Who you got today, Ku, WVU, TxT?

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Ku has the home crowd, so I'll take them in a squeaker.
WVU won't test Nova's guards like they do ours.
TxT is really good - Evans should carry them over Purdue without the giant.
And Duke in the outlier.

Hope all three win but I don't see HuggyBear beating Nova. KU and TT win close ones to put 3 Big12 teams in the Elite 8.

KU should win. I still don't think Clemson is that good.

For some reason I think Purdue rallies and beats Texas Tech. Even without Haas they have some guys that can really play in Vince and Carson Edwards.

Nova has too good of guard play and coaching to be bothered by the press. Nova will win by 10+

Duke will beat whoever the hell they are playing.

KU and TT should win. WVU is going to have to play damn good basketball. If this was a 2-day turnaround game, I'd think they'd have a better shot at Nova.

Any of the four games, taken individually, I could imagine going either way. Considering how chaotic the tournament has been to this point, I almost anticipate the dwindling chalk that remains will filter through, largely unscathed.

So I'll go as routine as possible: Villanova, Purdue, Kansas, Duke.

Anarchy on the left. Order on the right.

(Also a handy book title for a Conservative Manifesto :D)

For some reason ever since I watched ISU beat Tech down in Hilton, I just can't come around to the fact that they're elite (pun intended).

I went straight chalk in my pools, but I'm pretty well hosed for winning all but one. I'm rooting for the Big XII now.

What I think will happen:
- I think this ends up being one of those WVU games where they can't hit shots and lose by 18.
- KU wins going away.
- Duke and Cuse are close at halftime with Duke taking a double digit lead after halftime before winning by 8
- Purdue gets hot from 3 and hits clutch free throws at the end to put a scrappy Tech team away by 6.

I have to root for KU since my daughter chose them and it keeps her alive in her pool. I will also root for WVU and TT. And hope like hell Syracuse upsets Duke.

We could have 4 of the Elite Eight from the Big 12.

And then 3 of the Final Four.

Damn this conference was unfair this season.

I bet we finish in the middle/on the bubble of the other high-major conferences.

In my bracket, I have all three leaving tonight. As it actually stands today, I think TT and KU will move on.

First time I've been correct all year. :eek:

Ku seems to have the toughest road going forward, followed by TxT. But three in the Final4 would be one short of unbelievable, wouldn't it? Chaching!
