Â [/ QUOTE ] Duke is a 6 because of the name "Duke" and "Coach K" LBSU will NOT upset UT, remember Lofton. Don't overestimate Wisconsin either, there big man is out and if you stop Alondo Tucker, anyone can beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcecilgolf 11 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Please people, can we just have one thread where there is not a WVU discussion. Half the people on the board think they should be in, half think they shouldn't, just get over it. They aren't it, don't worry about it. Â Â Anyway, I am really liking G'Town after they dominated Pitt in the Big East Championship. I don't think UNC will do much as long as Hansbrough has the mask, they need his points. I still think Texas A&M has a great shot at the title, they have the PTP who can make the shots in Law and a good veteran team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano5 14 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 no way Texas A&M gets past Louisville..they are playing in Lexington which is practically a home game for Louisville... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcecilgolf 11 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Sorry Ben, but no way Texas does anything this year. Â They are a good team, young, but still good. BUT they lack endurance, Durant was about to die in the Kansas State game and in Kansas game. He actually told Barnes that he couldn't play the whole game if they were going to full-court press. Â They lack the stamina to win 6 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH31 2,532 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I agree there, but as someone stated on ESPN, Kevin Durant is good enough to win the first 2 games by himself. If he can get some help, from someone other than Augustin, they got a good shot of knocking off someone else. Especially if Durant is on, like he had been the past few games. I got them knockin off UNC on my bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, an interesting fact I heard about WVU yesterday morning on ESPN. Out of the 21 wins, 13 came against teams with an RPI of 151 or lower. WVU didn't get in because their non-conference schedule was horrible, somewhere in the mid-200s. Imagine how low it would have been without UCLA...

dcecilgolf 11 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Every prediction is purely speculation, that is why it is great. I just don't think Texas is mature enough to do much this year. If Durant were to stay one more year(not gonna happen) they would easily be favored next year. Â I am looking forward to the potential UNC UT matchup in the Sweet Sixteen. Two very young teams who have the potential to do some damage in the years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year in CBB was nothing but parity from the top down. UConn win is not impressive even though they were in the Top 10 when you beat them because they didn't even make the Big East Tourney.

vthokies4life 10 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Ah man, I so have tournament fever. I can't wait for it to start TOMORROW!! It's gonna be a big day. Gonna be some big upsets, shakeups, close calls, and everything else that goes into making March a time of complete Madness. I saw this quote, which, the more i think about it could happen: Â When VCU fought back for that incredible win against George Mason last week, I remember thinking to myself, "I love these guys! I hope they go against a team I don't like in Round 1!" Six days later, the Rams are an 11-seed going against Duke. You have to love March Madness. This will be the heart-wrenching loss that causes Josh McRoberts to break down like Dr. Meredith Grey after watching a handsome fireman succumb to third-degree burns. Â Duke, yeah, they're having a down year. It's not a slim chance by any means that they get put out of the tourney in the first round. Â I'm gonna be looking for Winthrop to make a splash. They're a really solid mid major that is just waiting to stir up some dust in the tournament. Also, Long Beach State, who has already been mentioned on here, is gonna beat Tennessee and UVA. Â Although I can't guarantee you on these picks, I can guarantee you one thing: It's gonna be a GREAT March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveFan09 50 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I look for VCU to win..im also pulling for UVA, VT, ODU and ORU..look for someupsets baby ...right now tho wvu and umass go eers haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
