From your perspective now which of the 1-seeds would you have preferred to have Vanderbilt face inthe second round, had they won in the first?
For this question, do not presume that any of the 1s would have played exactly the same game in the second round that they played in reality. For example, Villanova lost to Wisconsin in the second round, so perhaps you'd rather play them if you knew they would play at that level of performance. But we can't presume they would have played exactly the same game because of matchups, randomness, etc., even though that loss did give us more information to help us assess Villanova.
