4.

That may well be what they do but the 3,4,5 and 10 seeds will be what gives Duke the problem this year.It is not clear how good some of these mid level team really are.They can't hide them from everyone
