I know, its a tough call. I feel like if they played like they did against Duke this past weekend, they have a good shot. and yes they will need work from Jack and Byrnum...both are very good players. morrow has been solid in big games off the bench. But thie down low game bothers me. They can run three guards
Jack, Byrnum, and morrow. run a fast paced game and beat Udubb, IMO

yeah i agree with that but i haven't decided if i want to change it yet or not. maybe i'll sleep on it. i'm really counting on louisville to lose to g-tech in the 2nd round but you never know they're just one of those teams that could turn it on in the tourney and go to the final 4 if they wanted. that would really screw a bunch of people i think

it could, which is why I play different brackets conservatively and others more risky.

I think my cuse making it to the final four is a whim guess..albeit educated to some degree.
They can beat dook if JJ is off, and can handle Kentucky with their experience versus youth. Then again Dook can knock them out if JJ is on.
I can't wait till tomorrow...I am getting up at 630am, eating breakfast, going to hit golf balls, coming back here at 930am and watching games all day.

I know I might be a bit bias, but if Mcgants is 80%...there is no team in the country that can beat UNC right now...IMO (albeit slighty bias)

Best game of the first four should be Pitt vs. Pacific.

you know UW-Mil isn't a bad team, but if Alabama can keep the game to a slower pace, it will be an easy win,

Once Mil. starts running with the ball, they have the oppourtunity to score 10-14 pts real quickly.

Overall I think Bama's defense will be too much.

right...but how many times has Gerry been off in big games. The answer is never.
they'll get him the ball enough at the end when it comes to free throws.

I thought Bama would slow down the tempo effectively and play their game...

Hmmm... I wonder if Bama can slow the tempo.

Looks like Mil came out strong from the timeout. up by 14 again,

yeah its been their thing all year.
but its so known, Bama should have worked on it better.
I mean shit on ESPN's tactics to beat Mil. it says, you can't let them get two steps ahead. If you can hold the game, you will keep them down.

I am going back and forth, and it looks like Milwaukee has just been beating them on the running game...I mean shit they have 70 points with 3 mins left in the 1st half. You know thats a fast paced game,

I'm actually surprised with Mil. defense. THey are putting a ton of pressure on bama.

I'm also surprised Pitt isn't putting up a better fight. Pacific is good but working on more recent momentum if anything.

That one dude on Pacific is badass... and Pitt really doesn't have the team to put up a fight against the bigger team that Pacific has.

Yango and Maraker.

I have pitt on three pools and pac on three pools. so we'll see...I thought it was as toss up from the beginning.

I'm upset I missed the Mil pick, I knew about them, I just figured bama could hold them. Either way I have BC winning second round in all my pools

UM-W can run, and should run into the sweet 16.

Iowa and Cincy, that should be todays better game. I really hate the Hawkeyes, but I think they will run hard with Cats. Cats by 2.

UTEP > Utah

Yea, didn't really see Bama being down like this...

BC isn't doing crap... they are on a slide that isn't going to stop.

Sweet 16 is pushing it...

Iowa and Cincy is going to be a treat...

Utah > UTEP... and it will be the lowest scoring game of the day.

You're getting a pretty good run out of them, then...

Didn't pay much attention to Niagara... don't know anybody exceptional on that team, as far as my knowledge goes.

Brooks is Solid, he can light it up from deep
But they won't upset
