Teams we are rooting for today

[mauconnfan]

That is basically the way I am looking at it. I know UConn beat Marquette twice, but that doesn’t mean Marquette can’t beat them. I know Creighton has beaten UConn twice, but both games could’ve gone either way And UConn can beat them even though they have not yet. In 2014 UConn got triple crowned by Louisville and none of the 3 games were that close.

Yep agree. And quite honestly from my point of view I’d be happy to play Creighton rather than Marquette.

The attitude should be "we'll take care of business today and not care about anything else".

"When the BE tournament begins, later, when the NCAA tournament begins, we'll take on whoever they put in front of us".

That is how fans of a team capable of making a run think.

I think this is 100% on the money. Match ups matter when your team is good but has some serious flaws. For the UConn 99, UConn 2004, UConn 2009, UConn 2011, Nova 2016, Nova 2018, Kentucky 1996, Kentucky 2012 and some other great teams I am neglecting to mention, I didn't care about the match ups. I knew those teams would advance far.

But UConn 2014, I absolutely cared more about the matchups, hell they were trailing for most of the 1st round game against St. Joe's. Also that team just couldn't beat Louisville as they got triple crowned and none of the 3 games were really that close.

Same with last year's UConn team-I knew Maryland was a bad match for UConn, but that doesn't mean UConn didn't squander some chances against them. How many times has a team outrebounded another team by +11 in the first half and find themselves down 11 pts at halftime?!

We need the 4-seed in the BET. Much rather face Providence than Nova in the semis.

Id love to win the BET. I'd rather get to the FF

First couple results go our way today: Arkansas and Alabama lose which moves us up to no worse than #18 on the S-Curve. We need to get to #12 by Selection Sunday.

3 seed you get the winner of the first round 11-6 game. Maybe G'town? 4 seed you get a fresh 5 seed, Marquette most likely. Look for the best opp to win the first game.

Don’t buy “fresh”. Exact opposite. In these unbalanced brackets the team with a game under its belt wins more than they should with the momentum. I like our chances with Marquette.

LOL Kaluma’s first shot vs SH is a bricked 3 that almost landed at half court

Somewhat off-topic but Texas State, #1 seed in Sun Belt, goes down in quarterfinals to #8 seed Louisiana. It’s March.

That will handle maybe a 3rd of the Sparks steakhouse bill in NYC next week, but we are on our way.

The last-minute Syracuse implosion against Miami today was pure deliciousness.

So great. Almost a lock now for a losing season would have to win 2 ACC tourney games just to get back to 500. Love it

Nah. Bring Nova on. What, me worry?

 

[DrZzzz]

I have know idea how the brackets work. I'd like Creighton, Providence, and Nova in that order.

 

[3rdbass]

Well Seton hall, Nova and Maybe Providence it is. I preferred Marquette over Seton Hall due to matchup but whatever. Huskies just go and win it all.
