I kind of think Georgetown should have been a 1 seed to begin with, I guess the problem with that is who do you bump out? I guess UNC. Both won their conferences and conference tourneys, but Gt was 13-3 while UNC was 11-5, and won 15 of 16 compared to UNC, who had just lost 4 games (2/3 NC State, 2/13 VT, 2/25 UMD, 3/1 GT). Anyway... now that we've seen the games and seen OSU needing a miraculous escape to get by Xavier, they'll be the team I nudge out instead. Also, this is still really hard because USC has maybe been the best in the tourney so far, so I don't mean to slight them, but how good do I think they are? Hard to say, even Pac-10 fans I talked too didn't think they were that great. 1) Georgetown 2) Florida 3) Kansas 4) UNC 5) Ohio State 6) Texas A&M 7) Pittsburgh 8) UCLA (that Indiana game gave me seizures) 9) Southern Illinois 10) Butler 11) UNLV 12) Southern Cal 13) Memphis 14) Oregon 15) Tennessee (sorry, but UVA shouldn't have been a 4 seed) 16) Vanderbilt Now watch my 16 beat my 1 this week.

I think they're becoming a very well-rounded team, and they are getting better every game. With Chism really maturing to give them an occasional threat in the paint, it balances the offense. And Ryan Childress has played very well off the bench - I think their weak link in the frontcourt is actually Duke Crews, who is my favorite of the bunch! Crews give them a different dimension - he's physical and tenacious in the paint, he fights for rebounds, finishes when he catches down low, and even shows some range and shooting ability in the Vols' system. Tenessee's backcourt is elite - Chris Lofton by himself is almost good enough to be considered one of the top 10 backcourts in the country. Add in the Smiths and Jordan Howell, they defend, shoot the three, and generally pressure you to your wit's end. Throw in a hustle guy like Dane Bradshaw, I think the Vols can match up with just about anybody. I have really taken a liking to them as they've matured this year, and I think they can win at least one more game in this tournament. Just my thoughts tho, the rest of you list is solid, I just wanted to gush about the Vols for a minute
Yeah, they're good, maybe I messed up but I think pretty highly of all the Sweet 16, so I didn't know what to do with them. And then I thought about how a not-that-great Virginia team took 'em to the wire and knocked them back a bit.
