Trying to go with the reverse jinx huh you faulty moral-ed individual, hope y'all lose in the 2nd round

Not at all. Fact is with Kelly, y'all only have one loss. I just think this squad reminds me of '10 squad a lot and in a week year I'll ride on a team that has the pieces and Coach K. Perimeter defense is your weakness and Russ could kill you in the elite 8 potentially but I just think it your year man.

Marshall Henderson does nothing conducive to winning basketball games. He takes a lot of shots. a lot... at a less than average clip. that's it.

He just helped lead ole miss to a SEC championship.

But he does nothing? Aight.

[henz0]

^ hell no

 

[wildkycat]

He's a good free throw shooter.

but do you know how many guys you can find that shoot 38% from the field and 36% from 3 while doing nothing else?

he lead the conference in scoring... wasn't even named to the SEC first team. the SEC.

 

[wildkycat]

he's not even in the same stratosphere as Jimmer.

 

[woody2626]

Jimmer? Lmao

Ill finish my bracket tonight after looking at kenpom

[antidope]

Who has a bracket I can copy?

I like Miami - L'Ville in the title game.

That's exactly what I have.  I absolutely love Louisville even though they were really inconsistent throughout the season. Siva, Russ, and Harrell are my dudes.

Don't sleep on FGCU against Georgetown. Our backcourt is legit, athletic frontcourt guys up front to try and contain Porter. If the game gets to the 70's we have a serious chance if we can push the tempo. Just great to see my school in it this year!

 

[crazy ebw]

I've filled out two brackets on paper looking at them over and over and I can't figure out what I want to do yet. Right now my FF is Duke, Mich, Ohio St, Indiana.

 

[henz0]

Duke, Florida, Buckeyes, Butler.. I dont know why I picked Butler, just dont like anyone else in the bracket

 

[parada45]

Mizzou laughed too last year

So did duke. Yes it's rare and probably won't happen, but you never know.

What do you guys think about the 8 VS 9 matchups? I always struggle on these.

8. Colorado St VS 9. Missouri
8. Pitt VS 9. Wichita ST
8. UNC VS 9. Villanova
8. NC State VS Temple

Mizzou has a chance in winning that one

I like Mizzou, Pitt, Nova, NC St.

Who the hell knows though.

In retrospect, you could have made the case Norfolk and Lehigh had the best player on either teams entering the game, and then O'Quinn and McCollom each proceeded to dominate the game. Duke and Missouri were also awful defensively. It'd take an uncharacteristic game on defense for Georgetown to actually get beat.

It could definitely be close, the gap between the top lines and the bottom lines just continues to shrink. We're only looking at Miami as a 12 pt favorite and OSU and G'Town as 13 point favorites. The days of rolling over 13, 14 and 15 seeds are long gone.

Just for an example the KenPom index of 15 seeds only 10 years ago:
.4841
.4518
.5224
.6775 (serious outlier)

5 years ago:
.4689
.5050
.5456
.5394

compared to this year:
.6104
.6722
.5930
.5430

Just saying, Georgetown's offense has struggled at times this season, a bad shooting night could happen to anybody. Our program is rising fast, only 2nd year D-1 eligible, head coach was assistant at FSU, good recruiter, likely going to talked about for higher-up openings soon.
