  • Who Would You Pick

    As I'm filling out my bracket there are some games I'm uncertain on, and no UNI-UNLV isn't one, so who would you pick in the following and why:

    1st Round:

    Tennessee and SD State
    Oklahoma State and Ga Tech
    Gonzaga and Fla State
    Butler and UTEP
    Cal and Louisville

    2nd Round:

    New Mexico and Marquette (besides your feelings about Steve Alford)
    Maryland and Michigan State

    3rd Round:

    K-State and Pitt

    Regional Finals:

    Duke and Villanova
    "Lot of people talked about Ohio State or Georgetown or Michigan State or whoever, [or] Maryland in our bracket. When the brackets came out, the first team I looked at was Northern Iowa," Kansas Coach Bill Self.

    I'm going with Tenn, OSU, FSU, Butler, and Louisville.

    Then I'd go with Marquette, Maryland, KSU, Duke.

    I think Kansas State is a potential final 4 team. I think Michigan state has no chance to make any noise, as they have been dissapointing all season long. I think SDSU is a decent team, but Tennessee is really good, as they have wins over UK and KU this year. Also, I think a Big East team like Louisville will beat a team from that crappy pac 10 this year.

      Butler is weak this year. Tennessee is very inconsistent. I wouldn't have them going too far, and may pick SDSU to beat them.

      As much as it pains me I would have to give Duke the nod over Villanova only because they have been more consistent this year. The problem is of late Duke has not been very strong in the tournament.

      K State will roll past Pitt. That is another Big East team that has struggled with consistency.

      You have to pick Cal over Louisville because outside of beating Syracuse twice Louisville has not done anything.

        1st Round:
        Tennessee and SD State - This one is tough, but all the underdogs can't win.

        Oklahoma State and Ga Tech - Ga Tech squeaked their way in. OKST has looked great at times

        Gonzaga and Fla State - Gonzaga was way under seeded. Bad loss in WCC tourney will have them hungry.

        Butler and UTEP - Butler has looked good all year.

        Cal and Louisville - Cal sucks.

        2nd Round:

        New Mexico and Marquette - Marquette is not a good team every night. Hot and Cold, live and die by the 3


        Maryland and Michigan State - Michigan State might not even make it here. Lots of issues

        3rd Round:

        K-State and Pitt - K-State. Great coaching (although dude is nuts)

        Regional Finals:

        Duke and Villanova
        - Tough game, but my heart and brain say Nova

            Yeah, I heard that that NIU team or whoever it is playing UNLV lost to DePaul and Evansville, so you can count them out!
