Team with Most to Prove
My nominees would be:
UMD - big jump needs big first weekend to back the seed - two wins and the committee is proven right
St Joes - been called out all season by the big conference fan club, Billy Packer, President
Duke - lose conference tourney and keep a top seed - everybody but Duke fans wants them knocked down a notch
WI - complained about 6 seed (rightfully), but playing at home - need to defend honor of Big Ten
Pitt, OSU, UCONN - any of whom can make the case for a higher seed - need to win now to back that case
Mid-major at-large teams - unpreceented numbers of mid-majors, they have been begging for more for years, now they need to show they belong by taking on the big dogs
