As a 5th seed in BET, UConn has highest chance to win

[wheelerdog]

Took a bit of a gamble this year and bought tickets to the semifinals. We usually go on Thursday, but Friday works better with our schedules. Gonna be biting my nails in that quarterfinal game, although I'm looking forward to being in the building for a Friday night at the Garden either way.

Good luck.

I actually like Providence if they would cut out the hack, flop and flail nonsense and just play hoops. That stuff helps them a little at home, but doesn’t play with referees on the road, and will be the reason Providence gets bounced early from the NCAA Tournament.

Bitter and another prediction. Great stuff. You are the energizer bunny of bad takes.

Cooley felt the league was lacking a Pitt and decided to take up the mantle.

They don’t award style points. Providence is the defending regular season champions and are currently tied for 2nd. Whatever they’re doing is working. The goal is to win games, and that’s all that matters.

Watch out for Nova.

Watch out for Nova.

That season finale at their place is going to be as difficult as any road game UConn has had on their schedule this year. That game is their Senior Day game.

Excellent points. Injuries have to be factored in.

Not just IF Zach will be playing, but will he be helping or hurting his team after sitting out a month to 6 weeks. He could be playing but still not be fully himself, in which case he might not be helping them much if at all. It remains to be seen.

Villanova with Justin Moore back is an interesting case. Moore is obviously not himself yet. Shooting only 30% from the floor, 26% on 3’s, and 67% from the line. Those are not Justin Moore numbers. BUT they are playing better as a team with him in the lineup because he does other things. You never know.

Hard to believe Moore is playing better than ArSeedyYakonov....
