I've seen a bit of Florida St. this year. It's mostly Bianca Jackson, a speedy guard and Morgan Jones, a lanky wing. They have some former McDs AA that haven't really done much--Puisis and Baldwin.

Looks like they only shoot 32% from 3 but opponents shoot 30%. Maybe good defense? They also average 7 steals per game so that may be an issue for us. Scoring is pretty balanced among the starters so no individual player lights you up. OK matchup for the first game, win that and the second game is tough. |

FSU is a good defensive squad, if we take care of the ball and knock down our shots, we should get the win. Need Jones to play well.

FWIW, Charlie Creme's bracketology got just 2 of 32 first round matchups correct.
So I guess we should disregard what bracketologies predict about the first round.
Most of Creme's seedings were close to the final seedings.

Too many moving parts to expect that to be accurate. Every change causes many other changes down the line. Mostly just entertainment. |

It's time for revenge.
Lost to FSU in Sydney's last game for the Beavs in the Stockton Regional as Syd went 0-10 from beyond the arc.
Lost to S.C. in the Seattle Regional a few years before that.

Those early losses, without TVO, really hurt our seeding. Total late collapse, without PP, didn't hurt Oregon much. Two teams clearly not seeded according to how good they were in the final weeks of the season. I'd love us playing as a 6 instead of an 8.  |

No matter how many games they lost, it was never reflected in their NET ranking, their place in the polls, or their seeding. What in the world was going on with that? 0-6 against the top 3 in the Pac 12, 1-8 against the top 4, no good OOC wins, only good win was against OSU in December when the Beavs stunk. Maybe you can give them a bit of credit for 2 wins against Washington St., who were barely over .500 this year but did manage to beat Arizona and UCLA, something the Ducks couldn't manage. Their entire season was smoke and mirrors.
Some other bizarre seeding, Texas a #6 based on pretty much nothing, Georgia Tech a #5 also based on nothing.

Oregon State's first game is Sunday March 21, 4:30pm Pacific time on ESPN2 (against Florida State)
Should OSU win, their second game would be Tuesday March 23, vs. South Carolina. Time not yet set.

How about Wake Forest, in with a 12-12 record? |

How about Wake Forest, in with a 12-12 record? ACC got a bunch of bubble teams in. I didn't pay much attention, but after NC State and Louisville there was a big drop off.
I guess we can't complain too much. 12-11 Washington St. got in. Usually Pac 12 bubble teams miss the cut. Maybe Colorado losing to Washington in the Pac 12 Tourney killed the Buffs chances of an at large.
