Oklahoma even though I'm not that high on them is getting pretty good odds at 30\1 for a team that was almost #1 with the best player in the nation on its team.

By the way who predicted the Blue Devils winning the ACC tourney?This guy.

does UNC get the same odds if Ty Lawson doesn't play?

i'm surprised KU is getting 30/1.

---

Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-17-2009

Is Lawson done for the whole tourney?I think they will rest him to the elite 8 if he can still play.

Gonzaga at 60\1 s the biggest surprise.

---

Bracket Thoughts - cLaY - 03-17-2009

if he can't make it through a whole practice today and wednesday he's done.

---

Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-17-2009

I doubt he'll practice either way with an injury.Their bracket isnt that hard.I think syracuse shot its load already and the 3 seed they got is a little high in reality.I think they are bigger and more athletic then gonzaga so after that I'd be worried about Oklahoma if I was them.


"It was going to be such a reach for him to play," Williams said. "If it had been the Final Four, perhaps he would have played, but he wasn't going to be 100 percent."

On Lawson's immediate future? Williams said the toe is not completely healthy and he doesn't know if it will ever be completely healthy for the tournament.

"He has to practice half the practice Tuesday and all of practice Wednesday or I'm not going to play him on Thursday."



They are just going to rest him until the elite 8 would be my guess.

I'm too busy to run my NCAA pool(obviously) so I handed it off to my 24 year old secretary(solid 6).

You handled my last request so impressively I've decided to give you the
most important task you've ever handled here. You are now in charge of our
NCAA basketball pool. This poll has been going strong here for 11 years with
no mistakes so no pressure. Only basic math skills are required and you
don't need to know anything about the game itself. Print out the attachment
and leave a copy on everybody's desk and collect them back by Wednesday
morning. Keep a file where you will keep the pools and the money. As the
tournament progresses it will be your job to tally up scores and send out an
email update every day to all in the pool. I imagine this is very exciting
for you and are unsure if you are up to the responsibility but we all
believe in you. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

You should already have handed the pool out by now. I'm already nervous I've
given you to much responsibility to fast. It is the most important thing you
have to do here for all of March.

You should learn to spell in your office emails. She probably thinks you are dumb enough as it is.
