I'm also expecting a PIG, so be it. Gives another chance at a warm-up before having to face a powerhouse. I'm just happy that we're here, we get what we get.
I had a minor connection with a school that played a first round game in Sac in, I think, 2002. They lost their first game and per NCAA rules they were out of their hotel and on the plane the next day.
Maybe the selection committee wanted another story line. If Davis wins the PIG (big "if"), coach Les will face Kansas again. In 2006, Les' 13 seed Bradley knocked 4 seed Kansas out of the first round. Bradley went on to beat Pitt to get to the sweet 16.
