they basically get the first 2 at home too (not too far from Seattle to Portland). I've got them, Memphis and Purdue as the only possibles from that bracket. Faded UConn due to their best scorer being out.

On what basis? They scored 93 points at Marquette without him. They lost twice to Pitt and once to Syracuse in 6 OTs without him. They likely would have lost both those games with him.

Marquette was missing James that game, so it's a toss in my eyes. Marq without James is mediocre at best. They'd probably have still lost to Pitt, but would have won the Syracuse game. Dyson would have made at least one of the shots at the end of an OT somewhere... if it even made it to OT. Without Dyson, if someone can get their big guy in foul trouble, then they've lost their best option for any balance at all.
Wouldn't shock me at all to see them lose to BYU, Wash or Purdue... let alone Memphis.
