Well yeah technically anything could happen, but Indiana isn’t that of a bad matchup for us since they only have one post.
WVU plays an ugly style of ball where they just chuck the ball, get the offensive rebound and repeat until they score. And they are good at it. Our bigs will be eaten up just like they were against Purdue.
I’m really hoping for the SFA upset, because I think ND is definitely beatable. At least a 40% chance of winning that game in my mind.
Not to be your echo, but I do remember you adamantly saying we were going to kill vcu. I think that was the only successful bet I had that tournament.
Always take great guard play against a press great guards will eat it alive. Gives them too much freedom in the open court once a trap is split
Xavier Wisconsin then possibly Xavier west va. Crazy tough match ups. I feel bad for the whole east
Could Xavier handle press va if they get by badgers? I really want to Xavier final four because people would write them off but man that press then either unc or Kentucky. Tough tough situation
Anyone else sick of duke getting gifts every tourney. I mean I like Oregon a lot but I still think they might be weakest one. Then they get Baylor too. Sets them up for possible run. Although I think Oregon and them would be great game.
Baylor and Duke can both be upset very easily in round 1. You might never see that match up
The East is this year’s bracket of death. Meanwhile, MSU gets another soft path.
Mark Hollis anyone?? MSU always gets rewarded even when they don’t get rewarded.
… and I say that without sympathy for M’s draw, since they get Tulsa in the play-in and are lucky to be in at all. But if I were a UNC, Xavier, Kentucky, WVU, or Indiana fan, I’d be pissed.
Ed.: Actually, I’m happy Indiana is pissed. I really hope Kentucky beats them badly.
Don’t forget west va. I’m pissed it ruined my bracket plans. I really felt those were all contenders
If they were all in different regions, I could have picked a final four of UNC, WVa, Xavier, and UK.
Meanwhile, MSU gets Utah, Iowa State, and UVa.
It’s a damn shame! Whoever gets out will have earned it that’s for sure
I am pumped for this. Tulsa is a game made in the heavens for us. If we do beat Tulsa, Notre Dame matches up well for us and are very beatable. We got a far better draw then Vandy or Wichita St.
Then we would have West Virginia waiting for us. That could get real ugly. Although two wins this year would be pretty awesome.
The first two teams we would play are both ranked outside the top 200 in defending the 3. We feast on teams like that. I feel Duncan and Aubrey can get going we should win the first 2 games.
Just wanted to point out, Caris LeVert looked good jumping around celebrating Kam Chatman’s game winner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDJK-3HRAyI
Good. I hope he is nearing full health and is able to fully participate in draft workouts. Kid deserves to be drafted in the first round.
He should make the surprise come back for the tourney. He could give us some minutes off the bench still
