FAB MELO

[ajk4st8]

Syracuse was 2-1 without Melo earlier this year.

They would have been 1-2, but was bailed out by a non goaltending call that gave them a win against WVU.

So jealous of kstates bracket

 

[VikesFan22]

This will kill the brackets by people who over-react. Syracuse is still good.

Agreed. They can still win a couple games.

 

[3TrueFans]

I just have them losing one game earlier now, still beating KState though.

 

[bringmagicback]

I opened my mouth about him being suspended and now there is a mass bracket recall at work.

Lol.

I have them losing to KState anyway. They are 128th in rebounding and now their leading rebounder is out. Pair that with kstate bigs I think its worth an upset consideration.

Plus I hate the east.

How long will Boeheim last at this rate?

 

[Cydkar]

Why so many people turning in brackets so early?

Why so many people turning in brackets so early?

Because the tourny starts tonight?

I had them losing to K-State, anyway. The wildcats have to be happy about this. Dang, I wish we would have got their draw.

I still don't understand why we didn't get their draw. We were seeded higher on the NCAA s curve #31 versus #36 yet we get matched against the #1 seeded team while they get matched against the #3 seeded team.

We also get the benefit of playing a #9 seed that is ranked #26 by the NCAA on their s curve while KSU gets Southern Miss that is ranked #52 on the NCAA s curve.

I would definitely love to hear the politics behind this seeding. I guess finishing two games a head of KSU in the conference and beating them twice didn't count for anything.

610 in KC is fantastic radio right now. The 2-6 host is a Syracuse grad (like all sports media members) and he is in epic meltdown mode. I think he might cry, fantastic!

I also had K State beating them before this news. The K-State model can be very disruptive especially with so little time to prepare.

I also had to laugh at the poster who smugly said they don't turn in their brackets until Thursday, after 4 games are played.

 

[MNCyGuy]

Wow, that totally changed that whole region of my bracket.

 

[huntt26]

In all the pools I'm in, you don't have to fill out your bracket until 11:00 on Thursday. (Yahoo!, ESPN, office)

 

[cstrunk]

The play in games shouldn't count.

Thank you. This is gold.

 

[BloodyBuddy]

Really wish ISU and KState were switched around in seeding now.

 

[VikesFan22]

Since when do you have to turn in your bracket before the play in games? You don't. Not sure why some of you are saying you have to.

 

[SC Cy]

Really wish ISU and KState were switched around in seeding now.

Good call. Crap, ISU got screwed in comparison.

 

[mt85]

Good call. Crap, ISU got screwed in comparison.

The seeding of ISU and KSU definitely doesn't add up. Clearly KSU drew the easier 8 seed despite finishing two games behind ISU and losing twice to ISU. It is hard to imagine that there weren't some back room politics at play.

 

[DesertClone1]

had southern Miss beating them.
