Palehosefan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Not a cupcake walk for Duke like I figured. San Diego State, Texas, and UConn could all take them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Figures. If Texas doesn't beat Duke, I don't think anyone in this bracket will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 13, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) UConn hot right now. I don't like their matchup with Duke at all. Not enough outside shooting. Walker would have to outscore Smith and Singler combined or come damn close for them to beat them IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Another real tough region imo. Still got Duke coming out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Took San Diego State here even though I don't think they've ever won a tournament game. May live to regret it. Could also see UConn winning here, and obviously Duke has a great shot. I think they'll be challenged in every game they play after the opener though. Very good region.

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm going to take San Diego St. here. They're basically playing four home games, going to Tuscon and Anaheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't teach length and athleticism which SDSU has, they also happen to have my favorite player in college basketball in Kawhi Leonard, so they got that going for them . Top 4 seeds all have a legit shot at winning this region imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they both got tricky first round games which I could see them losing, so I was afraid to pick either to go very far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I feel fairly confident Tennessee will lose to Michigan in the 1st round b/c we're just so damn inconsistent. But, I also could see us making a Sweet 16 run, knocking off Duke and it wouldn't shock me. That's why I hate this team so much. There's no telling who's going to show up.

I'm rooting for Tennessee because they have the talent and athleticism to give Duke fits. I'm not picking any of them, but I could see pretty much any of the 8/9 teams taking out their respective 1 seeds in this tournament and I wouldn't be overly surprised.

whitesoxfan99 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 People really like Arizona as a final four type team? They aren't a great defensive team and they feasted on bad competition in the Pac 10. They weren't particularly impressive against good teams this year. Williams is a beast but I just don't see that team as a final four team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst 2nd half performance I've seen from this team, and that's saying something b/c we've had some really bad halves of basketball this year.

If Hamilton was on the fence, that certainly didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan is also a streaky team. They've been playing really well for the last 2 months or so. An 8 seed was justified for them for the course of the whole year, but they've been playing better than an 8 seed for the last 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
