I would say yes to Virginia Tech and NC State. I don't love a matchup with Texas. (they are physical and hard to score against although I think we can beat them). Ohio State would be a tough matchup (with how they press) if they fall to a #2 seed. I never want to play Uconn in the NCAA tourney unless it's in a Final 4.
If we are a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney and a #2 seed from the Pac12 can't be in our same bracket, it does narrow the potential matchups down to a handful of teams if the higher seeds win their matchups.
Agreed, there's not many teams that we would be matched up with if we ended up as a #1 seed and the committee is avoiding putting a conference foe in our region as the #2 seed.
The universe of possibilities at this point would be between Iowa, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Texas, N.C. State and UConn, barring an unexpected late season surge from another team.
I also like Va Tech and NC St. I also like Iowa. Even though Clark will get 30, we have such an advantage inside I don't think they can stop us. I think we can handle Texas without Harmon. I don't like our matchup against Ohio St because they have a wicked press that could be problematic.
