Don't like our draw

[Madbiker]

have no idea about Montana but shipped out to San Jose. Cal as a #12 was given a near home court. It's a road game if we play them and if it's UNLV it will be a home game for them. UNLV is a very physical team. The match I hate the most would be IU...didn't want to see them.

 

[Flacusian]

Cuse is going to take care of business. Think 1st half of Louisville game for 2 halfs instead of one.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Agree on all levels...birch bennet reinhardt and moser are a real good foursome

 

[CorduroyG]

not crazy about it but i think the east is the 2nd easiest region. we'd beat cal on their home court so im hoping they beat unlv.

 

[dasher]

Who cares? you have to beat good teams to win. We should beat Montana and UNLV or Cal no matter where we play. As for Indy, I bet they would not be happy to play us in D.C. if it comes to that. Pus, they haven't played as well late.

 

[AZOrange]

Cal sucks...unlv is unathletic

 

[orange79]

Montana will rain 3's on us. Have to defend well to make Dougie eat his words.

 

[HOFCeluck]

If we can make it to DC vs INdiana ill be ecstatic.

Cal is charmin soft. BIG time soft. We would roll them

 

[orange79]

Will be tough playing on the road against Cal/UNLV. But we've done it before

 

[Willy75]

Got to play somebody. I have no complaints.

Contrary to popular belief, we really don't get beat by great 3 point shooting teams all that often. We get beat by great defensive teams that can attack the back line of the zone. Montana does not have the athletic talent to guard us.

 

[Knicks411]

UNLV is 36th in Pomeroy, Cal is 58th. Potentially playing them in San Jose isn't great for us, but we'll be a strong favorite in the first round (13 points?) and will be a favorite in round 2 if we win.

I'll take any matchup but gtown/ville. F them

 

[Upstate]

UNLV is a young, gunning team. Zone could really disrupt them. Cal probably can't keep up athletically with SU.

 

[SWC75]

Eastern Regional in San Jose. Oh, for the old days...

 

[OrangeFoo]

I love it... make it to DC and anything is possible... I would be pissed if I am Indiana and I have to play Syracuse in DC.

I actually don't mind playing them... they don't play pressure D and they like to get up and down the court... we are a good matchup with them but they go deeper

 

[Bayside44]

We play in far more hostile environments. I know nothing about UNLV, or Montana, but we should be able to beat them on the moon, in California, or anywhere else. The east to west travel is fine.

Except Vermont

UNLV is a pretty good team. We should beat them if that's the matchup, but they are no pushover. We've lost to worst teams this year

Vermont did not beat us with 3 point shooting...though Sorrentines dagger is what everyone remembers.

No we haven't. Nova is better than unlv.

LOL! I love these threads. 95% of all mock brackets are "take that in a second" "walks to the elite 8" and 95% of all real brackets are "committee did us no favors" "tough draws."

 

[Alsacs]

Indiana got the TOUGHEST 8-9 game NC State-Temple. Both teams can have talent and could give the Hooisers fits 2nd round, I just want to beat Montana and actually prefer UNLV to Cal. UNLV has talent, but our zone would cause turnovers and we could score in transition against them. The worst part of the draw was San Jose, I didn't want to get Doug Gottlieb's region.

 

[Chip]

I don't think we should have much trouble getting thru to DC but Cal as a 12 in San Jose is dumb.

SU-Indiana, Verizon, that's going to be fun, even without the alcohol (still the rule right?)
