NEW.ERA Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Quote me on this when the time has come April 4th the Final Four will be Louisville vs. UConn Pittsburgh vs. SyracuseI quoted you .I'm gonna have to really think about this, although I'm pumped about the teams in the Midwest Regional (I already said that didn't I). I hope the Buckeyes can knock off the Cardinals in Round 2. I also think this is the year for a 16 to win one.Well I think the strongest 16 is East Tennessee State but this is one of the strongest group of 1 seeds around so it's gonna be quite the climb.

Jimmy! Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I don't think Tradition played into Arizona getting in at least I hope not but who actually thinks they deserved to get in wins over Gonzaga and Kansas are impressive especially the blowing out of the National Champs, 9-9 in the Pac 10, 62nd in the RPI and 0-9 on the road that's horrible I mean they'll put up a good fight against the Utes and maybe even upset them.We say it every year the the committee should look at who should be in who should be out we should just look forward to a great tournament.Sorry. No way Arizona should have made it in over St. Mary's or San Diego State. And UW/Miss. State is going to be a tough matchup.

Cujo Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Don't see a 16 beating a 1 this year. Maybe if Memphis had gotten a 1, ETSU might have had a shot.Some no-name 16 hung real tough with #1 UConn a few years back, but fell apart down the stretch. That's as close as I've seen since during my lifetime.Still, I'd love to witness the upset of all upsets. I don't care if it's this year and I do not care if it screws up everyone's brackets!

McCall Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I don't give a damn who wins the tourney, or who makes the final four...I just find it ludicrous that anyone would clamor for Memphis to be a #1 and Missouri to be a #2.And I find it ludicrous that you think people can't have their own opinions and are automatically idiots if it's not the same as yours.I also find it ludicrous that you think I care that much about what you have to say. Think whatever you want. I don't really give a damn. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the NCAA panel started giving the higher/top seeds a regional advantage a decade or so ago, lower seeds should never have home-court over a #1, and therefore should have been factored in.

It's hard enough to construct a bracket without worrying about the possibility of a certain specific double-digit seed finding its way into the regional semis, let alone in the one regional semis/finals site that they might possess a home court advantage.If seedings had held up elsewhere, George Mason would have had to go through North Carolina, Michigan State, and Tennessee before Connecticut. All but the most ardent George Mason supporter would suspect that one of those 3 would be able to take them down.Besides-it's not like Connecticut didn't have its chances to win the game-they very easily could have won it, and have only themselves to blame for not doing so.

McCall Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 As mentioned on espn.com, if Memphis and Mizzou meet up in the Sweet 16, Memphis could be in trouble. The last Conference USA team to beat Memphis? UAB. UAB's head coach at the time? Mike Anderson. Mizzou's current head coach? You guessed it, Mike Anderson.Plus when Mizzou and Marquette meet up... whew. That's gonna be some runnin' and gunnin' going on there. Although I currently have Marquette falling in the first round to Utah State. That game is just screamin' upset.And Drew, I too love your bracket...
