7 Seed vs Maryland. We’re back.

I'd much rather play Iowa than Alabama. Garza is a load but Illinois was so much more athletic than they were it was nuts.
Yeah I’ve watched almost every Iowa game and it’s not even close that we’d rather play Iowa. They are a great shootIng team, and there will be times when they all have it going from 3 where you’re just going to lose, but teams who can switch on the perimeter with athletes give them problems, and their defense stinks.

Disagree, Iowa is very strong. Zags are the best team, have no problem with them getting a draw with really good teams they already beat.
pretty obvious that everyone rather play Iowa than Alabama- lol- don’t know what we are even debating.
 
All the talking heads are sold on Georgetown, we murdered them.
They're playing well and peaking at the right time. They lost to Creighton at home right before we beat them the 1st time. That team was not the one that manhandled Creighton yesterday.

I wouldn't, Garza would eat our bigs up and get Sanogo in foul trouble early and they are money from three.

I don't think Georgetown is way better than they were a week ago.

If we didn't choke in the quarterfinal game this wouldn't be a question. We would have smoked them again.

Experience in big games matter, and no one on this team has ever been in a game as big as that Creighton game. Hopefully that doesn't bite us against Maryland (who I think we're better enough than where it won't matter) or Alabama if we get there.
 
We got a great bracket. Michigan also the weakest number 1 seed.

Time to remind the nation this is UCONN. We need to smack the Terps and make some oatmeal in the next round.

We might have the toughest #2 seed in the tourney. Im going to go out on a limb here and say if we get passed Alabama we get to the final 4 as i think Michigan gets knocked off. One of their best players is out.

I forgot that Pitino was in New Rochelle. I wonder if he eats at Greasy Nick's?

We believe in Rick Pitino and Iona.

PS: Alabama scares nobody.
 
We got the best possible draw and region in my opinion. A 7 seed was huge vs an 8/9. We got the worst 1 seed in our region.
 
Look, this time of year everyone is capable of throwing a tough game at you. If we play like we did against Creighton last game we’ll lose to Maryland. If we are hitting shots, moving the ball, and rebounding we can go far. Play like you’ve been there, even though you haven’t.
 
Not saying UConn will win out but I do like the bottom half of UConns bracket. All good teams but no real scary team.

Feel the same about the bottom of the MidWest bracket.

West looks the most difficult

St. Bonaventure & LSU as 8 9 seeds- they are playing like 4 seeds.
and?? are you saying one of them makes the elite 8* because it otherwise doesnt matter to us. even if they do we'd love to play 1 of them for a trip to the final 4 instead of michigan or fsu
 
I wouldn't, Garza would eat our bigs up and get Sanogo in foul trouble early and they are money from three.
Like I said, I watch all their games. They’re a 2 seed for a reason, they‘re good. But we’re the type of defensive team that gives them problems (i.e. we can do the stuff Indiana did when they beat them 2X, and what Minnesota did). Teams that play good perimeter defense and can switch do have success slowing them down. That’s how they lose, because Garza basically always gets his. And they are so unathletic outside of Keegan Murray that their defense is just straight up bad a lot of the time.

I still think they would beat us the majority of the time, just less than Alabama would beat us.
 
I've seen Maryland. They're pretty good. Inconsistent like us. You never know which team will show up.

Bingo I have the exact same thoughts on them. I’ve seen them on all cylinders and they look real good. Then a week later have trouble scoring and get trounced.

Which team will we get or which team will our defense turn them into is the question?

Fun matchup

Yeah, don't fall for it. Creighton is soft inside. GTown did the same thing we did, feed it to the post. We just did very little from outside the paint and rebounded horribly.
 
This is how March Madness starts every year. Getting your name called is the first step.You can't pick brackets and you can't pick your opponents.

This is how Husky teams have all started their NC Tournament runs. Let's get the first W and then worry about game 2.You have no choice.

Get RJ back on the court. Control hydration. Play UConn BB.
 
Jerry Palm thinks UConn was under seeded.

I also felt that UConn (21 games) and Virginia Tech (22) were each underseeded with the Huskies getting a No. 7 seed and the Hokies a No. 10. It seems that the committee could have done a better job equivocating resumes of teams that played a different number of games, although I say that knowing that was the most difficult thing about trying to do projected brackets this season.
