Ideal Bracket Match-ups


I was looking at bracketology on ESPN and was just curious what #2 and #3 seed teams people would rather avoid? For a while we were the #1 in a bracket with Tennessee as the #2 which seemed like a tough matchup. Currently we're projected to have Kansas St. and Gonzaga as the #2 and #3 respectively. Duke is also the #5 and something about playing a team you've already beat again makes me nervous even though we handily dismantled Duke and Gonzaga. Kansas St. looks pretty good but is only 26th on Kenpom.

Alabama is another team I wouldn't want to see unless we made the final 4. They play very fast tempo which could be difficult to adjust to, although they aren't great at not fouling which theoretically would favor Purdue. Houston is another high seeded team I think we could handle.

I know it's early and there's no gaurantee we're a #1 seed come tournament time, just kind of curious what teams you would rather not face and which teams you think we would beat.
