Wes Durham predicts a Miami-San Diego St. final

What is Boeheim picking?

Boogers

The ACC basically just hired a guy to find the best way for the conference to be able to lobby the NCAA every year to get more of their teams in.
They've been complaining about not getting enough teams as is which is nuts. Miami is in it, but Duke and Virginia had pretty weak showings.

The tide has turned. I think the BE has surpassed the ACC and climbing up.

But who is Barkley picking

Barkley pick UConn. We are Doomed!

This is not turning into an elite premium thread

So the radio voice of the ACC tournament & the Atlanta Falcons was on the "Dusty & Danny" show on Sirius-XM. He predicts a Miami-San Diego St. final. He says that Miami's big men will be too tough for UConn to deal with. I'll put my faith in Sonogo, Clingan, & Karaban...

UConn is better. If they play to their standard, they're going to win.. regardless of what Miami does. UConn does everything well that you need to win. They defend at an elite level, they REBOUND, they can shoot and they score in the paint. Sanogo didn't even shoot well against Gonzaga but he's a presence and you must account for him. And they don't have any non-scorers on the floor.. since Coach Hurley figured out how to use AJJ more effectively

I thought he picked us vs Gonzaga, no?

I think no. The only one of the tv group to do so.

Late to the game on this one but I will pretend I know who Wes Durham is and I'll be outraged over his predictions.

I always have a meme ready for this type of situation:

I think Miamis run to the F4 is very, very overrated. I believe that Uconn will be the first real top level team they will be facing. They beat mid major drake, a 12 loss Indiana team who beat exactly who? They beat Houston who is a good team but lets be real they play in the AAC. Do they only lose 3 games if they were in the big east? And texas while a good team didnt have any true bigs of high quality. Go look at the KP ratings for all those teams. Miami is facing its first big test in the final 4 against us. Im not underestimating them or saying theyre not as good but what i am saying is theyre run isnt as great as people are making out. Its not like theyre run is that much better than ours. If they had run through Marquette, MSU, Kstate and Purdue.

As long as Sir Charles picks Miami, we're fine

 

[Khal Drogo]

feel like Clingan will be big to stop Miami's penetrating guards

Need Sanogo to leave his man and block some shots. I know you riisk the dish but hate to see uncontested layups.

 

[jibsey]

We have a great offense but let’s face it the entire thing is our defense and that is what Hurley has gotten them to buy into and that is his calling card. Everything stems from that. And even if they lock our perimeter shooters down or our shooting is off Sanogo and Clingan can score…..I hope.

Houston was #1 in KenPom when Miami played them.

Disrespect your opponents at your own risk.

Ooof, that’s gonna leave a mark.

I genuinely have no idea what point he was trying to make, Texas is also KenPom #5 and they beat them too

Sasser was hurt for UH, and Disu didn't even play for Texas.

Not only does UConn have 2nd unit defense fit for a starting 5, they can score too. It's something that UConn has not had for about a decade, let alone before in Hurley's tenure.
