Bracket Thoughts - cLaY - 03-18-2009

I can't remember what my yahoo picks are. i think they go like this:

Michigan State
Memphis
Pitt
UNC

MSU and Pitt

Pitt to win it all.

I think this Michigan State team is super talented. Last time they won it all they played in 2000 they played in Minn. and Indy. Playing in Detroit will get them to the finals but Pitt is just too strong.

I'm with goat on the thought that Mich St can't be trusted.I used to think Izzo was one of the best coaches out there but the last few years have killed that for me.

i have west virginia taking out michigan state before losing to louisville.

Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-18-2009

I hated the way West Virginia looked in the Big East tourney.I have Mich St beating Kansas and losing to Louisville.

Probably Pitt. If not, then Villanova.

Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-18-2009

Pitt.Nova is very similar to Duke as they have zero inside presence.I think Singler will be a huge match up problem for Nova.

I've got Duke as a pretty solid win over Villanova.

My toss up picks were:

Purdue/Wasshington - Purdue

W Virginia/Kansas - W Virginia

Ok St/Tenn - Tennessee

Other than that, it was pretty clear cut

asshat has watched zero college basketball this year.

I honestly think North Dakota St is a bigger threat to Kansas then West virginia.

You are pretty much right about that. I've seen a few games, but not nearly enough to make any predictions. I'm going solidly with the bookie's odds.

Agreed. If I were not a Kansas fan I'd probably pick North Dakota. From what I've read on them though Woodside is their only scoring threat. Brady Morningstar will be trying to lock him down ala A.J. Abrams. That's my thoughts on the game. I think KU pulls it out, but only because I bleed Crimson and Blue.

apparently Obama and I have the same final 4.

I watched N Dakota's last game and to be honest they arent that impressive.They have one kid who can shot and thats it but he's not Stefan Curry.I'm just worried about KU over looking them.

I think the fact that N. Dakota is getting mentioned as a possible upset team will give them reason not to overlook them. Plus they got handed by Baylor last game and I think they kind of overlooked them. You're right though, its hard to tell a bunch of freshman not to overlook a team.

jimmy Calhoun will not be coaching tonight.In a hospital right now feeling ill.

Bracket Thoughts - cLaY - 03-19-2009

awesome news. a&m is playing like they could beat them right now.

Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-19-2009

I was home for a bit and caught a little of the Memphis game.Its close but mainly because most of Memphis's starting 5 had 2 fouls early in the first half.
