the cursed 5 seed. bring it on

 

[Dove]

Gonzaga stands between us and the Elite 8. Ughhh.

Of course, so does New Mexico State and others.

 

[UncleSpliff]

None of those teams in our group scare me at all. Gonzaga was having a tough time down the stretch against WCC teams. Arkansas doesn’t scare me either.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

NM State is a rough draw.

NM State is a rough draw.

Why is that? I know nothing about NM St.

 

[SubbaBub]

If we play our A game, we should win all of these games. If we can't break 60 points, we won't be around very long.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Why is that? I know nothing about NM St.

They have three legit scorers. They remind me of creighton a bit in that they can win in many ways.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Providence will not beat South Dakota St will be a blowout

[UconnFanDC]

Why is that? I know nothing about NM St.

Nobody does. I feel like we'd say that regardless of who the 12th seed was. The 12 over 5 is usually where the biggest upsets happen. We are Uconn and we will prevail

 

[Ha Who]

Syracuse seed?

 

[Marbles90]

Well, I talked about this in the conference tourney threads, as much as I want to see more teams from our conference, I am glad to see Xavier not even in the first four out. These talking head experts put way to much value on computer rankings and all the “quad” crap. Xavier has been bad, going 1-6 in their last 7 games and didn’t deserve a sniff. Glad to see the committee actually watch games and not solely rely on a computer.

Michigan getting in with only 17 wins and without a play-in game is RIDICULOUS.

Michigan getting in with only 17 wins and without a play-in game is RIDICULOUS.

But ratings will undoubtedly go up when Juwan Howard tries to punch another coach.

 

[HuskyHawk]

The only thing I did not want a Thursday- Saturday game. Damn.

They have three legit scorers. They remind me of creighton a bit in that they can win in many ways.

I was looking at their season stats and they only have 2 guys who average double digits. Who is the 3rd legit scorer?

6-6 guard Teddy Allen averages 19.3 but isn't a great 3 point shooter. He shoots a lot of free throws and shoots them well so I'm guessing he goes to the hoop a lot. More turnovers than assists. Andre or Tyrese will have to cover him.

Sir' Jabari Rice is a 6-4 guard that averages 12.2 points per game. Also not a great 3 point shooter and is a 40% shooter overall.

6-7 forward Johnny McCants is their 3rd leading scorer at 8.5 points per game.
