I stand corrected. I didn't think Liberty would wind up matched up against St. Joesph's when the matchups were revealed. But be honest, how many of you were smiling when you saw the bracket come out with LU mathcing up with St. Joe's in the first round? Count me among those who consider the Hawks to be posers. I'm not buying their #1 seed status.
That said, I wouldn't bet the farm on a first round upset. J-Nelson is legit. But after watching my hometown Xavier Muskies dismantle the Hawks this past week. A Flames upset wouldn't leave me speechless.
Obviously, Liberty is getting more respect than you might expect not only not being slotted in the play-in game in Dayton, but also being matched up with the obvious lowest #1 seed. That means the selection committee basically thought 4 teams in the field were poorer than the Flames. I can live with that.
The really bad news is being sent to Buffalo. That is punishment in March. Yikes.
