    Your Final Four?

    Pretty boring year for me. I have Kentucky, Arizona, Gonzaga and still not sure about the East (total toss-up to me).

    Yours?

    Baylor wouldn't surprise me, but I don't trust Drew. Same goes for Nova/Wright.

    Cyclones scare me defensively.

    isu doenst make it out of the round of 32.. i hate them tho so i could be basing this statement out of spite. they dont play defense tho so pretty decent chance im right. i just need smu to get past ucla and i think they beat isu. if smu loses the 1st gm then id worry a little, dont see them beating zags tho, long as zags dont duck out to one of the shit teams in their 1st 2 gms..

    I feel Kentucky's only threat before final 4 is Wichita State and that would take the planets to align.

    I Have Kentucky, MSU, AZ, SMU but would not be surprised to see Utah or NC grab a spot

    therefore I threw down on

    Kent vs Utah +2975
    Kent vs MSU +4325
    Kent vs SMU +10,600

    NC to win Region +1000
    AZ to win final four round +470

    my 2 cents

    they really not all that good, i have my doubts they make it out of the 1st weekend. i think most the big 12 will be home by end of 1st weekend honestly, the conf was good as in there were only 2 or 3 shitty teams but they over hyped as in they all getting a lot of credit for beating each other which is fine cept they all were a little overrated to begin with imo. im sure ppl will disagree and that fine but i saw plenty of evidence in the non conf for each and every one of them being thought of too highly. personally i think Ou has the best chance to make a run but i dont like their draw..

    Still haven't done my bracket. Surprised some of you guys said Baylor, I think they're the weakeast 3 seed i've seen in a while. They over-achieved this year, pretty sure I'll have them bounced by before the sweet 16.

    If I remember right, hasn't the final four/elite 8 been pretty chalky the last 2-3 years?

    i just think they really really good. granted their shithole conf doesnt properly test them for the tourney and that been a issue but it unusual for me to like them as much i do this yr (i think it helps they got a really favorable draw for the 1st 2 gms and they really close to home, dont see anyone in that mini bracket knocking them off and once they get past the 1st weekend i dont worry about competition level any longer).

    everyone on the court can score for them, they have great size down low with karnowski and sabonis, wiltjer a matchup nightmare, dude 6'10 shoots 46% from behind the arc and has the ability to take bigger guys off the bounce and post up smaller guys. 2 senior guards in pangos and bell who both can play, most importantly i think this team is much tougher than previous versions, they tested themselves in the non-conf and i came away impressed only slipping @zona where they controlled the majority of that gm and showed a toughness inside they have always lacked..

    not only do i think they got hooked up with the 1st weekend gms but they also got put in duke's bracket who i think is the weakest 1 seed and a good matchup for them.. all that said these guys have a habit of getting bounced early so maybe you be right and my bracket screwed early but i just dont think the senior leadership on this extremely talented team is gonna allow their career to end never making a run..

    i think there several options in nova's bracket. initially i went with nova cause i think much like zags they a lot tougher this season but that just a tough draw they have. i think they have the toughest 8-9 winner to deal with of the four 1 seeds (lean ncst but either them or lsu both capable of being as good as pretty much anyone in country on any given night). uni is better than a 5 seed and i suspect will be their opponent if they able to make the sweet 16, anderson not being right makes uva unlikely to advance to the elite 8 which makes this bracket more likely for a lower seed to come thru it, there several teams on bottom half i think capable of making run, provo, Ou, no way am i counting out sparty and actually have them in elite 8 in several brackets. besides ville i think any of the 3-7 in that bracket could come out the other side..

    I agree with everything you said. But my problem is I just have no idea who I can trust. Uva msu prov OU and UNI are all capable of making it out of the region and I don't think there's much of a difference between them (assuming justin anderson isn't healthy, if he's healthy then I like uva to win the region). I hate backing Jay wright and nova but I have more trust they'll make it through the first weekend than any of the aforementioned clubs I guess

    they spanked smu, uga, and st johns in the non conf. outplayed zona for 38 minutes before blowing the gm late and losing in ot, at zona! they waxed ucla at ucla as well. pretty sure i saw you say something bout bruins being talented.. i get it, their conf sux but imo they proved themselves well before conf play began. normally their issue is the weak conf leaves them vulnerable early in the tourney, this season they got a great draw really close to home for the 1st weekend, i think once they into the sweet 16 the rust will be off from playing scrubs for 2 months. we shall see.

    Baylor needs Rico to get all those offensive put backs. If they run into Arizona that's not gonna happen.

    Think the Champion will be whoever wins Kentucky vs Arizona. That's the match up I want to see most. The other side could be 6-8 teams . In the small pool I went with Nova and Gonzaga. Gotta root for Nova since it's right around the corner. In big pool I stabbed at Oklahoma and Utah
