NCAA Sweet 16

[UConnSwag11]

7 WSU vs 3 ND at 715

4 UNC vs 1 WISC 747

5 WVU vs 1 UK 945

6 XAV vs 2 AZ 10:17


Who do you guys want for each? I'd like WSU, WVU, UNC and AZ... I think it'll be all chalk, but the two games that IMO could go either way are WVU vs UK and UNC vs WISC

 

[UConNick]

Definitely think Wichita has a better chance of winning than WVU or UNC. In fact, I expect them to win.

 

[tzznandrew]

I think the E8 matchups will be Wichita State vs. UK, Wisconsin vs. Arizona.

The only game I want to go differently is WVU vs. UK. Go WVU.

 

[Inyatkin]

I think I'd be more shocked by Xavier over Arizona than WVU over Kentucky.

This.

I'm thinking chalk also, but it'll be fun watching the Harrison twins draft stock drop like BestBuy.

 

[aceboon]

still annoyed the committee couldn't figure out a way to split AZ and Wisc up, that's a national championship quality E8 game assuming both win.

How would you do it?

They would have had to ship Zona to the South right? I haven't thought it through though. That seems the case at first glance. Maybe ship Wisky South as the top 2 seed and give Zona the 1 over Wisky? Not sure at first glance but it does seem that match-up should not be a regional final. Put Zags as the 2 in the Midwest instead of Kansas?

i think the game is going to get physical and chippy... UK has not faced a team as in your face, bully you, like WVU... Uk does have the size and ego to combat that i believe... the harrisons are not the greatest guards and will use their forearm to keep the wvu pressure off them

 

[UConnSwag11]

ND jumping out early

 

[Rocktheworld]

Putting on a clinic is what I'd call it

 

[UConnSwag11]

Wsu catches up

 

[ASweet3781]

Only the NCAA would dig up the Lakers and Cavs floors and put these dull black and blue NCAA floors down.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Unc up one

Not sure what the answer is, but when I first looked at the bracket and saw one region with Nova/UVA and another with Wisc/Zona, I laughed.

I have Wisconsin winning it all, so I may not be laughing after tonight.

These teams are so much more dynamic offensively than what we watched this season.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Chalk except for maybe UNC. Late games should be blowouts.

If you're talking about Notre Dame, they're actually just about on pace for their season PPG and are currently on their season FG%

By "what we watched this season" I meant UConn.

Got ya

Thought you meant as compared to what we saw from them in the regular season

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Yikes. What a lob.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

They're cooking. I like that kid Connaughton, he's a tough kid. Pretty great to be playing in the Sweet Sixteen knowing you're about to embark on a career as a professional baseball player when you're done.

 

[BugsyCT]

Just hoping to have some team/s left to root for as long as possible. The pickings are slim. Rooting for Wichita St (but about to go down to ND) and probably Gonzaga.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Only Notre Dame would have such good white players

Looking like their first Elite Eight in thirty six years. Imagine what this fan base would be like if UConn's next Elite Eight will be in the 2050 tournament.

 

[superjohn]

Notre Dame would beat anyone if they played this way, including Kentucky. Beautiful ball movement, knocking down shots. I really like this ND team, Conaughington (sp) is a stud, Auguste is a good big man, Grant is a stud. Fun team to watch.
