My vote is usually the SEC too but this year they've struggled enough. I hope the big ten falls flat on their faces.
I generally love when the ACC blows up - weaken it so they need to increase their basketball brand.
Then you must be happy because the Acc looks grossly overrated.
Nobody outside of Dook is really any good. And Dook can’t shoot. Hopefully a team with more horses can take advantage of that
Right now with PN out, teams are doubling Boozer. And yeah, if you can shut down Evans, they're then pretty limited shooting. They have some very good defenders, but can be shut down offensively.
Carolina with Wilson was good. I would have picked them to maybe surprise and go far because that huge lineup is just too hard for most teams to match up with.
Go Broncos! I have several friends who went there, from my time living in the valley. They had a pretty solid team back then.
Rupp Rafters would have an absolute meltdown if Squid advances and they get knocked out by Santa Clara in round one.
One of my biggest failings is lurking on other boards after L's. But I love it. Especially RR. The dysfunction is staggering.
There is really nothing else like RR - it's a catastrophic meltdown after ever loss. There isn't a close second TBH. If they do move off Pope anytime soon, especially after this year which many are wanting, what other coach will want to go in there? They'll throw money at you, sure, but the magnifying glass would be unrelenting.
SEC is 5-1, not 4-1. Went 4-1 yesterday (11 Texas over BYU, 5 Vanderbilt over McNeese, 4 Arkansas over Hawaii, 10 Texas A&M over St. Mary's, lost 8 Georgia vs. SLU).
16 games today with 19 power conference teams so 3 head-to-head
"Big Four" is an error 😎
This whole dynamic has made me almost root for Calipari since they ran him off. Plus the fact he beat St John’s last year
Thanks. Missed the Arkansas win.
Yeah. It was somewhat painful to type that. But these are the only conferences with more than three bids. And they each have at least eight. Maybe “Big Bid” conferences? Or “Selection Committee Favorites”?
Thurs/Fri = organzied chaos of delisciousness. Sat/Sun - more refined, seat to get to the coveted S16 and better games.
