March Madness 2008 - Page 2

WillzZz · 02-05-2008, 05:28 PM

I encourage everyone to recall my absolute dominance of NCAA march madness last year and bow to my greatness. Only missed 4 games I think? And only 1 wrong sweet sixteen.

Gators are taking a year off, only the sweet sixteen this year. We'll see tonight @Tenn. If we can pull this off we're a solid 10 seed. If we can steal a game or two and get some good matchups, sweet sixteen is possible I think. Hard to pick a team to take it all at this point, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Memphis grab it all this year over UCLA. Likewise, Memphis @ Tenn will an important matchup.

I somehow forgot about UCLA even though I was so high on them pre-season. As long as Kevin Love keeps dominating like he is, I could see them going all the way.

As a UNC grad I have to root for my boys but I'm concerned about their off nights. If we have another game like Duke (granted, no Lawson, but we could have won easily if Ellington wasn't 3/14 and Green wasn't 1/9) we're totally hosed in the tournament.

Honestly I think Kansas has the best shot at a title, or maybe UCLA. Memphis will fold like they always do since they play in such a weak sauce conference.

What's wrong with Duke now? Ever since I told a friend I thought they were the most complete team in the country, they've been on a horrific slide.

They live by the 3 and die by the 3.

If they have an off shooting night against anyone in the top 20 they are going to lose. When they beat UNC they shot lights out, UNC had one of their worst shooting games of the year and a backup PG starting and still nearly beat them.

I wont' argue that, but now they're consistently turning the ball over like 20 times a night. I think they had like fucking 16 in the FIRST HALF against Miami.

Thats true too, they haven't done a good job of protecting the ball.

These losses might help them come tournament time though.
