Other teams in the area:
#9 Iowa State is taking on #8 Syracuse
#7 Depaul is going against #10 Northern Iowa
#8 Green Bay is facing #9 Purdue (in South Bend, IN...there's going to be a good crowd there)
#10 Drake is playing #7 Kansas State

Also, obviously we've got to get past Florida State first, but I'd love a rematch against Mizzou in the second round. For those that forgot, we played Mizzou in the early season (11/29) and only lost by 3 at their place. We're playing some inspired basketball right now and I like our chances in a rematch.

That's pretty impressive too. If the league gets any better we're going to start getting at-large bids to the tournament.
