Maybe earlier in the season......but I dont think anyone is overrating them anymore.

They were probably not taking Texas but fading Oklahoma.

They won't get past the 1H of their first game in the tourny.

since SID's and other lackeys fill out most of the Coaches Poll ballots, you get real quality results.

Anybody who watches them every game is in their conference and wants them in the Top 25 as it helps their school . . .

Another reason why I prefer NCAA basketball's 'championship season' exponentially over the football bowl system. The influence of the poll is negated once the tourney starts.

I wont lie I was on Texas in the early season. But I quickly realized they were giving more credit then they deserved once big 12 play started

hell i bet them some early when they were wining but i never lost sight of the fact the teams they were beating were mirages as well

gonzaga is a great team but every time i see them facing an opponent theyr like -20 theyr conference is a joke and when they played duke they got throttled i hope theyr ready to play better teams in the tourney

Don't forget that Texas can't make FT's either. Tough to be impressed by a team that struggles to close out games.

you cant count that duke game. They had one awful game this year and that was it. And to walk into Cameroon and expect to win is a high high high high price. If you judge Gonzaga because of that that is ridiciclous

mkasad23 · 03-01-10, 10:50 PM

im not judging on that they havnt played that many great teams thats my point you never know how ready a team is after being favored by 20 poi9nts almost every game

suckerforparlays · 03-01-10, 10:55 PM

sorry I came off rude on that post anyways, But I do think they will be ready trust me on this one. There a seasoned team they have gone through a tough out of conference schedule they have played with quality teams. And the West Coast Conference Tourney is gonna give them a big feel for the March Madness Tourney because that tourney has sold out for over 8500 fans already just to be viewing the Championship game.

Either I don't know what I'm talking about or they were really good from the line tonight. Either way, I'll take it as I can cash a TX 2H bet.

they did shoot pretty good from the line i think
