Oklahoma is the team that intrigues me the most. Do we have anyone who could “Kramer” (ala Steph Curry) Trae Young? It doesn’t seem so, although Nojel might give him some trouble until he fouled out (in probably <10 min on the floor).
I wouldn’t want to play the Sooners. We can hang with anyone if we shoot our averages against them.
 
Want
Kansas Yes, theyre beatable this year, and we need revenge.
ND beat them to get to sweet 16 would be nice.
Asu, beat an overrated team

Az dont need to play them again
Msu
Duke

There is nobody out there like having to play Kansas in KC. I would least like to see Duke. For the sake of the game I think MSU and Oklahoma would be the next scariest. A lot of overrated teams this year just because somebody has to be ranked high. Arizona or Arizona State could end up being a one seed just because of their schedule, that would be my one seed of choice. In that next tier is AM, Wichita State, WVU, Virginia, and Xavier. There isn't a single one of those teams that has me afraid to play them. I would say that Xavier and Wichita are the ones I would rather face in that group. Both criminally overrated. I love TCU so I wouldn't want to play them because I would have to root against them, but they are not a top 10 team. Very good and may win the Big 12, but aren't super scary.

I think Purdue makes it's way onto a lot of other teams list of who they don't want to play. The computers love Purdue and unless they have a rough night shooting, they can beat anybody in the country.

So 3 I don't want to see: Duke, MSU, Ok
3 I do want to see: Xavier, Whichita, and Arizona/Az State (whichever finds their way into the one seed).

Don't:
1. Duke - they always get the ref calls
2. Arizona - they are starting to get it together, their key player returned, and will have revenge on their mind
3. Kentucky - their talent may come together and they score in bunches.
4. Butler. because of our history against them.

Want to play:
1.. Villanova . I believe we can beat them.
2. Xavier - vastly over rated
3. Gonzaga or Wichita St neither team has really beaten anybody.
4. MSU - to be the best, we must beat the best. and they say no team can beat Purdue three times in one year.
 
Don't want to see:
  • Duke
  • Arizona (don't want a motivated, focus AZ in a rematch)
  • UNC
  • MSU - I think with rebounding being our nemesis and their absolute strength, we'll have difficulty with them. They also shoot it better than you think.
I think on a given night, we can beat other teams.
 
I don’t really want any part of Texas A&M. I think they’d kill us with offensive rebounds

Wisconsin beat Purdue 3x in 2000. On the way to the final 4. Still sticks in my craw cause I always thought dick Bennett was smug.
 
Would be ok playing:
- Villanova
- Gonzaga
- Texas A&M

Would not want to play:
- Duke
- Xavier
- Kansas
