I hope you guys get the

8/9 seed in Kentucky's region... and I hope you beat them. UConn can definitely beat UK. That would be a great game in my opinion.

 

[Ricky1Moore]

Well obviously you would like us to beat Kentucky for you

The basketball fan in me wants to see SU/UK in the title game... but of course every teams' fans want every 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 seed to lose first round, right?

Rather have the 8-9 game in Kansas, Mich St or whomever's region. Better yet give us a 7!!!..........I hope I'm wrong but the lack of winning the rebounding battles will kill Cuse against someone prior to the FF........matchups are the key, if a team has 2 or 3 shooters they could open up the zone.......but again they are big "ifs" and your length will drive people crazy!!

Kansas yes, Mich St no, I don't want any parts of an Izzo coached team in the tourney, especially one that is back to rebounding the ball again.

Michigan State would be fine, not overly concerned with their talent level though so that would be my odds on favorite to play 2nd round.........Not sure we have an answer for Thomas Robinson at Kansas...........

All I know is some 1 or 2 seed on Sunday is gonna see you in the second round matchup and be very angry

It would be weird if we are the #9 in KU's bracket because even though they are definitely a better team, I'd argue that we are considerably more talented. #1 seeds don't typically (ever) see that in round 2.

I want KU or Duke as the #1 in our side. Of course, with this team, round 1 isn't close to a gimme.

I'd put good money on UConn beating Kansas

Committee is going to have a difficult time seeding us... They won't want to screw any number 1s...

We can beat any team in the country that sucks at rebounding as much as we do. That's why we've played Cuse so tough 3 times (the last 4 minutes of the first game notwithstanding).

That's why I would love to play Duke. We would destroy them inside.

Kentucky would be a really bad matchup for Uconn I think (they are a tought matchup for anyone). Kidd Gilchrist and Davis are really good rebounders and the former plays balls to the wall, with few peers in the ncaa.

Can someone beat them? Sure, and Cuse is one of those teams.

It'll take one of those two guys getting in foul trouble or Teague and Jones losing their cool.

I want no part of Duke either. AO would have two offensive fouls within the 1st minute of the game:

AO gets the ball in the post, Plumlee 1 falls- offensive foul (Plumlee 2 high fives 1 and Plumlee 3 slaps the floor from the bench)
AO gets the ball in the post, Plumlee 2 falls- offensive foul (Plumlee 1 high fives 2 and Plumlee 3 slaps the floor from the bench and hugs Wojo)

the funny thing about this thread is that syracuse is a perennial under achiever in march.

That would suuk, big-time.

If UConn were the 9 seed in Michigan State's region, I would have put $100 on UConn.
