i wouldnt say having to play a tough two seed in the 28-2 US Coast Guard Academy in the 2nd round was favorable :( 

especially since we didnt win!

oh well...at least we still have our mediocre conference to dominate

Ditto for me Bow... I was in the same bracket as the #3 seed and lost to the #6 by a non-shooting foul in the 1+1 with 0 secs remaining and only up by 1.  Of course he makes them both.

The strange thing was that I was in a weak conference as well... had a better RPI than you but was somehow ranked #24 overall (with a RPI in the teens as with the SoS) but was favored by 4 over the #6 seed who was ranked in the high teens I think.
