farmteam Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'm calling it right now: West Virginia tops Creighton, then upsets Wake Forest. Pacific upsets Washington. Louisville also makes the Final Four from that bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I would argue Duke got the toughest draw, slightly over Illinois. Duke gets Kentucky, OU, Syracuse, and Michigan State just in the top 5 seeds. Utah is no cakewalk either. I do think its ridiculous that the overall 1 seed got such a tough draw, having Arizona as a 3 seed in your bracket is just tough to swallow.

whitesoxfan99 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 UNC got screwed, they have by far the toughest bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree completely, Kentucky is not that strong of a team at all. Oklahoma is a decent three seed, MSU isn't really that good of a basketball team, Syracuse is tough though. UNC has arguably the most dangerous team in the tourney in UCONN, one of the better three seeds in Kansas, a very dangerous 5 in Villanova and, Florida as a 4 who is actually playing better than Kentucky right now.

Palehosefan Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Yeah we can agree to disagree, I think Kentucky is the best 2 seed and will win their bracket. Overall its a pretty balanced set of brackets, because I've seen arguments that all the brackets outside of UW's are the toughest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'm not going to lie here, Duke got a cakewalk imo. I agree UNC got royally f***ed, but that's jmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Because of their zone and McNamara, Syracuse is the team in the entire tourney that I would want to play the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Parque Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 That Syracuse/Duke game will be great and I have no idea who will win. We can't stop Warrick and they can't stop Shelden, it's that simple. I'll take my chances though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Gillen out at UVA, and now Buzz Peterson looks like he's gone at Tennessee. http://tennessean.com/sports/ut/archives/0...ent_ID=66901798 They are apparently under the impression they are an elite mens basketball program with the way they have handled their past few coaches.

SuperSteve Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Okay, so can I just say f*** you to Alan Anderson and Matt Trannon. Sheesh...the Sparties should have done so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'd probly lock this thread while we're at it, so people know to post in the proper region brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Sounds good to me. Or maybe I'll leave this open for NIT discussion? Cuase I don't think we'd need a seperate thread for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Gonna close it till the tourney is over. I will be pinning an official NIT thread though. I figure only one thread will be needed. Do you all think we should pin the 4 bracket threads as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
