Part of the reason that the odds on Wake winning their bracket is so good is that Louisville is a very beatable one seed. They lost to Western Kentucky, Minnesota, UNLV, and Notre Dame while going 16-2 in the Big East with the benefit of not having to play at Connecticut or at Pittsburgh which could easily be the difference between 16-2 and 14-4. As a Siena fan I hated getting a 9 seed (10 or 11 would have been much better) but am at least thrilled that they got matched up with the only 1 seed they could possibly beat. Sure it's a 5% chance they beat Louisville but that is better than the 0% chance against Pitt/NC/Conn who would murder them inside.

i watched wake push UNC and Duke around they are a top 10 team and for them to be anything other than a #3 or better is a joke , rpi rankings and all
Louisville in my opinion will be the first #1 seed out , i watched it with my own eyes no team took it to carolina like the did this year , they beat duke aslo whe the blue devils were #1 , they can beat louisville
