Soxbadger Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Interesting draw for Wisconsin. Hopefully they can play well the first 2 games and give Kentucky problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 MIZ. The year is already a success getting to the tournament after losing 3 starters and their best 2 players. Let's win a game for gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Jay Bilas is really loving on Cornell. I like their team too but Elite 8? Wisconsin vs. Kentucky would be and incredibly interesting matchup and Wisco could potentially give UK some fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuiceCruz16 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 04:59 PM) Interesting draw for Wisconsin. Hopefully they can play well the first 2 games and give Kentucky problems. I took Wisky over Kentucky in the sweet 16 upset ( hope they at least get there to play UK). Then bowing out to West Virginia in the elite 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 My dark horse team here is Temple. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see them make a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see them make a run. I agree. I was bummed to see Cornell land in the opposing spot, because I would have liked to see both these teams advance a round or two.

MEANS Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 yeah I'm pissed, being a Temple allum. I wish they would have gotten an easier first game, oh well, hope they can get hot and make a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Seems that the powers that be wanted Kentucky to be tested by a superior defensive team. Placing Temple and Wisconsin in their bracket gives them an opportunity to either face the #3 most efficient defense (Temple's adjusted rank per Pomeroy) or Wisconsin who is #6. Both Temple and Wisconsin seem to be great defensive teams, if they play I believe Wisconsin holds the edge as their offense was the 13th most efficient, compared to Temple's 77th. For comparison, Kentucky is the 18th most efficient offense and 10th most efficient defense. Pomeroy has Wisconsin as his 3rd strongest team though, so they are getting a ton of love from his numbers. http://kenpom.com/rate.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have Cornell losing to Temple in the first round but I like the fact that Bilas actually went out on a limb cause most of these experts go all chalk, all the way, all the time.

LittleHurt05 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 This UW/Marquette game has been the best watch of the tourney. It doesnt have the Cinderella stories or might not have the crazy ending that the other games have had, but its a just a fun, exciting, good game of basketball.

southsider2k5 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Marquette squandered that one down the stretch. They couldn't finish at the rim in the last 5 minutes of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Pretty amazing how entitled the Longhorns players think they are, both in football and now in basketball. They just feel that if they show up to the game, they have done their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
