So just to clarify, Asteroid, does that mean we're projected as underdogs from the Sweet 16 on (assuming we play the highest seed possible)?

These are about the same odds I had of marrying my wife and that worked out so hopefully this does as well...

Not asteroid, but that’s how I’m reading his report, porthawk!
Will only make it sweeter if they can win it all!

Yes; the West region is really loaded. Four of the top six Sagarin Overall teams (as of Friday's games) are in the West region: #2 UCLA, #4 Kansas, #5 Gonzaga, and #6 Connecticut. (Kansas dropped to #7 after that 20 point loss to Texas.)

Got it. Thanks for the explanation, asteroid. And quite a gauntlet* it is, indeed.
*Btw, does anyone know if it's gauntlet or gantlet? I always thought it was the former, but then I read that it's actually the latter.

Well, I’ll be. Live and learn another day. News to me as well, port. I do not ever recall seeing “gantlet” before. Perhaps I subconsciously added the “u”? But this seems to cover it…

Is it “gantlet” or “gauntlet”?

Q: Sometimes I see “gantlet” and sometimes I see “gauntlet.” Which one is correct?
A: The old “gantlet/gauntlet” distinction is rapidly being lost, since dictionaries these days are increasingly regarding them as interchangeable.
“Gantlet” originally came from a Swedish word similar to “lane,” and referred to the parallel lines involved in an old form of military punishment. Someone forced to “run the gantlet” was made to run between parallel lines of his colleagues, who would hit him with clubs or switches as he passed.
A “gauntlet” (French word) was a heavy, armored glove worn by a knight. As a challenge to fight, the knight would toss his glove to the ground (“throw down the gauntlet”). The opponent accepting the challenge was said to “pick up the gauntlet.”
Most dictionaries now accept the spelling “gauntlet” for both of those meanings. There’s still a technical term “gantlet” used in railroading, though.
