Way Too Early Andy Katz Bracketology

[orange79]

Andy Katz filled out a preseason NCAA tournament bracket. Let's break it down. | NCAA.com

SU is a 3 seed. Reasonable.

Hate to break it to you, kids, but we're not going to the Final Four. We're losing to Nevada in the Sweet 16. Bummer.

Ah well, football is right around the corner.

 

[Briancuse]

Well it was a nice run.

 

[TacoTime75]

Me thinks Nevada would be flummoxed by the zone.

Nevada has a talented team but I think people are overrating them a bit.

 

[pearl31]

We're losing to Nevada

:rolling:

 

[OrangeDW]

What an idiot and disloyal person.

 

[upperdeck]

wasnt nevada a huge comeback away to not get into the tourney last year

 

[HOFCeluck]

Am I late for the meltdown?

 

[moqui]

Just because Andy says it, doesn't make it so.

WRONG

 

[PoppyHart]

LOL, he has UVA beating Sparty in the S16.

 

[dasher]

WRONG

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl harbor?

 

[ClamOtto]

I would not want to face Georgia State in the first round

 

[teamco]

The Germans?
Forget it, he's rolling!

 

[Delmar]

Do we still play the season or is this it?

If so, I'm really ticked off. That back court violation against us late in the Nevada game was a terrible call by the ref. Deja vu all over again.

Nevada is big and experienced. They are some people's choice for Dark Horse this year.

 

[ORANGEsPHK]

Me thinks Nevada would be flummoxed by the zone.

I'm flummoxed by the word flummoxed .

What are we talking about???

 

[Lucid]

I'm glad Katz did it, saved me having to do it myself. I agree with him 100%.

That's it no point of playing see you guys next year.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Katz is going to outshine Mr Toupee this year and make his former employer look stupid.

Nevada and Syracuse are very parallel teams.

Both teams return their lineups from last year (which both had zero depth) which had a similar level of success , and add in a number of pieces so that they now have good depth. Its arguable, given the experience level, that Nevada's pieces are a bit better.

But both teams will have the same challenge of properly integrating depth into lineups that are largely used to going almost the all 40.

But you neglected the fact that SU has doubled the # of Boeheims on the bench this year. Advantage: SU

Nevada and Syracuse are very comparable in terms of their talent level and experience. But there's one thing Nevada doesn't have that Syracuse does have: Jim Boeheim coaching them in the NCAA tournament. A bit surprising that Andy didn't factor that into his evaluation...

The Boeheim factor is immeasurable. Cannot account for it.
