i wouldnt be too shocked to see any of them baylor ark or unc lose first game actually, makes me feel better since cbs just conceded those as easy wins, who was the retard that thinks oregon is a home game for zona i almost fell over laughingComment -
i wonder if this barnes is any relation to rick barnesComment -
People complain about seedings but at the end of the day, you have to beat people to advance.
Texas and UCLA shouldn't have gotten in.
Colorado State and Murray State should have.
Texas had a hard schedule but at some point you have to beat people.
Same with UCLA. It's bot Murray State's fault they play in a mid-major Confernce.Comment -
East region easily the toughest region. Nova, Oklahoma, Virginia, Norther Iowa, Provo all very dangerous teams. Even Sparty at a #7 seed will be tough.
Midwest a bunch of scrub teams outside of UK, Wichy, and Notre Dame.
West is very weak, seems inevitable that Wisky and Zona will meet. Xavier is a horrible #6 seed and Baylor imo is a weak #3 seed.
South is probably the second toughest region. I think ISU can make a run.Comment -
Who has Murray state beaten? no one. I have no problem with them not getting in. They played in a scrubbo conference and played one of the weakest non-conf. schedules.Originally posted by BigDofBAComment -
Big East got way too much love. Xavier was a #6 seed? Seriously? And how is Gtown a #4 seed, i honestly saw GTown as a 8 or 9 seed.Comment -
i do think you have to get the play in games right, ucla gets in ahead of boise ole miss byu and dayton based on what these idiots did,which is a jokeOriginally posted by BigDofBAComment -
That is a good point.Originally posted by thetrinity
Murray State is a better team than UCLA. I already pointed out that they couldn't control their schedule. It sucked.
UCLA and Texas are getting in just BC they play in good confernces. They probably both lose first game.Comment -
Yep. Would have both wichy state and northern Iowa higher than gtown and x.Originally posted by KRITComment -
easy for us to fade, i kinda think texas got a good matchup somehow though, butler is a blah 6 seedOriginally posted by BigDofBAComment -
I agree. Butler is pretty weak imo. For one, they have no size. Texas should own them in the paint. But in the end, Barnes probably does them in.Originally posted by thetrinityComment -
Don't get mixed up with teams not belonging like Texas or UCLA, and thinking they can't win a game or two.Comment -
LSU is going to beat Villanova in the round of 32. They are so big upfront and Nova only has 1 guy who is 6'11. The hardest game to decide for me is going to be Michigan St vs Providence in the Sweet 16.Comment -
hey pal, they beat stanford and impressively whipped usc on the road! which happened to be the 1 gm the committee watched and counted as the "eye test"..Originally posted by thetrinity
i have no problem with anyone who got left out, particularly im not shedding tears for col st or murry st. if anything i want less teams in not different teams in. it just hard to stomach okie st who lost 6 of last 7 and basically get in because horns who shouldnt be in did like all yr and took nights off against them and they prob caught baylor thinking it was a break in the schedule.
ucla has those 2 whole road wins,
im not sure hoosiers even left bloomington this season, surely not in the non conf.
ol piss claim to fame is beating ark on the road! think that was right in the middle of losing 4 of their last 5!
oh well, who cares. disagree with seeding not mattering. this year uk gets a cakewalk to elite 8 at least while last year they were the 8 seed in shockers 1 seed bracket! tell them it didnt matter, of coarse it matters when besides a few teams styles are as big a decider as anything else..Comment -
i give texas a much better chance personallyOriginally posted by meader99Comment -
pretty ballsy counting on lsu to play 2 solid gms in a row vs good teams. gl with trusting their guards vs nova.. here the thing for me and everyone knows i been sucking lsu off most the year, it so hard to advance a team like them very far in your bracket despite they capable of beating most everyone, bottom line is they have proven throughout the season it just as likely they pull a no show on you the 1st day and ruin your bracket as it is they advance, then you have to worry another day about them showing up. no way that happens more than 3 gms in a row tops so is it worth it to move them along?Originally posted by TakingVegasMoneyComment -
I also think if BYU beats Ole Miss in the play in game, they will make it to the sweet 16.Comment -
im certainly not saying that. when it comes down to it all the bubble teams are basically the same in so much as they capable of beating some teams, i just like to vent for 1st 45 min after seeing the undeserving types with resumes that the committee would shun and publicly chastise if they came from a mid major. the biggest unjustice of the whole damn thing this yr is dayton who was gassed from opening tip today and has no depth has to play a extra gm as a last 4 in when there at least 8 teams they should have been seeded better thanOriginally posted by meader99Comment -
Totally agree. That top half of that bracket is a complete shit show. I can't stand Villanova, they choke so often in the tourney and I don't think they are as good as everyone says.. Providence should have beaten them the other night.Originally posted by 2daBankComment -
texas is gonna be favored i would think the books love them for some reason
nc st lsu is one of the best games in the first round im thrilled i got that one
interested to see some linesComment -

good point, i would be thinking boise plus whatever on wednesday myselfComment -
Agreed. Just because teams don't belong don't mean they can't win. Imo neither Texas or UCLA belong, but I like them both to win in their first games.Originally posted by meader99Comment -
Boise having to travel to Dayton, counters that thinking, being in front of a home court will boost them. Dayton should roll.Originally posted by thetrinityComment -
provo def should have beaten them but ive been really high on them all year, provo has 2 legit 1st round picks and a lot of length 1 thru 5 plus more on the bench.. i actually think this nova team better than most years they perennial chokers, ive thought there was a different level of toughness to them the typically lack and it pretty rare to have a handful of guys with this much ability playing together as jr and seniors.. you right tho, history alone makes them hard to trust..Originally posted by TakingVegasMoneyComment -
Agreed, that's a killer 8/9 matcup. If LSU works through their bigs they should win, but half the time they don't. Then again, 8/9's are always the best. Most are usually toss ups, gun to my head: NCST over LSU, Johnnies over SDSU, OKST over Oregon, Purdue over Cinci.Originally posted by thetrinityComment -
that 1 hard for me cause i love me some dayton. they pretty similar but dayton plays much more hard nosed defense, probably hinges on them having their legs back cause they couldnt buy a 3 today. i think they will by wed..Originally posted by thetrinityComment -
Boy oh boy, I don't know where to start...Murray St. is a better team than UCLA???Originally posted by BigDofBAComment -
you going to have an ncaa thread? i always enjoy looking at your picks.Originally posted by leetreaperComment -
Yes, around Tue-Wed.Originally posted by bob6199Comment -
i think dayton is gassed, boises played well late in the season, we shall seeComment -
Anyone got games where they think the lower seed will be favored over the higher seed (not including 8/9 matchup). Thinking these:
Ohio St favored over VCU
Texas favored over Butler
Maybe UCLA over SMU, but doubt it.Comment -
I really hope BYU wins the play in game because I can see them going onto the sweet 16. BYU has lost 9 games all year, 8 of which were by less than 7 points. In basketball, thats a bucket here and a stop there. They can definitely beat Xavier, who I think is very overseeded, and an overrated Baylor Bears team!Comment -
