zenryan Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 29, 2009 -> 11:40 PM) Spartans-Heels, UNC takes it. I agree. Basically going to be home games for MSU. That should get them one win but I dont see anyone beating Lawson and Co. right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 NC all the way. They've been utterly dominant to this point. I don't see anybody beating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 05:43 AM) I agree. Basically going to be home games for MSU. That should get them one win but I dont see anyone beating Lawson and Co. right now. They already lost by 30 to them on the same court. In regards to today, it's funny to see the media, before to the game, give Sparty absolutely no chance, and then afterwords try and turn it into some huge upset. Am I the only won who remembered that they won a 7 bid league by an astounding 4 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 points Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 29, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) Spartans-Heels, UNC takes it. I Concur. My heart is hoping for a Spartan championship, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only won who remembered that they won a 7 bid league by an astounding 4 games? Yeah, I was annoyed and surprised by that. I didn't think Louisville was that amazing of a team to be such a big favorite against Michigan State. Not to take anything away from Louisville, they deserved the #1 seed they got, but they weren't leaps and bounds better than the field and they certainly weren't the #1 overall team like the seeding gave them. It was purely a media creation to build up Louisville to that juggernaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was purely a media creation to build up Louisville to that juggernaut. They were the conference champion and conference tournament champion of the best conference in the country (with no close 2nd). I think they fully deserved to be the #1 overall. As for the games, if Michigan State can hit some shots, I really like their chances. I like Villanova's too. They both play defense; UConn and UNC do not.

Yea because it's not as if UConn led the country in blocked shots and rebounding, had the second best team fg% defense and 3rd best rebounding margin or anything like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, the #1 overall doesn't matter anyway, but anyone who thought they were actually a noticeable amount better (if better at all) than the other #1s is kidding themselves.

iamshack Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 29, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) Spartans-Heels, UNC takes it. That result would win me about $1800 in bracket-pool victories! I hope you're right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxbrian Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 All the way back to the tip, UNC looked focused and ready. Villanova never really had a shot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Will be an interesting final game crowd. MSU is homecourt, but UNC fans travel as well as anyone. I expect a 60-40 MSU crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 But the Big East this year is the greatest collection of basketball teams ever. How can the national champion not be from that conference? The Big East teams obviously were worn down from that brutal conference season playing teams like Rutgers and South Florida night after night.

In a conference with 16 teams, you're going to have 2-3 cupcakes. Still doesn't take away from the fact that it was indeed one of the best and deepest conferences ever. Congrats to MSU. I knew they were good. Never thought they would get to this point. And I fully expect them to get smoked by UNC. But I won't be surprised if they're able pull off the upset. When you can beat Louisville and UConn back-to-back, you can beat anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 UNC big. Hope it is close, and even would like upset, but this isn't a Disney movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
