The topic of the hour and what is going to shape this tournament is what to do about UConn.
Up until a week ago this team was the No. 1 overall seed. Now they are a No. 2 seed after losing to PItt and in 6 overtimes?
This is going to get tricky for the committee. Pitt and Louisville are top seeds certainly. Add in UNC and there is one No. 1 left.
Where does that leave UConn? If the committee thinks UConn stumbled at the end and is a No. 2 seed, the question of the hour for everyone else is what region?
That is what I find the most interesting.
Assume they won't matchup UConn against Pitt or Ville. That leaves UNC as a possible elite 8 opponent. No way will the committee do that to Carolina. That is an incredible game to get to the final four.
UConn is either a No. 1 or No. 2 seed and Memphis is on the other side. That's how it will break. They are going to be tied to Memphis and likely have a weak 3 seed and a good 4 seed however they are slated.
The key here for the committee is to not destroy a bracket. UConn as a No. 2 seed will ruin the bracket unless the opposite one seed and three seed are soft. Any other scenario and it could destroy the balance of the tournament.
