I went Baylor. This pool is tough, can't repeat teams so you can't use all the guns up front.

Yup, I was in one as well and boom went Mizzou...

UAB Fired Mike Davis. Yes, that one.

That's what, 3 Big 10 teams in the Sweet 16 already? And the #1 seed hasn't played their 2nd round game yet?

Not that my opinion means a damn thing but I'd go Baylor. Gonzaga has enough skill to at least hang with OSU...

Thoughts on Florida tomorrow? Otherwise it's nab an MSU/UNC/Kansas.

Most likely game winners tomorrow:

 

South Florida

Michigan St.

North Carolina

Sorry I didn't see this but Florida or South Florida is what I would have went with.

 

MSU-SLU is gonna be a battle and I haven't seen a Henson update but if he doesn't play(though I'm sure he is) Dougie might go off for 800 points but if he does play I'd be pretty surprised if UNC lost.

Oh my, Scott Drew is shady, imagine that

 

 

 

 

Shady yes but not surprising.

 

I also wouldnt be quick to judge if I was a fan of a school that brought in so many transfers.

I know its over, but usf? That game was a toss up at best.

 

Next week will be impossible to navigate.

Texas Coach Rick Barnes spoke openly about his adversarial relationship with Drew and his disapproval of A.A.U. coaches of top recruits being hired by universities, a practice that is becoming more common.

 

“There’s a line that he knows that he can’t cross with me,” Barnes said of Drew. “He knows that. He definitely knows that.”

 

Drew has a reputation in college basketball circles for recruiting by talking negatively about other schools.

 

“If they’re saying things about us, I would think they wouldn’t,” Barnes said. “I’ve had that discussion that it’s going to be above board in terms of how things need to be done.”

 

Asked if he had anything else to say about Drew’s recruiting practices, Barnes said, “I wish I could.”

 

 

The next time you hear about something shady with Fred Hoiberg as the coach, feel free to post it.

Ten of the Sweet Sixteen schools are within 200 miles of Indiana. Seven of them are within 100 miles. Four are within 30 miles.

And only one of them is located in the state of Indiana. Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin, & Kentucky all have more teams left than Indiana.

I understand that, but it's a remarkable occurrence that 62.5% of the teams remaining are in such a compact geographic area, and Indiana happens to be at the center of that area.

It is amazing how much Indiana talent is fueling those teams too.

Yes, ten of the Sweet Sixteen have a total of 16 Indiana players on their rosters. Seven of the 16 players average double figures in scoring.

Let's blow up every state except Indiana. As long as their truly is more than corn there...

It could be like the Hunger Games. Indiana will be the Capitol and everywhere else will be Districts in charge of producing everything Indiana needs to play basketball better than everyone else.

4 are from Ohio.

Oh man, thanks a lot of getting that commercial stuck in my head.

I'm sorry.

Not gonna happen but would be awesome if 3 out of the Final 4 were B10

2 of 4 is definitely a possibility (OSU and MSU). I have OSU playing Wisconsin in the Elite 8, just not a huge fan of Syracuse (especially without Melo).
