attn Kentucky Bore: Texas might fuck you up in the second round

jjasper · « **Reply #1 on:** March 16, 2010, 06:07:04 PM »

Has Texas even played basketball in the last 3 months?

T234 · « **Reply #2 on:** March 16, 2010, 06:16:20 PM »

I'm not sure either.

AND WHERE'S KARAKAND

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3 on:** March 16, 2010, 06:20:30 PM »

I'm telling you, that's going to be a tough game. I'm not willing to pull the trigger on it, but damn it's tempting because it could fuck up millions of brackets.

The first draft of my bracket has Duke going out to Louisville, but that seems kinda ridiculous. Duke was handed the easiest possible bracket, but I'm still not convinced. I took them out early last year and got it 100% right; obviously they're way better this year but I just don't trust them.

huckleberry · « **Reply #4 on:** March 16, 2010, 06:42:08 PM »

Kentucky has to get past E. Tenn. St. first.

Don't laugh - they were the same fuckers who almost took out Pitt last year.

I also actually agree with PD....I think Texas wins that game. $:-\$

Bocsius · « **Reply #5 on:** March 16, 2010, 06:53:39 PM »

Texas gets past Wake because the ACC will go 1-6 in this tournament and Wake-Texas ain't the 1.

I'd take the Cardinals over Duke, too. Duke can't shoot outside of Cameron. No path to the Final Four is too easy for my Blue Devils.

jjasper · « **Reply #6 on:** March 16, 2010, 07:22:48 PM »

Kentucky has arguably the toughest route. While the Midwest probably has the best teams they are all on the lower side of the bracket and Kansas will only have to play 1 of them, Kentucky on the other hand could have to play Texas, Wisconsin, West Virginia just to get out to the final four.

ferrarimanf355 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 16, 2010, 07:42:28 PM »

Signed up and filled it. I think Syracuse is going to go all the way...

etiolate · « **Reply #8 on:** March 16, 2010, 08:07:04 PM »

I'm basically following all potential Sacto Draft picks. So Go Kentucky, Kansas, Georgetown, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest?

And is that UCSB, UC Santa Barbara?

bachikarn · « **Reply #9 on:** March 16, 2010, 08:24:03 PM »

I can see Kentucky easily slipping up and not making the Final Four, but I doubt it will be to Texas. Texas has a lot of talent, but I don't see how can anyone who has seen them play the past 3 months really think they'll upset any teams.

We've got three different channels showing games here: CBS, CBS College Sports and our CBS affiliate is running more games on a digital channel.

You're from kentucky(but not louisville). It's basically assumed that you're going to always have UK winning the NCAA tournament on your bracket(even if like last year they weren't even in the tournament).

Bloodwake · « **Reply #34 on:** March 19, 2010, 08:45:26 PM »

Not true. Most years I don't pick Kentucky to win it all, especially the last 10 years or so because they haven't had the fucking team to do so.

Bocsius · « **Reply #35 on:** March 20, 2010, 01:26:23 AM »

Heh, it looks like I undersold the ACC. Sure, Clemson took the L and Florida State mailed it in versus Gonzaga, but Wake and Georgia Tech pulled (minor) upsets and Duke and Maryland handled their business. So, 4-2, far cry from the 1-5 I expected in the first round (at best, 2-4).

And it looks like Duke won't lose to Louisville on Sunday.

Cal, on the other hand...

I held my nose when picking the South bracket. I had Villanova coming out of it despite their recent swoon, because somebody had to come out of it and I just didn't trust any of the other teams, either.

Oh well, live and learn. Next time, I'm picking no one.

There was some girl in the no iowa section of the stands with a "My Big Bros Rock" sign, I assume referring to her bigger brother playing for No. Iowa. It was too damned cute.

MSU on a tournament roll again. I had them losing to Maryland. They really fell apart towards the end of the season, and didn't have any impressive road wins. I guess the lesson learned: don't doubt Izzo

Is Wake F. really that bad of a team?

Yes.

They lost something like 5 of their last 6 before the tournament, including being blown out by last place Miami in the first round of the ACC tournament. I guess they were lucky enough to play another team in the middle of a death spiral in the first round of the NCAA, but luck quickly ran out.

Anyway, as expected, all the scrubs from the ACC are now gone. Truthfully, going by seeding, only Maryland should have had a shot at the sweet 16, but I didn't trust them any more than the rest of the also-rans of the conference. I was actually surprised a couple of them (GT, Wake) won in the first round.

So now it's down to Duke, whom I still don't trust, but I think their road still looks pretty favorable.

Groogrux · « **Reply #59 on:** March 21, 2010, 09:20:41 PM »

I think everyone pretty much ripped their brackets in half after that second round. Holy shit, this tourny is messed up...
