Big 12 - Dagger - 03-16-2008
UT put the hurt on Oklahoma yesterday.
Who do you like for the finals?
Big 12 - BIRD33 - 03-16-2008
Kansas.
Then I like them to ride the wave of momentum to a 3rd round tourney exit.
Big 12 - Dagger - 03-16-2008
As a UT alumni, pronounced dropout, I think Kansas will be done in a few hours.
Big 12 - Dr. Lecter - 03-16-2008
Do we have an NCAA pool set up for the IT folk?
Big 12 - Dagger - 03-17-2008
Chalmers 30 points screwed my hopes.
Big 12 - cLaY - 03-17-2008
or Rush going 6 for 9 from 3 point range.
KU plays like that the rest of the year they can't be stopped.
Sorry Bird, Vandy or Clemson isn't going to hang with KU if they play like they did today.
They've got the best bracket. Jayhawks are Final Four bound.
BTW, nice prediction on Duke riding that loss into the ACC Championship.

tweety is never wrong with his predictions
you must be mistaken
Big 12 - BIRD33 - 03-17-2008
I seemed to call the Kansas game spot on, thanks for noticing.
Clays post will be priceless in 3 weeks.Bill Self still coaches Kansas, correct?I seem to recall some type of reputation that isnt exactly flattering following him around.
You forgot to capitalize the "if" in the below sentence.Even you don't trust them.
"Sorry Bird, Vandy or Clemson isn't going to hang with KU if they play like they did today."
I like Dukes draw.They match up well with UCLA.
I havent dissected the rest of the brackets yet.I will school you later.

I wasn't talking about your KU call, I was talking about your prediction on Duke.
What reputation would that be? Being in the top 3 winningest coaches since 1999? 7 league crowns in the last 9 years?
I trust this team quite a bit, especially with the senior leadership they have. Intensity is key for this team. I don't see them losing that given this time around, especially since the core of this team is gone next year.
Big 12 - Dr. Lecter - 03-17-2008
so we DO have a bracket pool. Ok, thanks.

Welcome to Tournament Pick'em!
You created a group called Insanetrain and added your bracket, BIRD33.
Your group ID# is 99477 and your password is: bird33
I plan on running away with this thing.

Wasn't he a head coach before 1999?
Can we also say the spurs have won the most NBA championships since 2003?
Or how about Duke is in the top five for having NBA draft picks since 1949? (Duke has 39, KU has 27)
Can we say that Darko Milic was the worst draft pick since 2003?
Big 12 - WoolyGoat - 03-17-2008
"if" is the biggest word in the English language.
Kansas has always had phenomenal teams on paper...their biggest problem come tourney time has always been the "if" part.
Big 12 - BIRD33 - 03-17-2008
Kansas will have big problems with Georgetown.
Apparently being the top winningest coach since '99 doesnt net you anything because Selfs never gone anywhere.No Kansas fan can really say anything until the Final 4.Self is the #1 choke artist coach in college basketball, thats not even debatable.
Big 12 - cLaY - 03-18-2008
Is there an ignore function specifically for threads dealing with basketball?
After watching G'Town against Pitt I'm not worried at all. KU has triple the weapons Pitt has, plus they can shoot the lights out. G-Town won't dare throw their zone at the Hawks.
Bank on this, KU is locked into the Final Four.
Big 12 - cLaY - 03-18-2008
Anyone know how many years in a row Bilas has picked the national champs?
Big 12 - BIRD33 - 03-18-2008
Duke guys are smart.
KU does have an easy bracket but against Georgetown or whoever during the elite 8 if they shoot poorly from the outside they are done.They can't go inside at all.
Pittsburghs a good team.They can beat Memphis.
Georgia beats Xavier.

Check who your Duke guy has winning it all.
KU can't go inside? Surely you're kidding. That team of balance was led in scoring by Darrell Arthur, a lottery pick next year. Double team him and Darnell Jackson will kill you. KU is Florida all over again, with more threats from the outside and a killer in Sherron Collins coming off the bench.
Pitt will beat Memphis, but I'm not convinced they can score like KU can. While G-Town worries me, I think KU has a clear advantage.
Not sure why Xavier has got all the pub really.

I got your meaning fella.
I only bring up Pittsburgh because that was a tough loss to a physical team for G-town that wasnt terrible.G-town was a lock #1 seed if they win that game and are the best of the 2 seeds.
I see KU rolling to the elite 8 but what if they struggle early with their shooting.I can't wait to see how they react.
The A-10 is a joke.Xavier has been falling off for a month.

G-Town never had a grasp on the game. They played from behind the entire time.
KU has enough guys that can shoot to carry them. Rush, Chalmers, and Collins all can shoot the ball. Collins can get to the lane at will opening up guys from the outside should G-Town play any man. Hibbert alone can't lock down our post. I see him playing the bigger of our men, Darnell Jackson just because Arthur is too athletic for him to guard. KU will cause a lot of problems for any team in the tourney.
