Wowzers

[TheKilo]

FREE THROWS

 

HIT THEM

 

lol you've got to be dying right now.

[TheKilo]

How can it be 9.3 when it was just at 9.0? It should be like 7 and change.

 

And now an MSU steal! LOL

[msubulldogs21]

i am officially shell shocked

[TheKilo]

Clutch from Turner.

[msubulldogs21]

[TheKilo]

CONGRATS DUDE

 

This tournament is better for having Varnado and this team in it.

[msubulldogs21]

MAROON! WHITE! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! MISSISSIPPI STATE! WOOO! YOUR DAMN RIGHT!

[TheKilo]

Selection Sunday in about 7 minutes.

[TheKilo]

Louisville #1 overall seed.

[TheKilo]

WOW UConn gets the last #1 seed.

[Cocos Disciples]

Louisville, Pittsburgh, UNC, UConn. Memphis gets the shaft.

[TheKilo]

Louisville' date=' Pittsburgh, UNC, UConn. Memphis gets the shaft.[/quote']

 

Not sure you can say they got the shaft. I wouldn't have picked them but it's hardly a "shafting".

[TheKilo]

BINGO on Arizona

[Cocos Disciples]

Fine, they drew the short stick.

 

Aww, Ohio State plays Siena. I was hoping they'd play Michigan like Kilo predicted.

[YanksHater213]

The midwest is a f***ing doozy.

 

MSU loses in the second round to BC/USC, Arizona/Utah is one of the toughest games to pick I've ever seen.

 

There are about 5 or 6 teams I could see winning this quarter.

[TheKilo]

West seems destined for a UConn/Memphis regional final.

[YanksHater213]

UConn really lucked out... pretty weak region IMO.

[TheKilo]

The South is going to be a really, really good region I think - Oklahoma and UNC still out there, potential Hansborough/Griffin matchup.

[TheKilo]

Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Arizona getting in is baaad news for Penn State.

[TheKilo]

Overall a decent job by the committee - I would have left out Wisconsin and put in Penn State.

 

Other than that, no real snubs, IMO.

[CrespoBlows]

San Diego St. got snubbed over Arizona.

[YanksHater213]

The bracket is really tough for me to piece together right now...

[TheKilo]

Yeah I'm going to have to look at this very closely.

[YanksHater213]

As of right now my Final Four:

 

Wake, UConn, Florida State, and UNC

 

The Midwest and East are the 2 toughest sections in my eyes as I don't like either of the 1 and 2 seeds in those sections.

[CrespoBlows]

Wisconsin is going to drop FSU.

[YanksHater213]

Wisconsin is going to drop FSU.

 

If FSU is going to get dropped, it won't be by Big Ten bubble wonder Wisconsin (I agree with Kilo, I would have taken PSU over Wisc).

 

They're really hot right now, I changed my mind on this one. Usually hot teams who are mid-level seeds will win a round or two then go down in flames. Xavier is pretty underrated right now, I now like Xavier there to beat FSU in R32.

[CrespoBlows]

Sleepers : West Virginia, UCLA, BYU, Arizona St.

 

Deep Sleepers : USC could win three games.

[TheKilo]

I'll do a region by region breakdown with winners, dark horses, upset specials, and overrated teams.

[YanksHater213]

The bottom half of the midwest is a joke trying to pick correctly. MSU is a weak 2 seed, BC and USC both have upset potential of MSU, WV/Dayton is a toss up, Kansas isn't the team they were last year.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see MSU, Kansas, WV, BC, or USC go to the elite 8 there.
