UConn fans looking at bracket, we got screwed. UF fans looking at bracket…we got screwed. Should make for a fun matchup if it happens. Walter Clayton gets his chance at revenge.
They’ll be haunted by the ghost of Scottie Wilbekin. They stand no chance.

They're very good but I don't trust a team that takes bad shots and can't make FTs or 3's
The ft's are a big concern. Not shooting many threes is why I think they're so damn good and so difficult to upset. No reason to shoot many threes when u get to the rim constantly and rebound everything. The teams who need their threes to fall are the teams who usually get upset, IMO.

Oklahoma had a really good OOC. This looks like a good team, they had a hard time in the SEC but they handled business

Arizona is a 4 and yet hasn’t done more than Creighton. The Big East is toast. Will never be respected by the committee again.
The Big East has 5 of the last 10 Nattys.
SEC Zero.
That's what this is about. Keep moving the goalposts until they have every angle covered to get their guys over the hump then relegate us to a third tier league.

Tourney doesn't get good until the 3rd or 4th round. The people who like the first weekend are the same people who don't watch football until the Super Bowl. Give me the big teams playing each other
Is this Tim Brando?

I don't hate our match up with Oklahoma, but we might as well not take the floor against Florida. That will be a slaughter

There may be some bad news here. Chances are very slim that we'll be able to wear our home whites in the national title game. It'll be the first time ever for that.

2014?

After watching a bunch of conference championship games, I thought the Gators looked like the best heading into the NCAA tournament and a problematc matchup for UConn, if we get past Oklahoma. They have the quickness, length and athleticism to give us fits. They can flat out play and I fear they'll completely overwhelm us on both ends of the floor.

If by some miracle we do get past them, we'd likeky face SJU, with their relentless style of play, which is our Kryptonite. IMO, it's the worst case scenario. I was hoping we would be put in Dook's region.

Well we dug our own hole so we'll just have to dig out of it.
Florida is very good. Definitely the 1-seed I wanted to play the least.

That said, Raleigh vs. Florida isn't quite the home court it is for Duke, and we usually travel pretty well. Also, while they have been on a roll, they've lost to Georgia in the last month, a team I'd suggest is a rung below us (despite getting a 9), so they're absolutely beatable.

Will they beat Florida? No. Probably not.

Forget you heard this but Karaban and Solo have been in a slump an due to turn it up a notch. Mahaney is heating up. Johnson inconsistent but starting to show a little fire. And our Coach has won 2 Nattys in a row. Our guard situation is far from ideal but many of these teams turn out to be "not all that" when tournament time comes. It happens every year. One game at a time.
