I don’t know if I like a Villanova matchup or not. I don’t know much about this year’s team, but Jay Wright is a fantastic coach and his teams are usually super fast and can shoot lights out from deep.
They said the same thing about Nevada the year we throttled them.
This team, more than probably any recent ISU - I don't really care where they end up. With the exception of Duke, I think they can stay with anyone if they play like they did in this tournament.
At the same time, they recently got waxed by a WVU team that isn't any better than most 12 or lower seeds.
This team's destiny will be determined by them more than the location or team they play.
This seems like the best option. Tulsa would have a lot of ISU fans and it avoids the 1 seeds
The Big 12 is fairly unusual in that there really wasn’t a dominant team. I’m wondering if giving ISU, KU, KSU and TT all 4 seeds wouldn’t make some sense given the overall quality of the league.
That has now been updated to a 4 seed in Hartford against Northeastern with Villanova as the 3.
It’s important to remember how much the NCAA tries to create storylines with the bracket. There always seems to be a big rematch between blue bloods. They’re a business so it’s important not to count that out. They always try to get the highest ratings possible.
There are no good 2nd round matchups. Everybody is ******* good by that point.
my girlfriend just informed me she has never filled out a bracket before. In fact, she had no idea the tournament even existed. How do you go 23 years without ever hearing about this??
She will probably win our bracket pool
She will probably win our bracket pool
So many questions.
First, how does one go that long without hearing about it?
Second, WTH you doing not informing her before now?
Third, how hot is she that you can put up with her lack of awareness in this area?
Sure, but aren't we worried about multiple bigs on the floor at one time? They have two kids they play at the post. Would be advantage for them against MJ. Not saying they wouldn't/couldn't beat Houston, just commenting on the bracket that had ISU playing them in the second round.
Pretty sure he has graduated. Guess they do play like 13 or 14 guys though.
Back in my college days the rock chalk parody chant I wanted to get going was “Go home Jayhawks, **** you.”
Looking at it in my slightly older perspective it may not be a good look to have an entire arena chanting **** you to an opponent.
But it sure would be satisfying.
Excellent roundup, $.
I also put Houston as a 2 ahead of U-M, agree the committee probably won't go that route. If Michigan beats MSU today, for sure it'll be switched.
I haven't looked too deeply into regional placements --- this is first year in a while I didn't do full bracketing during the season.
The good thing about being a four or five seed is we probably have a more winnable game in the second outing and a longer break between games to prepare for the one seed. As a six seed it is a short turn around to meet a one seed. Irregardless where and when, the clones need to beat the team in front of them. It's always "win or go home".
