538: WBB would have been a three seed in a brutal bracket

[CatManTrue]

Quite the projected reward for the B1G champion: a 3 seed in the same region with #1 Oregon and #2 Connecticut. The second round match-up would have been against #6 Princeton: assuming they both would have one.

It would have been a brutal road if accurate, but damn that would have been fun to watch.

Princeton v. NU might have been first to score 40 wins. Two very good defensive teams.

It gets tougher: 538 projected we would have beaten the Tigers to face UConn in the Sweet 16. They even provide a link showing this was easily our best WBB season of all time, yet they weren’t able to prove it in the postseason.

This sucks. I wish the NCAA would have postponed both tournaments instead of immediately cancelling them. I would have liked to see what we could have done without the UC crowd influence.
