Given how Day One of this tournament has gone, the seeds seem to matter very little. Georgetown didn't end their season with a bad half against Minnesota, but somehow they still lost their 1st Round game. Villanova lost 5 of their last 7 games, but somehow they managed to win their 1st Round game. This is a new season folks. Throw out the records. The teams that come ready to play will win. Some teams that do may lose a tight one, or in overtime. I'm not going to try to predict this one - it will be decided on the basketball court.
