NCAA Bracket Thread

We have a great path to the Elite Eight. I like how we matchup against Houston as well. They won't want to run with UK. We could potentially set the pace.

We could but when has Cal ever set the pace against a plodding team?

 

[kennyskywalker34]

You do realize that NC State won the ACC.

I imagine they will lose to Texas Tech. 5 games in 5 days = jelly legs even for youngsters.

I don't lol.

We can't rebound the ball. They are going to absolutely feast on the offensive glass. And that might be the only defense out there that can keep us in check. That and they play at snails pace. There will be no up and down 100 point game in that one.

I hate it.

UNC has a very favorable draw to the final four

 

[Rockfly78]

I'll look it up later. Don't really care anymore and I don't have the patience for how long they drag it out.

Teams like that usually lose their first tourney game

 

[Fox2monk]

Yes I do, but they also weren’t a tournament team before that miracle run. So there is a reason they lost what 13-14 games? But the bottom line is we expected this team to compete for a final 4 and if we can’t beat a 13-14 loss team to get there then we suck.

 

[DreadLox]

Don't we owe Marquette a loss from the Tubby days?

Al McGuire was a thorn in Rupp's side.

 

[TCurtis75]

Could miss st give unc trouble?

Yes. Big trouble.

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

I don't want any part of NC State. Momentum, especially winning 5 games in 5 days to win their conf tourney is big. Teams that come in on that kind of run are tough outs. We all remember UConn.

 

[TriCountyCat]

Mcneese State gonna go on a run

 

[TCurtis75]

UNC has a very favorable draw to the final four

They will lose to Miss St.

There you go throwing facts at me. I hate it when you do that. Lol

Indiana State got shafted because for some reason the Mountain West got 6 teams.

Especially when they've got a big man who is thicker than our 7 footers if you made each stand in front of the other.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Miss st. Could give UNC some trouble. But we all know they won't get past Izzo. They will want a UNC vs. Izzo round 2 matchup. Miss st. Will get hosed by the refs.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

With everything being said, just focus on Oakland, beat Oakland, don’t look ahead Kentucky

MW sucks.

 

[LXWildcat]

I’d give my left nut to see St. Peter’s beat the Vols in round 1 lol

 

[Lovebaskelball]

They will lose to Miss St.

Miss St will not win their first game.

We have more than enough weapons to blow that zone to pieces.

 

[Fox2monk]

Overall this committee was better than usual I’d say. Only 1-2 teams that can gripe about not getting in, everyone seeded ok outside some 9 seeds like Michigan State to me.

 

[crawfords corner]

5 bids were stolen. LOVE IT!!!

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

If we would’ve won the Sec tournament we would’ve been a 2 seed!

Brackets are done before then … for the 1,000th time.

 

[DreadLox]

Conference tournaments are for getting an unlikely team into the NCAAs. $$$

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Clemson a 6 is the laugher of this field. I bet they’re underdogs to New Mexico.

 

[michaeluk26]

Don't we owe Marquette a loss from the Tubby days?

We owe them for 1994 too. We'd of played Duke in the Sweet 16 at Tennessee and we had tickets. That loss crushed me as a kid.

 

[dnorman0301]

Watching ESPN Bracketology and not sure I ever recall a bracket discussion and no one even mentions Kentucky. Shows level of confidence people have in this team … frustrating.

 

[JustBlue]

Don't we owe Marquette a loss from the Tubby days?

And the Rupp days
And the Pitino days
And the Gillespie days

Those two teams have played each other in the tournament more than any other.

There you go throwing facts at me. I hate it when you do that. Lol

I apologize, I’ll keep the facts to a minimum in the future lol.

 

[BC_Wader]

We didn't get robbed with the loss Friday. I like this draw for an Elite 8 run with a shot for a Final 4.

 

[Mash 2.4]

Yeah. Think New Mexico beats them.

 

[GoBigBlue1280]

When are times announced?

 

[yes_takeaside]

Oklahoma first team out???

No doubt a scary matchup at the moment. We have to hope that took their legs out. They definitely weren’t a great regular season team for whatever reason. We need to figure out why. We will be fresh that’s for sure. It’s time to preform.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Oakland has really good guards apparently

 

[Mash 2.4]

If we could leave Cal home I’d love our chances for a final 4.

 

[TCurtis75]

Miss St will not win their first game.

We agree to disagree.

Probably one of the fairest committees toward us that I can ever remember for seed and path.
