Re-seeding the Sweet 16 (CBS Sports)

Interesting read on CBS Sports. (link for the full story)

Re-seeding the Sweet 16


1. Kentucky (Midwest)


2. Duke (South)


3. Arizona (West)


4. Wisconsin (West)


5. Gonzaga (South)


6. North Carolina (West)


7. Notre Dame (Midwest)


8. Oklahoma (East). Time to recognize the Sooners as a quality team with maybe the country's most overlooked coach. Only Eddie Sutton and OU's Lon Kruger have taken four programs to the Sweet 16. It's an odd stat, but a good one. This is one of the country's five best defensive teams. Buddy Hield -- did you see that block late in the Dayton game? -- leads the charge. OU got past Albany and Dayton.


9. Wichita State (Midwest)


10. Utah (South)


11. Michigan State (East). The Spartans got a good test from Georgia, then played their A game against Virginia. MSU's a hard 6-seed, not the hard 7 it received in the bracket. It's not a well-rounded team, but has Tom Izzo and offensive reliability in Travis Trice, something that seemed unlikely even a season ago. It's crazy, yet totally conceivable this team gets out of the East.


12. Louisville (East)


13. West Virginia (Midwest)


14. NC State (East)


15. Xavier (West)


16. UCLA (South)

was listening to a national sports radio program last night and he gave HIS "re-seeding" list for the 16 teams left....and he had OU at #15. Said MSU would beat OU handily. His reasoning? Because OU won two games over a 14 and 11 seed...."by only single digits". I'd say OU has not played a "great game" in the tourney yet (like MSU did in their last one)...and could certainly be bounced against MSU, but if OU can play an entire "A game"....I like our chances.
