I 100% agree with avoiding Duke. Bagley and Carter are incredibly athletic and would blow by Kanter and O'Mara, not the best of match-ups to have, I also agree with the assessment of Virginia, they'd be a bit easier to get it going against since their forte is defense, and we have 9 different options (I mean literally everyone of the 9 guys we play regularly has scored 13 points or more in a game, that's ridiculous). Basically anybody with some athletic, quick bigs, I wouldn't love drawing too much. It'll be interesting to see how things shake out.

Lunardi's latest bracket would be a dream. Shitty #8/#9 teams. Kentucky or Texas Tech in the Sweet Sixteen and Michigan State or Cincinnati (LOL, okay, Michigan State) in the elite 8.
I know that the Midwest Regional is the weakest one, too, because EVERYONE in the comments loves their Midwest draw (Michigan State, Kentucky and Cincinnati fans).

With the revenge tour we've been on this year, the perfect bracket would have UCLA as the 8 seed, Gonzaga as the 4 and Duke as the 2.

I think it just depends on where we would face them. I agree I dont want anything to do with them in the second round as a 8/9 seed. But if we face them Sweet 16 or further I would be ok with it because there would probably be a lot of other potential teams at that point that I wouldnt want to see.

This. Obviously we're gonna have to play some good teams along the way, but with that said, if every lower seed could pull upsets so we don't have to play a single seed higher than 9, I would be all for it. Always hope for the easiest draw and never apologize for it. Anyone who says "i wanna play the best" is crazy. While I get the premise, it is still crazy that some prefer that route. As someone who has coached other sports competitively, never apologize for good matchups due to other teams pulling upsets.
