I know this is slightly early and nothing to take away from last nights win (an incredible one for that matter), but we are 8-0 and let's keep this train rolling!!
Here's the bracket and matchups:
Game 1
ISU (8-0) Vs George Mason (5-4) ESPNU 530 PM
Game 2
Oregon State (4-2) vs Akron (2-2) ESPNU 730 PM
Game 3
South Carolina (2-3) vs Saint Mary's (7-0) ESPNU 11 pm
Game 4
Boise Stat (8-1) vs Hawaii (6-2) ESPNU 1 am
Some records will change with teams having games before then. What do you guys think as far as potential matchups? I'm guessing we'll face Oregon State 2nd round and handle them pretty easily. The championship game's assumption would be either Saint Mary's or Boise State. They play today so we'll get a better idea who is the better team. It was hard to judge Boise off playing Kentucky when they were struggling to shoot the ball. I like our chances of winning this tournament. Hopefully, we won't be too confident, stay focused based on location, and grab some much needed wins and move us up in the rankings.
I look for Kane to continue with his great leadership on leading this team through the tourney. It should give us a good feel as to where they are at as a team in a tourney atmosphere. Bench guys may need some extra experience in the early game.
