March Madness!

[gabefergy]

This is a thread to talk all things March Madness. Who do you think will win? Who do you think got snubbed? Who do you think this year's Cinderella's will be?

Also, is anyone interested in doing a BR.com brakcet challenge?

yeah Cuse had a very good season. I think they only lost like 2 or 3 games all year. They are a #1 seed and have a good shot at winning it all. The only thing is they have a history of choking in the Big Dance.

I'm a fan of the cuse.. Not only do they choke normally in the big dance, this year they are a terrible defensive rebounding team and can't shoot the 3 ball. Plus scoop is MIA.
So they are scaring me going into the dance

I am also a Cuse fan and I couldn't agree more. They have been bad the last few years in the tournament so hopefully they turn it around this year to let the seniors go out on top.

I've always liked them. I'm a fan of teams that play good defense and I love watching them play the 2-3 effectively

Wisconsin UVA USF and Drexel all have played great defense this year and been fun to watch

Mizzou? They a 2 seed they don't count hahaha

And Murray state has this game.. Their defense is legit. They need to start shooting better outside though

Lol I still consider them a cinderella cause they arent expected to do much. No way, Colorado has it.

[codizzle]

Its not Defense, its crap playing by Colo. Some of these turnovers are rediculous.

True that. Its not looking good for mine so far lol. Come on guys its only a 13 point deficit lol

[codizzle]

Well picking byu is turning out to be a terrible decision

[ghost1986]

I didn't do a bracket this year. I just decided to watch the tournament. I like Roy Williams and Rick Petino. Calipari's team could go all the way as long as their free throw percentage is better than when he was coaching at Memphis. But it's March Madness and it's always possible to have an upset. I still think last year's NCAA Championship was the most boring and sloppy. I turned it off after the first half. Louisville played good earlier, but they need to clean up on their fouls. They gave Davidson too many chances at the end with stupid fouls. You don't foul with two minutes to go when you're up by 13.
