Road to the Final Four

pinnacle got the lines out.. what do you think about vandy vs murray st?

[Wolf40]

Man I like the Ok state play.. I think they can take out Ohio St in round 2
I love NMST and they have been great to me lately
Staying off housten is will be high scoring but I can see Maryland opening it up on them
I def love BYU **** Florida
love Baylor
I don't see xavier losing but your right what the hell is up with that line?
I like the st mary's Richmond matchup st mary's may have shot their load
like Louv
the wofford pick is interesting, big ten has trouble scoring and I have the whole conf going out fairly early this year.

[2daBank]

here we go these are all just my first reaction and can and will likely change some but leans for every game...

UNLV pk
New mex st +12.5....love it
Hou+8.5...like it
san diego st +3.5.....doubt i play
okie st pk....nice
UTEP +3.....love it
Murry st +4...probably will change my mind
xavier +1...this line seems wierd so who knows
BYU-4....love it
n.tex+15.5..to many points i think...gotta make sure n.tex can hold there own down low
richmond +1
Baylor -12.5
ODU +3.....liking this one as well
Lou +1.5...like it
Wofford +9.5.....dont think wisky can blow these guys out
Temple-4.....this 1 is crazy as this is tough but if temple can win ths watch out

left a few games off as not sure im even intrested in them.....lets here what everyone thinks and why im wrong

just bringing it up to the front page

pinnacle got the lines out.. what do you think about vandy vs murray st?

i like murry st to win str8 up.....having a hard time who gets to sweet 16 between utep and murry st

[mlb]

i like vandy in that one, mayb murray st to cover though

[2daBank]

i like a lot of them...won't play that many....disagree with ODU...they will get routed by ND...ND is top 5 hottest team in the country and they have great senior leadership

i think a lot of pl are overvaluing this little streak ND been on sure they beat a couple solid big east clubs but how motivated where those clubs and quite frankly bmost the teams they beat in this "hot streak" arnt all that impressive to me...bottom line is they winning trying to play this new style that odu has played all year hard to beat a team like odu at there own game....but hell like i said if ND continues to get every shit BS call like they have gotton on this run maybe you right (but thse wont be ND Catholic big east refs i hope)

[2daBank]

marq/wash game to me is gonna be a lot closer than ppl think, i got a ton of respect for marq but i think style wise this is the kind of team wah needed to play and its a pk? you know marq gonna get pounded, dont underestimate that this one is out west as well adv wash

Duke over Ohio state in the finals

[2daBank]

Duke over Ohio state in the finals

i got lou beating duke in the second round....duke just won today the only thing they ever win

[jwbama23]

betus and betphoenix do not have them out. Probably wont come out till wednesday as they are always the last books......except bodog.

you must be kidding....

[nobodyukno]

haha i did the same EXACT thing when i ran through my bracket. dont know if i got the balls to actually submit it like that though. As a Nova fan i couldnt be happier, a miracle 2 seed and then placed in the shittiest region ever. They could walk through that bracket easy.

watch out for baylor but yea winner of that game got it made

[Mybologne]

bracket time who we like?

[beanbag]

Yeah baylor looks hot!.. but I'm really mixed up with the East Regional whose gonna come out on top.. young kentucky team or WV? hard pick..

gotta say WVU as im not even sure i got ken making it to that game....id love to take temple to beat ken but im worried temple could lose to cornell

[KingKolzig]

this is already brain overload ..........i might just take every ML on all dogs +100 to +400, not the way to gamble but there are always a ton of upsets so it should be an interesting strategy

[beanbag]

2dabank, so you have WVU in the finals then?

[Wolf40]

Bank what do you think about the Midwest? you think kansas has it easy or can Ohio St make it. (I'm worried that they shot their load and their lack of depth will hurt them against Gtown or ok st)

[Wolf40]

i don't see Temple being able to handle kentucky
I agree Cornell/Temple is a strong poss of an upset

but Texas might be able too!!

[NYsportsfreak]

bank, i also have cornell beating temple....temple doesn't have anyone to bang down low with 7' jeff foote

[2daBank]

mid west is a fukkin killer....i got my bottom half of it done but the unlv/n.iowa gm, mich st, new nex st, marylad/hou.....i just cant decide wtf to do with those teams... i mean ultimately it gonna be Ku vs Gtown in the Mid west but some of the games getting there are fukkin tough...guess i could just chalk all the way in that on put Maryland up against mich st and winner of that falls to Ku but i really wanna knock off mich st or maryland in the 1st round for some reason

[Wolf40]

Me too man... I actually have Mich St losing. screw it you gotta have some upsets and Mich St is primed to lose. they can easily get outscored by NMST especially if they focus on Lucas and guard the 3 vs Luscious and allen if he's back.

I do think Maryland will make it out though becasue they can score when they need to. I like Gtowns path and think Ohio st is going to run into problems early. In the ok st or gtown game Ohio St could see foul trouble which would be the end of them.

[2daBank]

bank, i also have cornell beating temple....temple doesn't have anyone to bang down low with 7' jeff foote

i stll got temple winning but that what sux about this matchup is someone getting screwed right here cause the team that wins is going sweat 16 at least i think so its a real big spot in the bracket for everyone.....i lkove me some cornell but i gotta say i dont think iu gave temple enough respect all year i have been pretty impressed watching them play the last few week...the way i feel about it is cornell would be better of playing uk or some other dumbshit young team that there style might bother i think temple ias to disciplined and plays to good of d to lose this game, but like i said i think this is a key game in the bracket so im stilll working on it

[MUHerd37]

The winner of Cornell/Temple gets beat in the next round by Wisconsin

[MUHerd37]

Bank you gotta stop hating on UK. They lost 2 games all year and then avenged both losses including whipping Tennessee's ass by 29 in the SEC semifinal game. Also, after losing to South Carolina we avenged that loss with a 21 point win.

Biggest surprise for me was seeing Vill a #2. I guess the committe just really thought the world of the Big East keeping SU a #1 and Vill a 2 after the way they both finished the season. Vill lost 5 of their last 7 and what was their record against ranked teams...something like 3-5 (RPI top 25). How come they did not get thrown into the Midwest?

Ok so which 12-5 provides the upset other than UTEP?

I love how everyone has Lou beating Cal...Pac-10 regular season champs. That says how weak everything thinks of that conference for sure. I like Lou too but what have they done outside of beating SU? They got a gift there.

yea they didnt exactly play in a tough conf and there out of conf schedule wasnt asll that.....it only takes one loss in the tourney and if you did some research no team that shoots as low a percentage from 3 that uk doews has ever won the thing, add to that there inexperience, shitty coach, and look at all the games they let avg teams hang with them just to barely pull it out.....i got news for you they do that shit in the tourney its time to go home

its funnny cause ecen though im dissing crap-10 im still unable to pick a winner in the marq/wash game....everyone thinks that one is a gift, and i think its a very tough matchup for marq(who i like)

[2daBank]

The winner of Cornell/Temple gets beat in the next round by Wisconsin

wicy be lucky to beat Wofford and if they do they lose to the temple/cornell winner

[2daBank]

im still stuck on a feww games having a terrible time with pur siena...everyone loves siena but to me they not as good as last year but how can i trust Pur w/o Hummel

[Wolf40]

here's what I'm thinking for straight upsets... what you think?

NMST beating Mich St
San Diego St beating Tenn
Utep beating Butler
Murray St beating Vandy
Miss beating Clemson
Washington Beating Marquette
Wofford Beating Wisc

i think we on the same page with a lot of those

Besides playing Tenn 3 times who have the played??? RPI SOS is a 31 overall and 101 for their non-conference games this year. That is says a lot. They beat Vanday twice and Lou. Those were the only top 50 RPI teams they had besides Tenn. They only beat UConn and UNC by 2 and 3 points. I don't know they are a talented team but I don't think they are Final 4 material this year.

[MUHerd37]

I never said they win it all. Also, Calipari isn't a shitty coach. Everyone just wants to hate on the man. He has been named coach of the year twice, has taken 2 different teams to the final four and would have won a national championship if his players could have hit a free throw at the end of the game. He isn't Coach K or Dean Smith or anything but he is a good coach.
