#1 in East
Round 1: Stony Brook
Round 2: Iowa State or Alabama
Round 3: Indiana
Round 4: Michigan State or Duke

Missouri is the #1 in the West, so it'd be them or UNC in the Final Four.


Talk about an awesome road to New Orleans...

If we land the #1 in the East I'd say it's an 80% chance we make the final four. If not higher.

 

[rrlbees]

I'll take that road in a heartbeat.

 

[jdubs30]

Avoiding UK/OSU until Monday night would be massive as well.

 

[armory]

I honestly think we would destroy both Indiana and Duke. They would be dumbfounded against our zone.

I agree about Indiana but not so sure about Duke. They have a lot of 3 point shooters who can get hot. I think Scoop, BT, and Dion will penetrate their D pretty easily and the goofy looking Kelly dude will not be able to defend CJ. As long as our zone can extend out against the 3 I think we're good but its not a given.

NO DOUBT... i am salivating over that line up.

Indiana wont even make the sweet 16

I mostly agree, except that Mich St could be real tough. We all know what Izzo usually does in the tourney, and he has a solid squad this year with all the needed ingredients to make a deep run.
Neither Duke or Indiana, however, worry me at all.

Love that draw. While Duke can shoot the 3 (best in ACC I believe) they do not rebound well which is great for us, they have the worst FG% against in the ACC (do not play great interior D). We are far more athletic. Mich St is always tough because they can punish a team on the boards but they are not a real good offensive team. If we can avoid UK, OSU, and UNC until the FF...I like our chances.

That's been their MO the past couple of years, but they're considerably better on offense this year. Appling as a PG is the real deal and they have a few good shooters as well as a few strong low-post players. They'll be dangerous in the tournament.

I watched them play a few times this year... including this weekend against michigan. I just think we would pee on their faces much like we did in the garden a few years ago. No fear of them whatsoever. I think we'de beat them by double digits going 4-18 from 3.

Agree but we aren't going to get by playing nobody at all. Personally I want to play Duke.

Indiana better watch out for Iona.

It would be great to join the ACC having just knocked Duke out of the prior year's NCAA tournament.

Where do I sign...

 

[PoppyHart]

Sweet, we play Stony Brook in hoops as well as football. Can we get them on the lax schedule?

 

[baggerbob]

I want to play michigan st in boston to make up for 2000 when we got screwed playing them almost on their home floor. Since that time Izzo has had problems playing JB because our talent is equal or better then his.

Yes please.

SU WALKS to the title game. WALKS.

 

[armory]

As anyone who was along for the 2003 ride remembers, it's as much about where you play as who you play. Being in the East is crucial.

Unless you're UConn...

I get that it's more convenient to rationalize that we lost because we played that game in Michigan, but that game was lost on the bench. When you're up 14 in the 2nd half and then get outscored 28-0 to end the game - you have to actually make adjustments. Yelling at Blackwell to cover 2 players simultaneously on his wing does not constitute a change in strategy.

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

that team really tried hard...just so limited offensively.
