watch me fall Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The SEC in general is weaker than ever. If there are more then 2 or 3 teams that make the tournament I'd be stunned. I'm betting at least 4 teams make it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bakerian08 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 i predict marquette over Uconn tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 We'll find out a lot about Marquette this week...Connecticut tonight, Louisville Sunday. Can't wait 'til the Tournament. There doesn't seem to be the usual 2 or 3 teams that are head and shoulders above the rest. Anyone watch the KU/OU game Monday night? Wow! What a game. The Jayhawks probably are too young to make a deep run, but as long as Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins are healthy, they'll compete with anybody. If Griffin comes back OK, Oklahoma is talented enough to make the Final Four. Right now, I'd probably pick North Carolina to win it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bakerian08 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 i don't know who i would pick to win. everything seems to go back and forth so much this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 i don't know who i would pick to win. everything seems to go back and forth so much this year Yeah, every time a team got to #1, I'm pretty sure they lost the game or second game right thereafter. It's ridiculous. It's also generally a good thing, because it implies a relative level of parity among NCAA teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bakerian08 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 it's going to be an interesting tourney.but its also going to wreak havoc on my bracket, since i'm trying to win first prize at my college's competition this year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bakerian08 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 yes Georgetown! it's about time they start coming back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 MARCH MADNESS BEGINNETH ! Unfortunately, the Cats are bringing a 4 game losing streak into the SEC tournament, and I think we're pretty much gonna have to ace the thing to get to the dance... At least we can root for Morehead State. Hoo boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 How many teams do you think the Big 10 should get in the NCAA? Joe Lunardi now has 8. (???) I think that's B.S. I think there should be a rule that no more than half of a conference's teams can get in. MAYBE one more than half. But 8 out of 11?! Minnesota and Michigan are both 9-9 in the leauge (and Michigan has 12 losses overall). I'd rather see a team like Creighton or St. Mary's get a shot. Or even Kansas State, who will be the #4 seed in the Big 12 Tournament but as of right now has no chance to get in, barring victories against Texas and Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament.

LouisvilleGreg Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Just saw my #2 team, VCU play their best game of the season last night crushing George Mason 71-50 in the CAA Championship to secure an automatic NCAA bid. I rushed the court and everything. Senior Eric Maynor (who knocked out Duke 2 years back) had 25 points and 8 assists and just took the game over in a 10 point stretch in the first half. Sophomore center Larry Sanders set CAA tourney records with 7 blocks and a totally ridiculous 20 boards, to go along with 18 points. The team is playing their best ball of the season and will likely be a 9 or 10 seed that no higher seed wants anything to do with. I look for them to win their opening round game and probably play a top seeded team very, very close in the second round. But honestly if they keep out of foul trouble and play with the same drive that they have the last two weeks, no one wants any part of this team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moe_Syzlak Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Cuse by 10.Whoa! I guess UCONN had nothing in the tank huh? Was it at the end of the 5th OT that the F that was doing a good job in the paint for Thabeet fouled out? I would imagine UCONN had no D after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
