What you rather be a 8 seed, who will play the 1 seed in the second round. Or the 12 Seed who will play the 4th Seed in the Second Round.
When you are an 8 seed. The odds are in your favor for winning, but a huge underdog the second game. But with a 12 Seed, you are an underdog in the 1st Game. But face an easier road then an 8 would.

If I were a coach, I wouldn't go into the tournament looking for the best way to win a game or two. You have to take what you get and if you want to be the champ... you need to win 6 games in a row against whoever you play.
By the way #12 seeds are almost always reserved for "mid-majors" from smaller conferences. Usually the conference tournament winner of a small to mid-size conference. Those schools are just happy to be in. #8 seeds are usually at large bids for big schools in big time conferences who had a bad year and are the last in their conference to make the tournament. A world of difference between #8 and #12.

I would say 12 seed, because the 8 seeds never win against the 1 seeds. Just look at Illinois. They had the lead for 38 minutes against VT and lost it, and they were a 12 seed.
Another thing is only one 8 seed, Kentucky, even made it to the second round.

definately would rather be in the 12 seeds shoes. Most of the time the 1 teams deserve their one seeds. Many 4 seeds could be bumped down to a 5 or 6.

It don't matter, I would just be happy to play in the tournament.
