Dangerous Tourney Teams
Tonight I watched Louisville beat Notre Dame. Two teams that have been very hot of late and both looked poised to make a run in the tournament and i would not like to see either of these teams in the Longhorn's side of the bracket. So i got to thinking what other teams would i not like to see texas face in the second or third round, other than the obvious powerhouses or teams that we have played in the regular season. Kind of like USC last year.

To qualify a team had to be a 3 seed or higher in ESPN's Bracketology
Here is what i came up with...
Louisville- A very versatile team who can beat you in many ways. They have a very good 7 footer inside who has the ability to take over the game not only down low, but by finding the open man.
Vanderbilt- Beside the fact that they just beat the number one ranked team, they have a player, Shan Foster, who can take over a game. (5 seed in our bracket according to Bracketology)
Uconn- This is a young team full of talent who have seemed to gel in the last 4 or 5 weeks.(4 seed in our bracket according to Bracketology)
Purdue/ Indiana- Texas has had a problem with the Big 10 this year.
Stanford- Two very good 7 foot twins, a match up problem for anyone.
Pittsburgh- This is a very physical team that plays good defense, and beat a very similar team (Duke) earlier this year.
Is there one particular team that you don't want to see? Please Discuss

Duke?
I like the poll, but how are we similar to Duke? I don't see it.

we are similar in the fact that
We are a very perimeter orianted team, a bit undersized, and we both rely on good gaurd play. The post is niether's strength

There should be an option of
"I FEAR NOTHING! Texas will beat all these teams."
^ I would've voted for that one.

Louisville is.....

I think I got an anti-Big East bias
because I don't think any of those teams are that good this year.

How about the other game last night?
Michigan State vs. Wisconsin
Two of the teams that beat us this year. They are big and physical.
For that matter, USC is looking better. OJ Mayo is good and that would just be a little to ominous if we were to match up with them again.

UCLA
Frankly I don't relish a rematch -- vengeance and all that, even though I think we could dispatch Love again and win it. Vandy could be trouble. I was amazed how they had the Vols running ragged toward the end.

I realize UCLA doesn't fit your parameters
I voted Vanderbilt

Indiana
Their inside-out combo of DJ White & Eric Gordon is scary. Those are two lottery picks, and whenever they are clicking IU is difficult to play with.
