I'll be rooting for UConn #4 seed in the West...they have a great history with Jim Calhoun at the helms, but I honestly didn't see em much this winter..
roys a hellava coach. i gotta rep OU even tho they suck. final 4 gonna be, KU, UNC, Tex, and Duke. id like to see KU play Tex again for the title. idk...
I haven't given it much thought yet....thats for tomorrow lol.
But right now, my final four are UNC, Memphis, UCLA, and Georgetown.
But then again, still considering Texas coming out the south, Pitt coming out of the south, Tennessee coming out of the east, Kansas coming out of the midwest, Xavier out of the west, and so on. I'll give my final answer tomorrow night.
Haha, I wont even make a guess at this b/c I dont watch enough ball to know but I will say that Duke wont make it to the Final Four. I would put money on it...
Duke will probably play their last game coming up. They had a hard time tonight.
Personally I like Kansas but them Tar Heels rule Southern ball. Georgetown tightens up on defense in the paint and you'll see them in the ''4'' easily.
Haha, duke almost lost. Thats great. I was a work and we were listening to it on the radio and EVERYONE in the back stopped what they were doing when the last 4 secs came up and waited in suspense. When Duke won everyone let out a dissapointed sigh except for 1 guy who was cheering. I was so pissed
I made 45 bucks b/c they lost out before the final 4. I knew it was coming. You cant strictly rely on outside shooting to get you through the season. Duke has always had a great combo of big men inside and shooters outside and this year coach K faild at that. If they had a beastly big man inside, Duke would easily make it to the final four
I picked Duke to lose to WV in my bracket just like they did, they were way overrated coming into the tourney.
This isn't exactly how i had it all in my bracket of course, but here are my picks for the sweet 16...
UNC beats WSU
L'ville beats Tennessee
KU beats NOVA
Davidson beats Wisconsin (really on the fence here, i knew both these teams were gonna over-achieve in tourney, either way i say the winner upsets Kansas to make the Final Four)
6 outta 8 ain't bad I guess. Shoulda known better picking WVU over Xavier. But I can't blame myself for picking MSU over Memphis cause I still think Memphis is going down.
no way texas beat memphis. did you see how mempho played last night? also, as much as I like davidson they aren't going to beat kansas. they are too raw. I agree with UNC and UCLA though.
omg what a game. davidson came so close. curry took to long bringing the ball up court. he should of hurried so he has more time to setup for a shot. damn that was close.
on a brighter note, 4 #1 seeds advance to the final four. this is going to be crazy. can't wait.
UCLA ALL THE WAY!!!!! GO KEVIN LOVE AND THE BRUINS!!!!
^ There is NO way that is correct. Have you watched Memphis play this tourney? I can't make an argument that Kansas is better than UNC, but I do know Kansas is more experienced and matches up VERY well with UNC.
don't live in the past reece. if you want to think about the past then here's one for you.
how many championships does ucla have?
besides florida only won back to back cause the starting five decided to stay in school cause they weren't gonna get picked high in the draft that year.
lets hope this saturday i can make you eat your words about memphis beating ucla. if ucla loses, i can't show my face around you. i would be too ashamed.
I'm just wondering why you all think UCLA will put it on Memphis? I'm curious because Memphis has the most athletic team left in the tournament, by far. The only real concern with them was their foul shooting and they shot over 90% last game and 85% the game before.
besides ucla has some talent and their defense is really good through out the tournament. only their offense was a bit lacking but their defense won them the game. now if collison and ship can get in to the game, they will win. so far its been all k love.
Memphis and UNC with UNC taking it all. I hope that Kansas looses just so those dumbass fans will have one more thing to whine about. Roy helped them that much and they are upset that he left. I dont see how he could turn it down a second time. He turned down many other offers, college and NBA, because he didnt want to get out. He just got the one offer he wanted.
Ive enjoyed this tourney. And to think, Carolina almost picked up Currey
"K-Love is a G, but he'll have problems facing Dorsey and Dozier."
I think it'll be the other way around. And Memphis still has it in them to miss a ton of free throws. They shot like 58% going into the tourney, and what like 80% throughout? They aren't gonna shoot from the charity stripe like that their whole careers.
Dude, good shooters shouldn't miss NEAR as many free throws as they did this season. They shot much better last year and Calipari has just been on this jocks about how pathetic it is. They weren't getting lucky with free throws last round they were just money. Can anyone argue they are the most talented team left?
Also, K-Love is a big ole' boy, but Dorsey is twice as athletic and just as physical. He shut down quite a few big men this tournament. See Raymar Morgan and Jarvis Varnado.
well someone said they are the most athletic team left i would have to also mention kansas in that category they are a very fast team and very athletic i think memphis and kansas are very similar teams. thats why i want it to come down to them in the final and then kansas ftw. we shall see
"Also, K-Love is a big ole' boy, but Dorsey is twice as athletic and just as physical. He shut down quite a few big men this tournament. See Raymar Morgan and Jarvis Varnado."
I just don't think it's about any of these guys in the first place. IMO the Bruins have maybe a slight advantage here but much more problematic for UCLA will be Rose. I can't believe he hasn't gotten more hype this year/tourney, he's off the chain.
If they can make Rose a little uncomfortable, it's a game, probly going to UCLA. If Rose goes nuts, he'll be playing UNC in the title game.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. stupid idiots. everyone else wanted to be the hero and they refuse to pass the ball to a freshmen which is kevin love. you could totally see it. they weren't even looking for him in the second half. bunch of idiots. i am glad love is leaving stupid ucla and entering the draft next year. they don't deserve a player like that.
yeah but with a extra passes and driving to the basket they could of opened up for love. they could of passed then but idiots kept taking jump shots even though it was falling. anyways the memphis defense was killer and their offense got it really going. mad props to memphis.
Alridge is pretty raw and so is Kahn, but neither of them are NEAR as athletic as Dorsey or Dozier. They still don't have an answer for Rose. Collison better get his game up.
hahahah i told you Memphis still had potential to phuck things up at the line!!!! I mean all the credit to Kansas for putting them there, and then draining a CLUTCH 3 to go to OT, but it was Memphis' game to win.
Reece if I decide to make some wagers on college hoops next season, i'm coming to you for advice dude. VERY nice job the past couple weeks making picks, you know your hoops bud.
haha, i prolly got a little lucky, but i do love college bball. i missed 8 games the entire bracket... i wish i would have had a computer to do the ESPN challenge...
ALL games are won at the line..if ya can't make the free ones, then U have no chance..any kid 12 and over should shoot at least 7-8 of 10!...congrats to all the Kansas fans!
