answered your Q in your thread.

tech by six or seven.

i like tech by 10 or 14.

i think airforce gets destroyed, utah loses in a tough battle. can't wait to see the o/u for that. i like a final of bc 53 utah 50.

I agree BC will win but looking through some of the teams BC has played with I find it hard to believe BC wont have a little easier time than you suggest.

Thanks for the input on tech. I wont play BC there unless its tech by 10 or more I guess...

maybe i'm way out there on the bc utah game, and i agree bc should win with little problem, but utah can play some pretty tough d, and bc seems to really work the shot clock. just a awful game to watch i would think.

yeah I agree.

Also - Wisky Pitt will be a good game - I lean to WIsky though. But man what a defensive battle that will be.

Florida Wake is tough too - I go with wake but florida is such a mystery sometimes that goofy bastard carrot top drops 3s in at will sometimes.

I dont have a lot of faith in Mississippi State like some do so I'd guess they'd fall to Texas - what do you think?

Cuse Maryland should be a good game - both streaky teams and have trouble with consistency. I would have picked cuse as a no brainer but since Maryland has come out of its shell over the last few games now I dont know.

Jaypaw- you probably know what I'm going to say on those. You have probably noticed I hate Cincy and love to fade them and have been saying fade them come tourney time, which I will do every game probably. Illinois over Cincy. Wisconsin got flat robbed, ranked 10th in the nation and 12th RPI and somehow get a 6 seed, but they play in Wisconsin, I think they get by Pitt and hopefully they are getting 2 or 3 points that game, I will be all over Wiscy. I seriously think Wiscy is primed for a Final Four run.

I THINK CINCY HAS A BITCH OF TIME GETTING PAST E TENN ST.

E TENN ST ONLY LOST TO WAKE LAST YEAR BY 3.

CINCY WILL PROBABLY WIN, BUT BOY 9+ LOOKS DAMN GOOD.

Truely I believe so too


Matt and Truely (and anyone else)

Can Illinois beat Duke?


Unfortuately I lean to no...

Texas may be able to though.

I love it. You guys all love Wisky & Okie State. Pitt lost 4 games by a total of 10 points; two of them losses to UConn where Pitt had the last shot of the game to tie or win, 1 at Seton Hall in OT by 1 point, and one slip-up vs. surging Syracuse at home in OT in a game where Pitt just couldn't get anything to fall. I actually think Wisconsin and Okie State are great teams, but so is Pitt. Should be fun.

Pitt could beat wisky - I just think they'll be favored by too much.

I dont know why they couldnt beat Uconn though.



I just realized that exas got beat by duke by almost 30 pts at MSG early in the year...

Not sure how to read that.


May not be good for texas

I won't even begin to argue with truleyhandicapping again. All I'll say, is that I'd LOVE to see a St/Zaga second-round matchup.

you won't argue because you are clueless.

get some stats to prove something one time.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

lol No, you're right. You are the stats guy. Maybe Gonzaga beat Michigan St. in the 70s and you can argue how that shows Gonzaga would beat them once again this year.

PJA - whats yer point?

Why waste the time to type something thats just gonna piss someone off?

And you still havent brought anything of value to the disucssion.


My reason for supporting Michigan State against zaga that Mstate beat everyone in the big 10 other that Wisky(lost twice, once by only 2), Illinois - and split with Purdue (which was before Purdue fell apart - right after purdue won at duke.)

Thier other losses were to Kansas, Duke, Oklahoma, Kentucky, AtUCLA, and atCuse.


Zaga has also beaten, and lost to, some good teams -
they beat Missouri, Maryland, Washington, and Georgia and lost to only Stanford, and St Joes.



IMO UCLA and St Joes cancel eachother out and Kentucky and Stanford do as well. The other Losses that Michigan state have were against teams that Gonzaga did not see the likes of - Kansas, Cuse, Oklahoma, and Duke.

Otherwise their respective conference records are the same and it comes down to the fact that on a day to day basis a game like in the big 12 is tougher than in a conference with St. Marys, Pepperdine, and San Fran nipping at your heels week in and week out.


Thats my argument - reasonable people can disagree.

What is yours?

jawpaw, what's YOUR point?

I had had a discussion concerning the big ten and gonzaga some time back with truely, and to keep a long story short, we didn't see eye to eye. I simply stated that I would not bother argueing with him, but that I would love to see that second round matchup. Truely responding by telling me I'm clueless. So I responded.

Anyways, this forum drama gets old. He said, he said first, whatever. You guys can sit there and argue 'till, 'till, well, until truely comes up with a comeback that makes a little bit of sense. pjelly? My mom to the prom?
