*OFFICIAL* Which team(s) do we want no part of come tourney time? thread

[texascpa]

As it goes every season, usually starting the first week of the season, there are teams us fans apparently want no part of come tourney time. Their current team makeup, their matchup potention, their style of play, their history or their coach just scares the bejeesus out of us. And since the tourney selection is one week away, I thought it's about time to consolidate that list of "Teams I want no part of come tournament time". I will update the list as folks post them:

Teams I Want No Part Of (with number of picks):

Louisville - 9
Wisky - 3
Florida - 4
Cinci - 4
Okie St. - 2
Creighton - 8
OSU - 1
- 2
Vermont - 1 (Um, I think they just lost in their conference tourney, so they won't even be dancin')
St. Francis - 1
LeMoyne - 1 (Thank goodness they're not DI )
Pitt - 1
Michigan - 1
Iowa St. - 2
Harvard - 1
MSU - 2
Nova - 1
Arizona - 1
Nebraska - 1
Delaware - 1
Eastern Kentucky - 1 (Vermont Part Deux?)

 

[HakAttack]

Louisville, (Pitino) Wisky (Their pace and lack of TOs) and Florida (Best all-around team right now).

Everyone else, bring em' on!

 

[jimsonjunction]

Cincinnati - sneaky team around the 4/5 line who is familiar with us. Plays tough defense, and Kilpatrick can take over games.

 

[CraigForth]

I think Oklahoma St is hitting it's stride - don't want any part of them right now

Creighton
Florida

 

[NashvilleOrange]

Creighton, excellent 3 point shooting and a star that can carry them.

 

[jekelish]

Louisville is #1 on my list. Pitino + Russdiculous = potential recipe for disaster for us.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Cincinnati - sneaky team around the 4/5 line who is familiar with us. Plays tough defense, and Kilpatrick can take over games.

That was my immediate thought as well.

Creighton is a good call also.

 

[runningorange]

Ohio State (in the round of 32). Will welcome the chance to play them later on though

 

[Trueblue25]

Creighton
Cincinatti

Florida
Louisville
St. Francis/Vermont.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Ohio State (in the round of 32). Will welcome the chance to play them later on though

Forget that. We crush them regardless of round. Screw them.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Creighton
Cincinatti

Florida
Louisville
St. Francis/Vermont.

Vermont will not be in the tourney this year. NIT for the Catamounts this season.

 

[Trueblue25]

Vermont will not be in the tourney this year. NIT for the Catamounts this season.

Thank God.

 

[HarrisonJBounel]

LeMoyne.

"Fear the priest!"

 

[SoBeCuse]

Louisville,
Iowa St.
Cincinnati
Oklahoma St.
Creighton
Michigan

 

[EastCoast2]

Pitt

 

[OttoinGrotto]

It's not so much teams as much as coaches that have a lot of experience with the zone, ie, Rick "48 Seconds in Heaven" Pitino.

 

[Lawrinson14]

I am more worried about us going through a 10 minute cold streak on offense than I am about any opponent.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Good call.

 

[Brooky03]

I'm literally not scared of any team this year. Nobody has been dominant enough to warrant that. Are there playing styles that could be difficult for us to face? Sure. Is that enough to make them scary? Not in my book.

I'm not saying this to sound cocky or elitist, but this is Syracuse basketball. We shouldn't be scared of anybody.

btw, my definition of a 'scary team' would be a team we would expect to lose to in 6+ out of 10 games (i.e. the majority of the time). Nobody fits that bill. Anybody could beat us once or a few times, but that's not scary.

 

[texascpa]

What? No MSU yet?

 

[JohnCuse44]

Louisville
Creighton

 

[NineOneSeven]

L'ville
MSU
Wisconsin

Sleeper- Harvard.

 

[Trueblue25]

In reality I just don't wanna see Nova or Uconn.

 

[BlackKnight76]

Creighton, mostly.
Louisville would not be fun either.

 

[Bortukal]

Definitely Creighton.
Louisville
Michigan
Michigan State
Pitt, although if we met them in an Elite 8 matchup, I'd like our chances
