bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I may have to edit my bracket Like all the ESPN dudes have the same final four as I do, and they both have UNC and Louisville in the title game...They're hardly ever right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have done three brackets...just to present different scenarios. Bracket 1 (The Legit One) Final Four: Lousiville, Washington, Pitt, Oklahoma Bracket 2 Final Four: WVU, UCONN, Pitt, UNC Bracket 3 Final Four: Wake, UCONN, Villanova, Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I thought WVU wasn't any good Miami's not in the NCAAs. But LSU is! I thought for sure they'd be in the Final Four. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogeavs 10 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Like the song "my blue heaven" ? Who is your guys Cinderella story this year? I have Western Kentucky winning their first two games, not a big Cinderella, but something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 ATTENTION FIELDGENERAL: You are signed up for two brackets. Specify which one you want to make the official one so I can delete the other one. I'm not trying to be difficult or anything, just want one bracket per user. There are many other leagues you can join if you want to make others. Please feel free to do so.

GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I don't think WVU is that good. However, they can get setup with playing Kansas (overrated), Michigan State (far overrated) and have a fourth shot at Louisville. The can't lose to Louisville AGAIN, can they?

The can't lose to Louisville AGAIN, can they? know who you consider good but some of those teams you mentioned above are above average programs and basketball teams...just my humble opinion.

Guest BEAVERTAIL Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I found it hard to not have WVU going far in some of my brackets, they do have a easier road than most IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they can get setup with playing Kansas (overrated), Michigan State (far overrated) and have a fourth shot at Louisville. The can't lose to Louisville AGAIN, can they? They are a good TEAM. Being Young and having a lack of depth and size is their problems. They have over achieved this year in the opinion's of those who get paid to say so. Dayton is a very tough first round game and I expect them to have a tight game. Kansas is good, not as good as last year but then again they lost a lot from that team. MSU is very good when they are "on." Louisville got the overall #1. This bracket is pretty tough at least the road WVU would have to travel to get there. Yes , they could lose to the Lou again. Louisville is a really good , athletic, defensive team. It would only be the 3rd time by the way this season. ONce at Louisville and Once at Morgantown. They didn't meet in the BE tourney. Syracuse Beat WVU so played Lou. Didn't I say that Louisville was the best team in the BE a lil while back? BE reg season champs and tourney champs and #1 overall seed in NCAAs. I agree that PITT and UCONN is really good and the three are probably interchangable at times, but the proof is in the accomplishments.

fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) lol LOL, I think you made the initial comment and I agreed. There were many that said UCONN, MARQUETTE AND PITT. I'd have to say you called it and I agreed. But at least we know our Big East Basketball. Edited March 17, 2009 by fieldgeneral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I have UCONN losing to Washington. I think Brockman will pose a big challenge to Thabeet. Thabeet doesn't produce, UCONN doesn't win (see Pitt and Blair's dominance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll delete one today. No intent on having more that one for the competition. Yeah, I understand. No one has created more than one bracket in the SWVA Sports group, so I guess they have joined several other groups to do so. I know I have. I'm not exactly sure of when the brackets close, but I'll give you from now until Wednesday night at midnight (aka Thursday morning) to decide. The only reason for that being is I don't know if I'll be able to delete entries after the tournament gets underway. If you don't pick one before the deadline, we'll just score the first one as your official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
