OK brackets are out, who is going to win the tournament?? My vote is UCONN, would love to see them play Duke. Matt
Can't believe Florida State got denied from the dance...How do you only send 4 teams from the ACC AFTER the expansion but you send 4 from the Pac-10 and 4 from the Missouri Valley Conference....?????.....FSU went 9-7 in the ACC and beat Duke twice (though EVERYONE KNOWS that the officials robbed them in one game in what was one of the blantantly bad calls ever)... bull..... Uconn is my pic to win.
Worst call among the top seeds: Tennessee at a #2, Gonzaga at a #3. Should be reversed. In fact, I'm not even sure TN should be as high as a 3.
Someone wanna make an ESPN group ? There are some Darkhorses out there.... maybe Boston College, KU? Don't you think making UNC #3 is a little messed up too ? Only reason why Tenn is up so high is probably the RPI score beating Florida, Kentucky .. Texas the real UT. http://kenpom.com/rpi.php
TN is #2 in DC and Gonzaga is #3 in Oakland, but TN still shouldn't be number 2 in DC. Illinois is #4 and UNC #3??? WTF? TN sucks! My Gators are #3 going against Southern Alabama. Hopefully we can get past the 2nd round. The game we played today pissed me off a lot. We were terrible and barely got by South Carolina (who beat us both times during the regular season).
This is semi related ... Villanova star Ray Allen's injury, hope he is well for the game on Friday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IGqim04eFM&search=ray%20allen%20eye EEP !
Being an SHU alum I'm excited by our first game which I think is one we have a chance at winning. I agree Uconn has a really good shot at winning it all. They are like two teams in one. I think Duke is going to have a rough go. My final four are Cuse, Memphis, Uconn, BC (or Ohio St not sure yet)
I am too loyal to my alma mater...Florida wins it all. And as for FSU not going to the dance, who did they play out of conference? Who did they play pre-conference? Thats what all of the sportscasters were asking. I think The Committee was sending FSU a message...and that message will hopefully be heard.
Okay BABBYYY. I don't know what you think about Digger Phleps and his TieLighters, but doesn't he HAVE to raise his hand with the highligher and move it up and down on the screen. WE KNOW YOU ARE MATCHING THE TIE AND HIGHLIGHTER ALREADY !
Point noted...but you can't only send 4 teams from the ACC...and the fact that they lost to UNC, BC, and Duke by less then 6 points combined says something...more then their pre-conference schedule... ONLY ONCE IN THE HISTORY OF THE TOURNEY HAS A TEAM GONE 9-7 in the ACC and not gone to the tourney...and you can bet they didn't have a win against the #1 team in the country as well as won 8 out of their last 10 games....
Better than that crap he wore down here in Gainesville to play against us. He has a sweating problem that needs to be fixed. It was really disgusting.
My Razorbacks go against Bucknell in the first round. I hope they don't overlook them. We get Memphis in the second round in Dallas which should be fun because of the border rivalry and we pretty much hate Calipari. I really don't know who will win it all...soo much parody in college sports these days.
A) Bruce Pearl is Satan. B) He has a tape on someone on the selection committee. How can you let your season collapse at the end like that, and still pull out a 2 seed?
I really, really want to see a Kansas-Bucknell rematch in the Sweet 16! Let Bill $elf sweat it out a little bit.
