Which potential 1st round matchups are good/bad for us?

[WxHog]

Looking at current bracketology sites, it seems that the more likely teams we would face are:

St. Mary's
St. Bonaventure
Kansas State
Arizona State
NC State
Florida State
Butler
Providence
Middle TN

Other possibilities, if we are in 8-9 game:
Rhode Island
Creighton
Virginia Tech

Other possibilities, if we are a 6 seed:
Texas
USC
UCLA
Baylor
Marquette
Syracuse

Which of these teams jump out to you as a good or bad matchup to us?

Note: I intentionally left Oklahoma out. Committee will avoid an earlier season re-match if at all possible.

Any of them that have a really good PG or a pair of good guards that can shoot, or worse yet a good pg and a 3 that can shoot the 3.

[The_Iceman]

I'd rather play one of the small school teams that would not be used to our style of play.

[GoHogs1091]

These 3 would probably not be good match-ups.

Florida State   Leonard Hamilton would probably out-coach Anderson.

Virginia Tech   Very athletic. 

Syracuse (if they get in)   Terrible coaching match-up that would heavily favor Syracuse.  Boeheim would have his team ready for our outdated slogan based (Fastest 40 Minutes) system, and it would not be good for our stand-around offense to have to face his tough 2-3 defense.

I wouldn't worry too much if we faced UCLA.  UCA came very close to beating them early in the season (UCA lost to them in Overtime).

I have watched all of these teams this year. 

3 Worst Matchups (Least Worst to Worst)
3. Florida State
2. Virginia Tech
1. Butler

3 Best Matchups:
3. Kansas State
2. UCLA
1. Marquette (BY A WIDE GAP)

To be honest if we stay away from Mid. Tennessee and the 3 worst matchups we should be fine.  St. Bonny is hot though, but they don't have the guard play that beats Arkansas.

I remember playing Kansas State several times and coming up short in 80, 81 when they had Blackman.

I would rather play a P5 bubble team than a mid-major that is #2 or #3 in their league.

The talent disparity isn't that great and those solid mid-major teams tend to play good fundamental basketball.

Also, Dude. Blackman is not the preferred nomenclature. African American, please.

Relax, he's graduated I think.

St Mary's.  Watching them against byu they looked way terrible. Just one game that i watched though so im sure they are decent but they play in the wcc.

I don't know what you are so concerned about. Miss St isn't going to be in the tournament

They're a pretty good team. They were top 10 at one point this season if I'm not mistaken?
