2009-2010 NCAA Basketball

I like you SR, but as a UNC alum, I cannot pull for dook .

It's not in my genetics.

...UNC is not in this year what is this the first time in what 12 or 13 years:dunno:

Yes, we all have our crappy years... this has been a great year for Duke. If it had been an equally great year for UNC, I probably wouldn't be a happy Jinxypie today.

Coach K is the man, but that Roy Williams ain't half bad.
 
Florida in :D Like their chances to do damage. Temple and Purdue 5 and 4 seeds, ridiculous. Georgetown a 3, too high for a 10 loss team who lost about half their conference games. ND at 6, no sense. No problem with 1 seeds. Va Tech > Minnesota. I dont see the argument for Illinois and Mississippi State who had terrible home losses. Watch out for New Mexico, who had a case for the final 2 seed. All Mississippi NIT final, UM vs MSU.

Plus Duke has a favorable bracket. Why does Kansas have to struggle?

Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!
Good news for Iowa basketball fans - Todd Lickliter has been given the pink slip; Gary Barta needs to at least hire a coach that can recruit Big Ten caliber players, unlike what Lickliter did by recruiting Horizon League type players all of the time.
 
Like I've been saying before the season started.....

:sing:Roooock chaaaaaalk... Jaaaay-Haaaaawk... Kaaay Uuuuu:sing:

No team has the experience, talent, depth, and coach like KU does.

Final 4 - Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse, and Baylor.

Kansas def. Kentucky to win the National title.

Interesting choice with Baylor, Will. They have very quietly been absolutely awesome this year. Never being considered a basketball power (and being from fucking Waco), they don't get much press. However, they sure handed the over-rated and under-coached Texas team (Rick Barnes should be fired after what happened to that team this year) 2 serious ass-kickings in conference play and are a power to be reckoned with. I'd love to see it happen but don't think it will....certainly possible for sure.

I tend to agree with your final analysis as well. If they are clicking on all 8 cylinders, I think Kansas is the team to beat. I don't think anyone will be able to rise to the challenge.

My Elite 8 predictions:

Midwest: Kansas over Ohio State (this will be a great game!) Sorry, BI, your Bucks come up just short against the Jayhawks.
West: Syracuse over Kansas State (this will also be a great game) And see, BI, I didn't pick a Big 12 team! :1orglaugh
East: Kentucky over Missouri (Mizzou's "48 minutes of hell" style is too much for everyone except the Wildcats). Kentucky has the easiest road to the final four. They'll kill the Tigers.
South: Villanova over Duke (I would have picked Purdue if Hummel wasn't hurt.) Sorry Andronicus....that sucks for you BIG TIME. I feel your pain, brother!

In the final four, Kansas takes out Syracuse and Kentucky beats Villanova. Then, the Jayhawks win it all against Kentucky.

Remember, you heard it here first.
 
I got Kansas, Xavier, West Virginia, Duke. KU beats WVU for title. Major Upsets: Wofford beats Wisconsin in 1st Rd, FSU beats Syracuse in 2nd Rd, Xavier beats K State 3rd.

You heard it here first. Iowas St over Kansas in the second round.

I have Ohio State, Kansas St, West Virgina and Duke.
