March 11, 200719 yr To me that kinda sucks that Nevada only gets a 7 seed. I'm sure they didn't have that great of a strength of schedule, but still, when Duke gets a 6 and Nevada who's been around the top 10 the last half of the season gets a 7 doesn't seem fair to me.
March 12, 200719 yr QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 09:22 PM) Haha I have Louisville going down first round. Same
March 12, 200719 yr Ohio State got a pretty simple draw IMO. Can't ask much more than 16, Mormons/Xavier, Tenn or VA, and them an untested Memphis team. I have tOSU winning the whole damn thing, so obviously they take this region. The other point that should be made is this region might have the best pound for pound entertainment matchup in the 1st round in it's 5/12 game, Tennessee vs. Long Beach State. We all know how Tennessee plays, and LBC plays a style similar to the Phoenix Suns (they scored 92 points in a regulation game in their league title game, for example). That should be some must see TV. Edited March 12, 200719 yr by whitesoxfan101
March 12, 200719 yr Man, I'm a little nervous about Tenn's first round matchup with Long Beach, but I'm confidant we'll win, especially if we play the way we did against Florida. The only problem with us is that we're not good at all on the road and got bounced by LSU in the SEC tourney. We ended the season very strong, but that loss to LSU really hurt. At least the LSU loss was in OT and 3 of our top 4 scorers combined to shoot 6 of 30. There's no way they should shoot that bad again in back to back games.

March 15, 200719 yr Louisville up 20 on Stanford with a couple minutes left in the first half. I can't believe so many people picked Stanford... (watch Stanford come back and win, making me the fool)
March 15, 200719 yr I think in my Soxtalk bracket I have the Ville going to the Elite 8. Most brackets picked them to lose to A&M just because that was the safer play but I really feel that Louisville has been coming on strong.

I took A & M all the way to the final 4 because their defensive numbers this season were that good, so yeah, I have Louisville in the 16.

March 15, 200719 yr Oh I dont have the Big East beating any good teams. I just feel A&M and the Big 12 are vastly over rated. For Ville to get to the Elite 8m, they would only have to beat A&M and Memphis who might be the most over rated 2 and 3 seeds.

That's really all I need to say about A&M. Everyone thinks Memphis is overrated. They are this year's Tennessee (2 seed last year was a crock and they proved it). Funny that the two teams are from the same state.
