    /\ fg% and turnover's much more important , alot of those teams just play such a slow offensive game, their opponets get less possessions...

    Louisville is 110th in the nation in turnover differential (slightly above average)
    http://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball...nt/team/519/p3

    FG percentage defense they are top ten, but 9 out of the 16 team teams left are either better them or close to it.

    Lol What does our t/o differential have to do with defense...

    We have been very sloppy with the ball throughout the season, but not any more...

    No game is easy. That being said, I think Marq -2 is one of the best bets of the night. The remaining games you have in my opinion lack value or I am going the other way.

    I am not playing Cincy or NCS. NCS game screams the type of game that you get suckered into playing based on the way the teams performed in each of their respective last games. Never a good idea. I actually like Cincy but with the line being so stale at 7.5 and 75%+ public on Cincy I refuse to touch it.

    Lou and Baylor I am on the other side.

    Even today people still underestimate just how good a coach Pitino is. The man is a basketball genius.

    Wow! Thats a lot of time but I digress. Will not try to over think this. Forget stats,NCAA Tournament game
    Will take the 5 and Louisville. Patino already said he intends to run with State. Cards are fully healthy and
    can run with anybody! Luck All!

    Pitino is 3 and 10 against #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament lifetime.

    Tome Izzo is 7 and 2 lifetime as a head coach in the Sweet 16 game himself.

    You would think with all those stacked teams, Pitino would have more than just one championship.
    (The same as Izzo)

    Sorry, but when I think of great coaches, the list starts with Wooden, then Knight, Coach K.... Dean Smith then you get to Jim Calhounn's of the world.

    Pitino is in the Billy Donovan and Jim Boeheim tier.

    I think Donovan and Boeheim are below Pitino.


    If Boeheim hadn't of had Melo, his teams would be collossal suck asses in the tourney every year. Donovan was an NCAA choker before he had a couple nba guys on that one team and broke thru twice.

    I can accept this statement.

    Nobody is saying Pitino is a horse crap coach, not at all, but his NCAA record is not as great as one thinks.
    Oh sure he's been to the big game twice, winning once, but Calhoun has won 3 times with less talent.
    Oh sure he's won with Ray Allen and Kemba Walker, but I'll take Calhoun over Pitino.

    hmmm, if IU hadn't had Keith Smart, Boeheim would've had another national title right there. Cuse has had their tourney disappointments, but "every year" is overstating the point pretty severely..

    i might take Calhoun over Pitino, but i'd definitely take Izzo over Calhoun, Pitino, Boeheim and Calipari all together on the same bench. i'm not even a Michigan State fan, but Izzo is hands down the best current coach in sports, period. that's not to put the other guys down. this is Izzo's 15th season and his 10 Sweet Sixteen (along with 6 Final Fours in 14 seasons with the 15th year still open for the moment). that's unreal.

    Wooden is obviously the platinum standard that can never be touched. beyond that, Izzo's numbers compare very favorably to Knight, Coach K, Dean Smith, anyone at the end of his 15th year on the job. it also should be noted that it's not as if MSU regularly is at the top of recruiting class lists either.

    Spot on post.

    I said to my wife (who is a big sports fan) earlier, Tom Izzo is so underrated it's hysterical.
    All he does is win clutch games (most of the time) flies under the radar, runs as good as a program as you can run a big time program, etc. etc. etc.

    Like I said in an earlier post, Pitino 3 and 10 against #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament, and Izzo is 7 and 2 in Sweet 16 games.
    Izzo will not, repeat will not get out coached tonight.

    Don't know if I agree. Pitino is 1 player (Derek Anderson) away from back to back titles at UK. He was the 2nd leading scorer on that team and went out with a season ending injury and they still made the Finals. And if Rick wouldn't have left for Boston he would've had 3 titles but instead handed the reigns over to Tubby Smith. If there's anyone who has done less with more IMO it would be Dean Smith considering the number of All-Americans he's had.
