Preseason NCAA Basketball Poll is released

[haildmb]

The only way that possibly happens is if Jelly loses today. :D


Let's go Gat-ors *clap clap clapclapclap* :D

[seekupig]

looks like some of the teams that were fighting over that last #1 didn't want it to bad.

i think it's getting Jelly tournament ready going through their conference tournament playing teams ranked as high as #25 in the country, hell if they win today they can double their victory's vs. ranked opponents.

today's games, i'll go with

Florida
Georgia Tech
Illinois
Oklahoma St.

:lol

Stewart Mandel currently has, in his bracket, jelly meeting up with GA Tech in the 2nd round. That'd be another 2nd round exit for the mildcats :lol

[DMB1521]

Buffalo better make it in, they deserve it and they have a great record. Plus it has already been a season of firsts for them. First 20 win season in Division 1, First time they made it to the MAC finals, and now first NCAA tourney bid. I just hope the committee realizes that they definitely deserve a shot over UCLA and Maryland. And if Buffalo, does not make it in, and the above said 2 schools do, then it will be one huge travesty and I will forever have no faith in the committee.

My two cents,

Neumie

only problem is GT will probably not be an 8/9 with a win today. i'm guessing they'll be a 7 seed in the Kansas bracket so they can have a rematch from the new years day OT game that BJ Elder got hurt in. i hope not, but that's my gut feeling.

Don't worry, neither buffalo or Maryland will be in :D

Go Devils :D


I actually sort of "pulled against" Duke yesterday, for the first time ever, just cause State needed it so much more. Plus it wouldn't have been to shabby to have an ACC tournament title awaiting me when I got back to Raleigh :D Cause we all know tech can't beat state. But alas, JJ is fucking amazing.

i think Tech is hitting their stride at the right time of year and Duke's lack of depth will begin to show in their third game in three days. we can always make a little wager if you're feeling froggy..........:bounce

I can't ever bet on my favorite teams, I think it's bad luck :lol So it's usually hard for me to not pick Duke to win the ncaa tournament, though I haven't the last 3 years. I think that's why they lost to uconn last year

is it really that funny? considering they beat you a week ago and you were lucky to beat unranked LSU yesterday, i'd be a bit worried.

[onemoredrink41]

not worried with FLA :lol we beat them 8 times in a row, they won welll.. only one.

Some. Just. Dont. Get it, do they? :D

[ryguy178]

i think florida has about as good a chance at beating kentucky as GA Tech does of beating duke....

and by that i mean a DAMN good chance...with no huge interest in any of the games other than to see Duke lose miserably i am just hoping for today's games to match the madness of yesterdays

[ousooner]

I have the same rule. The guys I work with are always making fun of me because I refuse to bet on an OU game. Just for fun we will bet a soda on games, but I won't bet on OU, even though it's just a soda.

[ousooner]

not worried with FLA :lol we beat them 8 times in a row, they won welll.. only one.

kansas who??

I wasn't worried about Texas Tech yesterday either. We just beat them a week ago by 20 at their place. That was about as meaningless as your 8 game win streak. You should always worry this time of year. It's one and done!

[seekupig]

Some. Just. Dont. Get it, do they? :D
:lol , and probably never will.


let's see here....

G. Tech can beat UNC
NC State can beat Wake Forest
WVU can make it to the Big East championship game
a team with a losing record can win their conference tourney (Oakland)

but........ Florida CAN NOT BEAT KENTUCKY. sound about right?:confused

[seekupig]

kansas who??

you remember Kansas, the team that beat you in your own arena without their best player......... ring a bell?

[RJ2kWJ]

:lol , and probably never will.

Duke has no bench, playing their third game in three days. G. Tech will run up and down the floor and wear Duke down. Tech is on a mission.

[ryguy178]

correct me if im wrong...but didn't florida just beat KY? i don't get what all of this "florida cannot beat kentucky" talk is all about...

PS: i kind of want kentucky to win this game...im kind of a fan, and plus a loss by them would make it more difficult to figure out how far im actually going to take them in the tourney..

[seekupig]

correct me if im wrong...but didn't florida just beat KY? i don't get what all of this "florida cannot beat kentucky" talk is all about...

Jelly = Kansas They choaked and lost another game didn't they????

Over-rated.

[seekupig]

Jelly = Kansas They choaked and lost another game didn't they????

Over-rated.

#9 team in the country loses to #11 team in the country by 1 point without Keith Langford. sure, they lost but i wouldn't consider that a choke job. Kentucky going out in the second round to UAB on the other hand, well........you know.

[bdb23]

well........you know.
I'm sure she doesn't. Seems to be walking around with blinders on. Even spelling it out for her goes over her head.

[ryguy178]

wow...i am not getting the SEC championship because CBS is televising a fucking st patty's day parade...

fucking irish.

[bustdstuff]

I'm sure she doesn't. Seems to be walking around with blinders on. Even spelling it out for her goes over her head.


Even spelling seems to go over her head. Julie it goes like this.

Florida. Not FLA or flordia.
Choked. Not choaked.
Jelly=Kentucky. Not Kansas.


I bet on spelling alone I could get a degree from UK.

Oh wait is that Kentucky losing to Florida AGAIN? Yes it is. And is that Duke winning again? Yes it is.

[bdb23]

Oh wait is that Kentucky losing to Florida AGAIN? Yes it is. And is that Duke winning again? Yes it is.
But didn't you see, Jelly has trailed at the half in all 3 games with FLA. As if that makes it any better. :thumbsdow

[unccrombie]

ya know, schensher is sucking the wang. it's really starting to annoy me

He's starting to look like another Sean Bradley (I'm think of the right name aren't I? 7'8" guy from BYU?).

[trippingbilly12]

He's starting to look like another Sean Bradley (I'm think of the right name aren't I? 7'8" guy from BYU?).

yeah thats him. Plays for the Mavericks, the biggest waste of a contract in the history of the NBA. The city of Dallas hates him.

Luckily I'm not a Mavs fan, but purely from a basketball standpoint Bradley is absolutely awful.

[bustdstuff]

Jarret jack just went down and he's still laying on the floor. Not good for GT.

[bdb23]

Jelly down 13 with under 6:00 to go. :lol

[bustdstuff]

At least if I have to work today I get to leave seeing UK down by 15 to a team they can't lose to.

[bdb23]

:lol 2 points for Jelly for about the last 9:00 :lol

[bdb23]

Question now is whether or not she'll make an appearance and what she'll say....

Odds
8-5 - She'll appear
1-1 - She'll say they're young
2-1 - She'll say "wait until the tourney"

Feel free to add to the odds. :lol

[dmb1spe]

I love how everyone on this board is so anti-UK. I forgot Illinois and Kentucky were huge rivals. :rolleyes

[bdb23]

Nobody is anti-Jelly. We're anti-ignorant. Accept the flaws you have since we've all crapped the bed at least once this season.

[ousooner]

I love how everyone on this board is so anti-UK. I forgot Illinois and Kentucky were huge rivals. :rolleyes

It's tournament time. There are no friends.

[dmb1spe]

Well I can't speak for certain idiots on this board, but I for one, haven't really given anyone too much shit. An objective Kentucky fan can see the fact that this year was in all actuality a very much overachieving effort for Kentucky. When the season started I had Kentucky pegged as a probably a 4 or 5 seed, probably 9 or ten losses, and with luck, a Sweet 16. We've acheived more than I expected, so I'm happy.

Now... as for the dumb cunts who come on here and say stupid shit like Kansas sucks, or Illinois is overrated are just plain blinded by their fandom. Oh well... we all have our idiots. Kentucky has her... Duke as Dukie-V and Seth Davis. :)

[dmb1spe]

4.1 to go... come on Georgia Tech.

[bdb23]

GT just couldn't rebound all day.

[JimiThang1]

Oh well good game today. We just couldn't get into a constant rhythm. Now we wait, i'm thinking maybe an 8 or 9 seed for us.

[RJ2kWJ]

2005 ACC Champions BABY!!!!!!!!

[DMBfan41]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke

With Kentucky losing and Duke winning, Duke is getting the #1

[RJ2kWJ]

not worried with FLA :lol we beat them 8 times in a row, they won welll.. only one.

kansas who??

Come again?

[RJ2kWJ]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke

With Kentucky losing and Duke winning, Duke is getting the #1

Actually it was more or less between Wake Forest and UK.... 3 ACC teams will occupy the #1 seeds. WOW! :D

[RJ2kWJ]

Flordia?? ? :lol :lol

Still funny? I mean you said they COULDNT lose? Much less get flat out destroyed.

[DMBfan41]

Actually it was more or less between Wake Forest and UK.... 3 ACC teams will occupy the #1 seeds. WOW! :D

As long as Duke doesn't face my school in the first round, i'll be happy.

[dmb1spe]

Still funny? I mean you said they COULDNT lose? Much less get flat out destroyed.


Duke out in the second round. Mark it down.

[dmb1spe]

And thanks for the ngative rep Julie... Don't be upset because some Kentucky fans actually know a little about basketball, instead of course spouting out KAnsas sucks blah blah blah out of your cake hole.

[bdb23]

What about Washington, folks??? I don't think they'll get a #1 but their RPI is up there in the top 7 or so.

[ryguy178]

What about Washington, folks??? I don't think they'll get a #1 but their RPI is up there in the top 7 or so.

i would love to see washington as a 1 seed...however a lot of people have them as low as a 4 seed (even playing a 12 seeded Penn! :) )...so i think its too big of a reach for a 1

secondly: wow. i was really suprised at the poor showing by KY today..i mean, i thought they'd lose, but not by that much by any means. i dont see them going far into the tourney at all..i also thought things would be a BIT more heated in here...:rolleyes

thirdly: and heres where i fume...WHAT THE FUCK was that foul call on GT at the end of that game...JJ Jesus Reddick was the one that grabbed Jack's jersey strap, there was absolutely no contact on the Media's Golden Boy what-so-ever. But, just like the MLB loves to see the Skankees do well, as does the NCAA make sure that Duke is the posterchild of their association. Bullshit.

[unccrombie]

if you look at the numbers like they just did on cbs washington has the #1. ok state and louisville still have a shot. nothing is a lock yet. washington is 5-2 vs top 25 teams and duke is 4-2. i think it's between osu and washington personally. the committe may be hesitant about 3/4 of the #1 seeds being from the acc. washington/osu have better rpi's than duke, but duke's sos is 4, i think osu's is like 3? im not sure, but those are my 3 teams (osu,washington,duke) for the fourth #1

[clayj41]

I think Washington is really deserving of a #1. As of now, I think that Illinois, UNC, and Duke are all #1 seeds. I think the fourth #1 will either be Washington, Oklahoma St., or Wake.

[bdb23]

I agree. I don't like 3 #1's coming from the ACC. It just doesn't seem right.

[unccrombie]

i dont see how u can say duke is a lock over wake. uncalled for

[bdb23]

It was sick to see Dukie V. back on the bandwagon today, though.

[unccrombie]

im off to my soccer game, see yall around 8 or so. happy bracket day ;)

[clayj41]

i dont see how u can say duke is a lock over wake. uncalled for

Sorry, but they did win the ACC tournament.

[RJ2kWJ]

Duke out in the second round. Mark it down.

Awwww how adorable... you're still pissed that you were so confident that Kentucky COULD NOT lose.... oh wait they didn't lose... they got RAPED.

But how cute... knock on Duke because of your $hit talkin problem :D

to your thirdly, that foul made up for much of the game when the refs weren't calling anything. Besides, if it wasn't him, they were just gonna foul someone else. Only 24 seconds left, it was not that big of a deal

[bdb23]

Not that big of a deal??? They had full court pressure and may not have been able to get the ball in bounds. Crap call for that late in the game.

I'm not trying to be an ass, but I just don't see it happening.

On a side note, I got to see Bracey Wright and Derron Williams play in high school together. They were playing against the high school I go to now, and I must say having both of them on the floor at the same time proved to be a very good combo.

you don't see Illinois winning it? They have been the most consistent team all year long and they have a better chance, or at least as good a chance as any other team. I can see someone saying that UNC or Wake has just as good a shot, but nobody has a BETTER shot at winning it all than Illinois.

It always sucks being the favorite. They've been the odds on favorite in Vegas for months now. I just accept that it's easier to pick against someone than for someone. There are going to be 64 losers out of 65 teams that get their names called in a half hour. That's what makes picking a loser so easy.

[trippingbilly12]

Anyone else think Iowa State should NOT be an at large team?

I don't think they should be. 18-11 overall, 9-7 in the Big 12. Problem is they lost to Nebraska, Kansas State, Colordao, and ATM. Those are games that are neccesary to win in my opinion.

Coming from the Big 12 definitly helps though, it will be intersting to see if they get in

Exactly, we all have to pick our National Champions for our brackets, but how many people actually consistently get the National Champion right? (I do like to brag that I picked UCONN last year).

[rcarlsn612]

i have goosebumps already
Here's to Miami oh getting in hopefully

[trippingbilly12]

Well, their quality wins do help.

Thats true, they beat Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Their non-conference schedule isn't too great though. Wagner, Bucknell, and Howard......

i always have a problem picking the clear cut favorite to go all the way (in this case i DO think Illinois is the obvious pick to win it all). I just can't bring myself to pick for them and am always looking to go the less conventional route because ANYTHING can happen in this tourney. But honestly i don't see a solid other team really beating Illinois later in this tourney. I don't see Duke beating them, I don't see wake beating them, and the other #1 seeds are going to be arguably not deserving of a #1 seed, so for me theres no other "less convtional" route to go this year..

Good luck everyone. Here we go.

[clayj41]

I'm really pumped for this!

Wow Washington?????

[clayj41]

Washington got the 4th #1 seed.

I'm glad I called that.

:thumbsup Me too. Wow, there are gonna be some really good #2 seeds.
No doubt.

[Crumbo]

If the Illini is the #1 seed overall, why aren't they playing the 64/65 seed winner?

[asmjm39]

sweet a 1 seed, I thought UW would be 2 for sure

[clayj41]

My first big upset is UW-Milwaukee over Alabama.

[bdb23]

I'll take this bracket for the Illini. :thumbsup

[SatelliteEyes]

Wisconsin Milwaukee will beat Alabama. UWM is damn good.

[clayj41]

I'll take this bracket for the Illini. :thumbsup

I don't know, they do possibly have to worry about Oklahoma St. but I think they can make it through to St. Louis.

[ryguy178]

BC's goin down :hug

[trippingbilly12]

this is taking forever. In years past they have just run down the teams, now they are making sure it takes 2 hours to announce each bracket.

Also, does anyone know how to get tickets for these games?

[clayj41]

Also, does anyone know how to get tickets for these games?

I'd try Ebay or turn to prayer.

[trippingbilly12]

I'd try Ebay or turn to prayer.

eh, I guess I'll try prayer. Ebay will be expensive as hell

[clayj41]

The Albuquerque bracket is stacked. Georgia Tech, Wake, Gonzaga, and Louisville. Wow!!!

[trippingbilly12]

The Albuquerque bracket is stacked. Georgia Tech, Wake, Gonzaga, and Louisville. Wow!!!

Louisville getting a 4 seed shows how little people care about Conference USA. They won the regular season championship, tournament championship, and have 18 of their last 19. You would think that would offer a little more then a 4 seed

[clayj41]

I was actually shocked to see that Louisville got a #4 seed.

[trippingbilly12]

I was actually shocked to see that Louisville got a #4 seed.

as in they should have gotten a better or worse seed?

[justinandimcool]

UCLA #11...we have a shot

[clayj41]

I figured they were a #2, and if nothing else at least a #3.

[Third Floor]

does wake play thursday or friday?

[SatelliteEyes]

Iowa State a 9 seed. What a joke.

[SatelliteEyes]

Wow, Wisconsin a 6 seed again, no respect I tell ya.

[clayj41]

Iowa State a 9 seed. What a joke.

Yeah, they shouldn't have got in. The Syracuse bracket is kinda worrying me. I mean you've got Florida, Kansas, UConn, Nova, and Wisconsin. UNC might have some trouble, but I have faith they'll be alright.

[trippingbilly12]

Yeah, they shouldn't have got in. The Syracuse bracket is kinda worrying me. I mean you've got Florida, Kansas, UConn, Nova, and Wisconsin. UNC might have some trouble, but I have faith they'll be alright.

My Hawks got a tough bracket. That KU-Wisconsin game is going to be interesting. I'm going to have to start looking for tickets to the Oklahoma City games

[SatelliteEyes]

yeah, that Syracuse bracket is stacked, does the committee have something against UNC? Very very tough Bracket.

A final four could have easily had UNC, Kansas, Uconn in it.

[clayj41]

Wow, Wisconsin a 6 seed again, no respect I tell ya.

Yeah, setting up what most likely will be a second round matchup with Kansas. That should be a great game.

[ousooner]

Bring on jelly

[bdb23]

ND, MD, DePaul nixed.

[trippingbilly12]

Yeah, setting up what most likely will be a second round matchup with Kansas. That should be a great game.

which could lead to a KU-UCONN game

[bdb23]

Bring on jelly
:lol

[clayj41]

Wow, could they have given Duke an easier bracket?

[bdb23]

Nice setup for the KU/UNC matchup.

[ousooner]

Wow, could they have given Duke an easier bracket?

Come on, we had Duke down 12 in the second half at Madison Square Garden earlier this season before folding. We are much better now and would give them all they want in Austin.

[trippingbilly12]

Nice setup for the KU/UNC matchup.

Roy will get what he deserves











(Why did you leave us Roy? Why?)

[clayj41]

Come on, we had Duke down 12 in the second half at Madison Square Garden earlier this season before folding. We are much better now and would give them all they want in Austin.

I'm just bitter because it's easy in comparison with UNC's bracket.

[trippingbilly12]

I'm just bitter because it's easy in comparison with UNC's bracket.

The UNC, UCONN, KU bracket is tough as hell. :thumbsup

[clayj41]

The UNC, UCONN, KU bracket is tough as hell. :thumbsup

Hell yeah it is, but it should be fun to watch!

[unccrombie]

syracuse regional is the best, eh, nova in unc's bracket :eek

[twosteppn36]

vermont.




shit.

[trippingbilly12]

fun to watch, yes

difficult to watch, yes

[dmb1spe]

Wow, could they have given Duke an easier bracket?

I hope you're joking.

[ousooner]

With both Kansas and OU as 3 seeds, I wonder how they came to the conclusion that KU should play in OKC as opposed to OU.

[ryguy178]

Wow, could they have given Duke an easier bracket?

syracuse will beat them...and if they dont then OK will...hardly an easy bracket IMO

[unccrombie]

must...fill...out...brackets...

[seekupig]

With both Kansas and OU as 3 seeds, I wonder how they came to the conclusion that KU should play in OKC as opposed to OU.

i'd rather travel my first two games, then go to Austin for the Regionals then play in Ok. City then travel to Syracuse for the regionals. i think OU made out better in that move.

[trippingbilly12]

I'm pulling for Washington to get beat as a 1 seed in the first round. I want to see a 16 beat a 1 seed by the time I die

[trippingbilly12]

[clayj41]

As I already explained, I just think it is MUCH easier than the Syracuse bracket. I think Syracuse will be the team to come out of the Austin bracket to make the Final Four. The Austin bracket definitely isn't an easy bracket, just easier than the Syracuse bracket.

[trippingbilly12]

With both Kansas and OU as 3 seeds, I wonder how they came to the conclusion that KU should play in OKC as opposed to OU.

Would you happen to have any connections for tickets to the OKC games?

[bdb23]

Damn. I always buzzed through the bracket really fast with my prelim picks. I wound up with IL, Gonzaga, UNC, and OU in the Final Four. Must. revisit. brackets.

[dmb1spe]

As I already explained, I just think it is MUCH easier than the Syracuse bracket. I think Syracuse will be the team to come out of the Austin bracket to make the Final Four. The Austin bracket definitely isn't an easy bracket, just easier than the Syracuse bracket.

So because it's not as hard as one other bracket it becomes easy? Oh... didn't know that.

[clayj41]

must...fill...out...brackets...

That's exactly what I'm getting ready to do.

[yankeeMan888]

what the hell. Buffalo should definately be in there.

[DMBfan41]

Duke easy bracket? u kidding?

Stanford or Mississippi St. in the 2nd Round
Michigan St. or Syracuse in the 3rd
Kentucky or Olahoma in the regional final
North Carolina, Connecticut, or Kansas in the final four

I still expect them to win, but it's gonna be a hard road

[ousooner]

Would you happen to have any connections for tickets to the OKC games?

I will check around. I've been to very few concerts or sporting events that I couldn't get tickets to for less then face value outside of the arena right before the event began.

[clayj41]

So because it's not as hard as one other bracket it becomes easy? Oh... didn't know that.

Listen, I don't want to get into an argument about it. I obviously misspoke when I said it was an easy bracket. No bracket is easy, as every team has to be pretty deserving just to make the tournament. I'm sorry I called it an easy bracket.

[unccrombie]

how about pitt getting pissed on? #9 ouch

[DMBfan41]

I'm pulling for Washington to get beat as a 1 seed in the first round. I want to see a 16 beat a 1 seed by the time I die

I think my FDU should've been the higher 16 seed and be facing Washington instead of the #1 team in the tournament

[DMBfan41]

how about pitt getting pissed on? #9 ouch

I'd question them getting out of the first round

[ryguy178]

Stanford or Mississippi St. in the 2nd Round

i think im going to have to go with them losing to Syracuse...although they could even lose to Miss St. :ugh

Wow, you have OU in the Final Four. You were just telling me last week that you would take Michigan St and Wisconsin over OU in our Big 10 vs Big 12 debate.

[SatelliteEyes]

I did, but I like how the bracket shapes up for them. Kentucky is weak, both MSU and Syracuse are ripe for being upset and Duke is beatable, especially in Austin where there should be more OU fans.

hey, I call it how I see it, and I see OU in the final four. I like to think that I am a pretty impartial sports fan. For example, I am a Packers fan and I hate the Vikings, but the fact of the matter is the Packers are gonna stink next year, 8-8 at the best. The Vikes will kill the Pack. But anyway, looks like OU can make it....I still think the Big Ten is better though :)....I have Illinois winning it all

[onemoredrink41]

I'm sure she doesn't. Seems to be walking around with blinders on. Even spelling it out for her goes over her head.

If I hadn't given you rep within my last 20 rep points, bet your ass you'd get some positive for this.

Go Cats...
But rooting for the Illini as well considering what Weber's been through. Backstories like that are what make the tournament so much fun.

alright, i've filled out my bracket three times and i've come out with three different teams getting to the Final Four out of the Syracuse Region. is it because i'm a Kansas fan or is it really that tough of a region?

sounds about right...there are 3 teams capable of getting to the F4 out of that region so i wouldn't doubt what you keep getting

[bustdstuff]

Well I just got home from work, and it looks like I need to back read because it seems that our favorite person decided to visit us. I have to taunt just a little bit tonight.

So Julie how do you take that Duke just sucked so bad that they got a #1 seed? And that 8 game "streak" against UF, hows that going for you?

[dmb1spe]

All I ask is that everyone not take her as the typical UK fan. Most of us are fairly knowledgable about hoops and will call a spade a spade in terms of talent, etc. Uk's in the top 20 as far as talent, but to get a 2 seed is way overachieving in my mind.

[haildmb]

Flordia?? ? :lol :lol


I imagine this has been done already, and I'm not one to usually beat a dead horse, but you're such an annoying fucking horse so...

still laughing about Florida?

So I just got done filling out my bracket for the first time. And, so far the "upsets" I've got are:

St. Mary's over So. Illinois
Creighton over WVU
NC State over Charlotte
UCLA over TT
Arizona over Ok. State
Cincinnati over UK
GT over Washington

We'll see how many of those actually stay there.


P.S. My word there are a crapload of people on tonight.

I like the St Mary's pick. I don't see WVU losing and I can't pick against Ok. State, they have proven a lot to me

[clayj41]

My Final Four is...

Illinois
Wake
UNC
Syracuse

With UNC beating Illinois in the National Championship game.

[haildmb]

alright, i've filled out my bracket three times and i've come out with three different teams getting to the Final Four out of the Syracuse Region. is it because i'm a Kansas fan or is it really that tough of a region?


too bad I didn't make that friendly wager with ya ;) Glad my Devils held on, despite only one field goal in the last 10.5 minutes.

To the tournament:

-apparently, there is no respect for the big least by the committee, though they got more teams than the ACC and I'm not sure how many of them could hold the ACC's jock (er.... yeah). But Pitt got shit on (that rhymes), and I think BC's seed was too low as well.

-glad arizona lost yesterday. Fuck the overrated wildcats (and I don't mean jelly this time)

-Iowa State??? in the tournament??? and a 9 seed??? get a grip

-I'm glad my wolfpack got in, they stuck us in pretty much the same slot as 2 years ago, only difference was the 7 seed we played was Michigan St. In both situations however, NCSU is clearly the better team, and this year as 2 years ago, we run into UCONN in the second round. They don't have Karen Butler this time around though, so we'll see what happens.

-Too bad Wake didn't get a #1 seed, would have been awesome to not only have 3 ACC #1s, but to have them all in the same state :lol basketball in North Carolina > everyone

-GTech goes from Bubble on Friday to #5 seed? Don't get me wrong, they're fantastic and if they keep playing like this, they are the same team that went to the championship game last year. But that seems a bit odd.

-Wake's still winning the national championship

[ryguy178]

P.S. My word there are a crapload of people on tonight.

everyone is in on the "new album listening party" thread...lots of new updates and stuff from matt whos at the party going on over there...really slowing AM down tho...

So I just got done filling out my bracket for the first time. And, so far the "upsets" I've got are:

St. Mary's over So. Illinois
Creighton over WVU
NC State over Charlotte
UCLA over TT
Arizona over Ok. State
Cincinnati over UK
GT over Washington



WVU is on a roll i don't think they are going to lose...in fact, in the first version of my bracket i had them beating Wake...but im not real sure about that...if it was any of the other 2 seeds i might put WVU into the S16 i liked how they played in the tourney so much...what is everyone's thoughts on this? could they POSSIBLY beat wake??

i like NC St too although i really don't see that as an upset as much as bad seeding?

cinci is a bold move but lets not forget that kensucky sucks....

as for washington i have that happening as well but to Louisvl instead of GT...


im sure all of this will change multiple times over the next day... :ugh

[haildmb]

what is everyone's thoughts on this? could they POSSIBLY beat wake??


They would have to shoot very well, and probably have to break Justin Gray's legs... both of them, I don't think one leg would be enough. He'd still drag himself out there and score approx. 15 pts after the injury.

[Third Floor]

nah john, jgray only does that against duke. ahh the memories.

but seriously, west virginia is on a roll, yes. but beat wake? its not hard to be on a roll when the best team you play and beat is BC. hell give that schedule to clemson they go on a roll.

wake is pissed right now, not just the team, the school. we pissed. i open my door and what do i hear, people being pissed. we didnt get a #1 seed, we lost to etimov shooting from baltimore, and people are starting to question us again. plus we get paul back, he'll be real rested and thats not a good thing for other teams.

[trippingbilly12]

wake is pissed right now, not just the team, the school. we pissed. i open my door and what do i hear, people being pissed. we didnt get a #1 seed,

we lost to etimov shooting from baltimore

i dont know how much further ncstate can go. i mean, against fsu they were playing to get back to wake. against wake, hodge was playing to beat us, and look like a dick who deserved to get hit in the nuts the entire game talking to the wake bench, against duke they were playing to burst the bubble. now in the tournament. i think theyre luck will run out soon, i think people overlook uncc because no one has really heard of it. its conference usa, but it has beat cincy, depaul, memphis, and uab. theyre a good team.

[paris72]

I think State loses that game and heads home.

I have to pick a 12 over a 5 and I think I'm going with either NM over Villinova or Wis.-Milwa. over Bama.

I think UL reaches the Elite 8 with a win over Washington.

Of course, those are just predictions in 1 of my 5 brackets :rolleyes

He probably used the same word he used when talking about Carolina after the nat. champ game 2 yrs ago ;)

He can't be too surprised though. They do this shit every year (Duke and jelly 1-2 in the same region in 98, and this year for that matter).

I'd love to see UNC vs Beaks and then a UNC vs Illinois championship game. They could call it the "Bill Self sucks at life" game;).

It doesn't really matter, Kansas won't get that far. :D

BUNCH OF PRICKS. ;)





well, looks like it was my day to get negative rep. from Julie. well, i'm assuming it's her anyways. the comment simply stated "prick." anything over two syllables would have been easier to pinpoint with spelling errors, but she didn't leave me much to go on. if it was anyone else, i'm sorry Julie, huh huh huh:lol :lol

the only foul that i could see being called is for jj pushing off, not on jack.
but even more so, FIRE KARL HESS. i threw things at the tv at both state games when i saw he was the one calling the game

Stop predicting the upsets over Washington! They are #3 on the RPI bitches... and to be honest, each time somebody predicts GT over Washington I die a little inside :freak ... It had to be said.



Well anyway I've predicted Washington, Illinois, Kansas, and Duke in the final 4 so deal with it.


Edit: P.S. Pardon my profanity, but I must reiterate, it had to be said

[clayj41]

Did anyone else see Digger Phelps predict that Florida will make it to the National Championship game? I'm not saying that it can't happen, but it definitely caught me off gaurd. They are playing well though as of late.

then youre gonna die alot real soon. ga tech is not a 5 seed. they have been playing alot better as of late, meaing since elder returned.

now for the conspiracy thoery. washington being a 1 seed is a joke, theyre a good squad, but not a 1, wake should be a 1. louisville as a 4, another huge joke. gonzaga as a 3, also not really that fair, especially above lousville. so heres the conspiracy. the committee didnt want 3 #1 seeds from the acc. so they give wake a 2, but should wake be punished by this? no, gonzaga is really the 4 seed, louisville the 3, washington the 2, and wake the 1. they screwed the seeding but kept the matchups the same. its just a thoery ive heard.
