Can't wait for this shit, only time of the year I actually watch college basketball games.
Sucks I'll be at work with no sound but I'm trying to catch every game possible.
My 1st upset of the day? Northern Iowa over Perdue followed Maryland over Cal.
=D

I think Purdue is capable of making a big run. They are finally healthy, and despite my disdain for all things Big Ten, I think they are the best team from the league when healthy. I think they are capable of a Sweet Sixteen/Elite Eight type of run so I'll certainly be shocked if they lose in the first round.
Then again, that's why the tournament is so awesome.
I have VCU beating UCLA. The travel and Mr. Maynor will be too much for the Bruins. I have a few other upsets also.

Haha.
I do agree with you on Maryland. I think they'll knock off Cal if they have a cold shooting day. They can light it up from deep.
Looking down the schedule, I think Mississippi State can scare Washington, I think Minnesota can take Texas, and I think Western Kentucky will take Illinois.

That's more likely. Missouri has a really athletic team that could match-up pretty well with UConn, especially with Dyson out.

I really don't see UConn making the final 4.
Northern Iowa was one of my teams I thought could easily be a cinderella but I really like Purdue right now (even though I hate the Big Ten).

what games do you guys recommend to watch today?

|
|
Post by easy on Mar 19, 2009 10:57:37 GMT -5
all the 12/5 10/7 games etc because there's almost always an upset 16/1 probably won't be as close either.
I definitely cant' wait to see N. Iowa vs. Perdue
Maryland vs. Cal
Michigan vs. Clemosn

marty says he has no idea on college basketball this year but gives advice on what games to watch nice you're a retard. It doesn't take a genius to realize that a 10-7 game is going to be more competitive than a 16-1 game.

I have LSU. Last time I saw Butler play was the Davidson game a little under a month ago, and they looked good but I didn't think they had a fluid enough offense to do much. Love their D, though.
