WilliamTell Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) I agree...that way the Zags can just slaughter em Than in the sweet 16, Iowa can drop the Zags. I'd love to see Iowa do good, hopefully my old school mate Horner can have a good tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) This Gonzaga team is going down SO FAST in the NCAA Tourney, it isn't even funny. If they're a one seed, they'll definitely be the first one seed knocked off. Gosh, I hope Marquette is in the Zags bracket. If Gonzaga is a one seed the tourney committee is an absolute fraud. Gonzaga doesn't even deserve a 2 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I can just imagine this board if Gonzaga makes it to the sweet 16. What excuses would be used then? I'm not a Zaga fan, but come on. Just because they barely won this game and some others recently doesn't mean they are going to get knocked off quickly. Duke has lost 2 in a row, are they going to lose in the first two rounds?

Soon to be Big West Conference Tourney champ Cal State Fullerton will knock them out in the sweet 16. They are gonna be the cinderell astory of the decade.

WilliamTell Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 10:19 PM) Well, bubble teams rejoice. Honestly are the Zags that weak that they need to scratch out all these games against inferior competition, or are they just playing down to their level? I guess these questions will be answered in the next couple weeks. I think it's a little bit of both. I don't think they're as good as their ranking is but they normally always play down to a team's level or up to a team's level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) Agree there too. Iowa, Illinois, OSU all make the sweet 16. I think one of them goes elite 8 and may make it to the final 4. My gut feeling says that team will be one of the I's. OSU will have a bad shooting night in the sweet 16 and go down.

Sorry, but Iowa, depending on the bracket they are in, will not make it to the sweet 16, and has no chance in hell at the elite 8. Illinois can go far if they play up to their potential, but I don't see them in the elite 8 either. I think OSU has a valid chance at Elite 8, but again, more likely will lose in the sweet 16.

They're a horrible, horrible defensive team which is going to kill them. They're whiny, they're pussy's, and they don't defend, they're a complete fraud. They won't make it to the sweet 16 so we don't have to worry about that. Edited March 7, 2006 by Rowand44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense is key and Iowa and Illiniois defend as good as any team in the country. I think Iowa goes out real quick or they stick around for a while. Illinois will be there. They are battle tested and play exceptional defense. They also have good athletes. OSU relies on that outside shot and they haven't exactly been running away with things. They go down in the sweet 16. Depending on the draw, but I think they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I honestly wouldn't be surprised if 0 Big Ten teams make the Elite 8. I would think at least one would make it but there's not stand out team that can make it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they make it to the sweet 16, I'll have no problem admitting I'm wrong, but it ain't happening. I don't think anyone has made many excuses for why the zags have won these games, they're just playing s***ty ass competition and barely hanging on.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 lol @ the Gonzaga defenders. I will allow myself to be banned for a week if Gonzaga wins more than 2 NCAA Tourney games. They are a f***ing joke, and it will take a lot of luck for them to even survive the first weekend of the tournament. Oh, and Chicago State won tonight, advancing to the Mid Con Title Game vs. Oral Roberts. The drive for 5 Illinois teams in the dance lives!

I said are they going to get knocked off before the Sweet 16, not in it. To be honest, it's a possibility but I wouldn't count on it. Duke is a better team then Gonzaga, though this Duke team isn't very good. Atleast Duke attempts to play d but once again this is not one of their better defensive teams. Neither Duke or Gonzaga are very good this year to be honest. Also comparing georgetown, florida state, and unc to the likes of loyola marymount and san diego, ya.
