I think they'd beat us soundly because they would out-Utah us. The loss of Anderson could cost them a #1 seed, which is bad news for whatever #1 seed gets them in their bracket.
1-seed power ranking:

1) Kentucky. Nobody wants to play this team.
2) UVa. Nobody will be excited about playing this team either.
3) Duke. Teams will know they have a chance, based on Duke's recent early exits, reliance on freshmen, and loss to NCState.
4) Gonzaga. Who wouldn't mind being the Zags first tough opponent in 2 months?
