Give me an update of how things stand in your yahoo bracket or whatever yall have going. Give me the names of who is in it and how many teams they have picked right in the S16.

If Roy loses this year it seriously hurts his credibility.Even without Lawson they have a good enough team to make the finals.

14 of 16 in the sweet 16.
If the guy from Marquette doesnt fuck up the inbounds pass I'd be golden.

The media loves roy. They won't even mention it. UNC has the best recruits, college player of the year, a dynamic PG and yet they struggle. I'm doubting the make it to the final 4.

They will make it to the final four but no further.

You know what occured to me yesterday was Syracuse's guard Jonny Flynn is Rajon Rondo's twin.Its not just the head band either.Both are super athletic guards who can finish.

I've only really seen him play that 6OT game, but that's a solid comparison.
Bracket Thoughts - cLaY - 03-24-2009
is Johnny Flynn really only a soph? what a stud. why was jim boheim not mentioned in the roy, coach k, class more before he started to approach 800? maybe because of the years he's been coaching, but he's been at syracuse 30+ years as a player and coach. you don't see that very often.
one of my brackets at work i have the sweet 16 picked perfect. i've got three brackets, all 1,2, 3. pays out about 200.
Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-25-2009
How much was each bracket?
How anyone can choose to stay in Syracuse and actually get people to commit there is a feat in itself.
Cuse was looking just average before the Big East Tourney.
You have Arizona playing Louisville?
Bracket Thoughts - WoolyGoat - 03-25-2009
I wish coach Cal stayed at UMass
Happy Pitino did NOT stay with the Celtics...although he was here just long enough to determine that Chauncey Billups was not worthy of sticking around.
Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-25-2009
Cal was never staying.
It all worked out for the C's in the end.
I heard Pitino is thinking about the Arizona job.

4 bucks a bracket, 10 bucks for three
Zona playing Louisville, I watched them stomp a mud hole in KU earlier in the season. They're a well rounded team.
Bracket Thoughts - cLaY - 03-25-2009
I've heard Cal and Pitino for the Arizona job.
Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-25-2009
Memphis needs to move out of that conference or Cal is going to leave.

Final Four:
Pitt
OK
Memphis
Louisville

Oh yea its over for me.
UNC\Oklahoma is going to be great.I will root for OK even though clay can then call their conference better then the ACC.
Collins on KU could have taken his game to another level and carried them last night but 6 turnovers killed him.Mich St is just a deeper team.They had three guys off the bench with 7 pts or more.
Bracket Thoughts - cLaY - 03-28-2009
Big 12 is already better than the ACC.
Collins tries too hard sometimes.
Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-28-2009
This year maybe.Overall no.
Bracket Thoughts - cLaY - 03-28-2009
The ACC is percieved as a better conference because of all the east coast media coverage it gets.
Bracket Thoughts - BIRD33 - 03-28-2009
Yea Ok.Why don't you compare final four appearances per conference and figure out a way the media had anything to do with that.
