Flash Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I prefer teams no built around 1 team, I feel St. John's will rely too heavily on Dwight Hardy, MSU too heavily on Kalin Lucas and I just don't think K-State is a good tournament team (I had them last year, they [expletive]ed me). Ashton Gibbs nailing 3's and Wannamaker grabbing boards should be a deadly duo and Pitt has been great away from home this year. Yeah they're definitely the favorite in that bracket that's for sure. Good to see I'm not the only one not drinking the Ohio St. kool-aid in their bracket. I have the Cuse eliminating them in the Sweet 16 but UNC winning that region.

Phightins Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I know basically nothing about 1/3 or so of the teams, to be quite honest.

fish7718 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Kansas will be in the Final Four. I don't see how the Morris twins will fail in this tourney. It would be different if we were relying on Sherron Collins again, but we aren't. I'm not sure what's up with the love-fest for Notre Dame, either. Hansbrough is going to play selfish basketball all the way through, just like he did last game. I hate Duke, but Nolan Smith is a monster. I figured he would be out for the tourney after that toe injury, but hell, the dude didn't even play like he was hurt earlier. I hope K-State gets their asses kicked, too. It would be nice if it happened in the first round. I have a gut feeling it'll be an OSU/KU championship game, and it's going to take the twins to contain Sullinger.So you gonna take Pitt too and completely Rock Chalk?

Phightins Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Big East homer much? Haha, I have absolutely no rooting interest in college bball. Just happened that way. Although I may go back and change Syracuse to either OSU or Kentucky and/or UConn to Duke. I just thought another Syracuse/UConn game would be fun.

JYD Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I got OSU, Duke, Purdue and Pitt. Nothing overly shocking here. But, when you're playing with money you can't be too bold. I definitely love Purdue. The combo of Moore and Johnson is going to overpower a lot of teams. I've seen Moore take over a lot of games, and I just think those two can be the type that lead a team to the Final Four. I have OSU v. Pitt in the nat'l champ, with Pitt finally winning a Natl Champ.

Good to see I'm not the only one not drinking the Ohio St. kool-aid in their bracket. I have the Cuse eliminating them in the Sweet 16 but UNC winning that region.I am not high on UNC at all. They have stepped up big time since the beginning of the year, but when you are relying on Harrison Barnes, who is very inconsistent I just don't see it happening.And for your Florida as a two seed is a joke? We have 5 starters back from last year with the SEC player of the year in Chandler Parsons. Our frontcourt with Macklin, Tyus, Young, and Parsons I think we have the height and ability in all the games we will be facing. I have Florida going to the Final Four but I think they are going to [expletive] me because when Erving Walker and Kenny Boyton aren't on we are done.

Lkr Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm not very high on Florida, but I would give them the nod over UNC. If MSU beats UCLA. I could see UF losing to Sparty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) I don't understand why some of you are so high on UNC. They're just not that good Because they have one of the best point guards in Marshall, arguably the most talented player in the tournament in Barnes, and their front court size with Henson and Zeller is huge.They've only lost like 2 games since Marshall took over as the starter.

Flash Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 How is Kentucky not seeded ahead of UF? They beat them twice this year and when they lost to UF it was by 2 points on the road. Not to mention, UK won the SEC. Louisville should've been ahead of UF as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 People are overrating the hell out of UCONN. Ya'll really think they're going to win 10 in a row against quality opponents? Them winning the Big East tournament really over hyped them. What they achieved was incredible, 5 wins in 5 days in the best conference...but They have been fairly inconsistent all year. Some of their younger players you never know what you'll get outta them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of their younger players you never know what you'll get outta them. Their region has a lot to do with why I like them. I don't think they play Duke because I have Arizona taking them out in the Sweet 16. I think the quality of role players than UCONN has is being overshadowed by how good Kemba is. Napier is great, Oriahki is a stud and Roscoe Smith is very good. If they get passed SDSU I see them going to the Final 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboveLegit Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ohio StatePittPurdueSan Diego State The only sure fire picks for me is Ohio State and Pitt, I think both have fairly easy teams to go through in order to make it to the Final Four. I like the duo of Moore and Johnson A LOT, so I see them winning their conference. I think SDSU also makes it, I like their combination of size and athleticism, I think they have enough perimeter defense to disrupt those Duke shooters (and because when in doubt, I choose against Duke).

BasX Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 OSU, KU, Fla, SDSU OSU I feel confident about due to the faults I see in teams such as UNC, Cuse and UK. The only way KU loses to me is if the back court turns the ball over but if the offense gets going, it's tough to stop. The Morris' are extremely tough to guard and add Robinson to that and watch out. Florida I have zero confidence in anyone in that bracket, especially Pitt. SDSU is a wish moreso than a good choice cause I want Duke out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get passed SDSU I see them going to the Final 4.Napier isn't great, I like Lamb more, Oriaki s a good center though true. But UCONN is a good team but not great. You have to not have one single slip up in the NCAA tournament...I doubt they will have a flawless 10 games in a row...I'd say most teams that make runs like that in the Big East tournament generally end up doing poorly in the NCAA Tournament.
