Virginia is down a man in Hunter and may face Kentucky or Arizona in a sweet sixteen match up-

Kansas is down a man right now, their biggest man, 7 footer Udoka Azubuike, but they didn't need him to win the Big-12 Tournament- and Self says he could be used in an emergency-

Villanova may have to go up against VaTech who has knocked off Virginia, UNC, Clemson, and Duke this season-

Xavier is getting no Love after losing twice to Nova in blowouts, but has a ton of talent in Seniors Trevon Bluiett and JP Macura-

Of those four I'd say Kansas because they are so thin at center

I would say Xavier based on talent of the team alone. However, I think Virginia has the toughest matchup the fastest. Villanova doesn't have too difficult of a game until the Final Four, Kansas not until Elite Eight against Duke/Michigan State. Virginia and Xavier both should have a difficult Sweet 16 matchup, but I think Arizona/UK is harder than Gonzaga/OSU. And now they lose a key player too? So it could actually be Virginia.

Hmmmmm

X was an elite 8 team last year and has basically that same squad plus a few key players

Nova owns them head to head tho.

If my Sun Devils can beat X-Men than anybody can. We also beat KU but I think KU will run deep.

Kansas will be threatened most in the first round. I think Villanova has the toughest 2nd round game. And UVA has the toughest Sweet 16 matchup. But Xavier is the weakest overall team.

Hall and NCstate pose bigger issues for Kansas then either of those other two special teams pose for Nova

I want to say Xavier, but they have made the sweet 16 in 4 out of the 7 appearances in the tourney under Mack. The guy is a he'll of a coach.

I agree that Seton Hall is probably the best 8/9 seed and will pose problems for KU, especially without Azibuke, but the game is in Wichita...

If Willard doesn’t coach SHu could be a big issue anencephaly NcState could be tough too

VT and Bama are good but they play a type of game that Nova wants so unless VT blacks out I just don’t like their chances at all

Ivy League schools scare me.

The don't win that many, but damn if they don't give everybody a tough game.
Probably because they actually have disciplined offenses that they execute the
proper way.

I don't think Kansas wants to overlook Penn, especially with their big man out,.
