As the tourney approaches, I'm beginning to think that it's really not that important to get a #1 seed. There's probably 6-7 teams in the running for #1 seeds - Duke, UNC, UCLA, Kansas, TX, TN, and Memphis. I think what's really important for us is getting favorable matchups. We really don't want to face athletic teams with a low-post scoring threat. The worst matchup for us would probably be UCLA, then Kansas. We can't face UNC in the regionals, thanks God. Even if we were a 1-seed, it would be tough if we had to face teams like this. On the other hand, being a 2-seed wouldn't be so bad if we drew a team like TN or TX. I think we can match up with certain teams that look and play like us, more guard-oriented teams.
Of course being a 1-seed, staying in NC, and drawing a really weak 2-seed would be ideal. But the 1-seed with a bad draw might be worse than a 2-seed in a easier region. Besides, we've failed to take advantage of 1-seeds plenty of times lately.
Is that confusing enough for everyone?
Josh has started his training to earn an athletic scholarship to Duke. I don't see how he can go there otherwise. :)

Brian - Little Josh is definitely a mini version of you. He totally looks like you! You were pretty brave to leave him in his room during the cruise! Glad you had fun though - I've re-thought the whole vacationing with little ones - we went to St. Thomas last fall and had a blast!
