View Full Version : Spurstalk Madness

Dunno if someone usually sets this up, but figured a Spurstalk March Madness bracket challenge would make for some good shit-talking (which is the foundation of the NBA forum). Who knows, maybe we can get Kori to throw a trophy or spur to the winner.

Set it up on yahoo, click HERE (http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/register/joinprivategroup_assign_team?GID=54102&P=gnsf) to join.

Kentucky will make the final four but I'm still hesitant to pick a team that plays disheveled monkey ball to win it all.

I have MSU going out of West. But with Mizzou, Marqutte it is tough region. Should be easy for UNC and Kentucky. Cuse wont make FF. FSU or OSU there. Belmont in Sweet 16 ? Hell yeah

I have Cuse winning it all this year. North Carolina's a dud, but I was impressed by how they mopped the floor with Fluke a week or so ago.
Cuse is another team I'm always hesitant to pick because they run into a team that shreds their zone defense.

Could Vandi do it ? How are they versus Zone Defense ? I havent watched them at all in SEC.

Mal
03-11-2012, 06:17 PM
Vanderbilt played Kentucky well but lightning won't strike twice.

I got Kentucky to FF, only because they lost to Vandi. They needed another lost.

Kentucky dont play zone D. Against Cuse you should shot 3s , just like cincy. That`s why FSU or OSU will take them down in elite 8.

I have Sparty beating the Seminoles in the Final...UK and Kansas round out my FF

Ryan Fitzpatrick
03-11-2012, 06:24 PM
I have Cuse, UK, OSU, FSU...then Cuse over UK.

Cuse is a good pick. Jimmy Boeheim and Tom Izzo are great tourney coaches imo

Pretty retarded prediction since Vanderbilt has underachieved massively in the last several tournaments it's been in.

You can count on them always as a 4 or 5 seed to lose in the first round.

This is my bracket except I have FSU over Ohio State. I always pick OSU to get upset because they rely on great shooting and are more vulnerable when they aren't shooting well.

Mizzou/Michigan St. is the hardest pick of the bracket tbh. Marcus Denmon is the truth though, so I'm rolling with Mizzou. In fact I have them taking it all. I know, I know...the lack of size is glaring, but size at times isn't utilized as well at the collegiate level as speed and scoring ability. I got Florida St. playing spoiler yet again and using their defense to carry them to the final.

Final Four - Kentucky, Mizzou, Florida St., UNC

Final - Mizzou vs. Florida St.

Champion - Mizzou

dude, that was such a weak call for that moment. He made the FT too...if he makes the second then it goes into OT and it's a new game.

Saying that was the right call is the equivalent of saying "well, you can call holding on technically every NFL play." Doesn't mean you should. I thought it was weak when it happened--then I checked the spread--now it looks REALLY shady.

I never put too much weight on it when a team has been mediocre all year then goes on a huge run in its conference tourney, but then again that train of thought bit me in the ass last year when UCONN came out of nowhere after winning the big east tourney, and it's biting me in the ass this year given that I picked Louisville and Vandy to get upset in the 1st round.

actually 9-1, but who's counting? :lol

purdue can make 5 big ten teams in sweet 16 with a 10-1 record. not too bad.

and 19-17? I see 20-13

My bad, i was looking at my live bracket instead of the game and it had the score at 19-17.

What are everybody's picks this week?

imho

1 Kentucky vs 4 Indiana
3 Baylor vs 10 Xavier
1 Michigan St vs 4 Louisville
3 Marquette vs 7 Florida
1 Syracuse vs 4 Wisconsin
2 Ohio St vs 6 Cincinatti
1 North Carolina vs 13 Ohio
2 Kansas vs NC State

Upsets:

-Xavier over Baylor because of Baylor always playing down to their opponent and because of Xavier's experienced backcourt. Frease vs Acy should be a good matchup

-Louisville over Michigan St because Louisville is the better team right now imo. Able to win ugly games like they did against New Mexico is a good sign

Ryan Fitzpatrick
03-21-2012, 05:25 PM
Kentucky over Indiana
Baylor vs Xavier
Michigan St. vs Louisville
Marquette vs Florida (best matchup of Sweet 16, imho)
Syracuse vs Wisconsin
Ohio St vs Cincinnati
UNC vs Ohio
Kansas vs N.C. State

Only have Florida and Cincy pulling off upsets

Syracuse squeaks by Wisconsin, 64-63. Elite 8 w/o Fab Melo. Mich St is losing badly to Louisville in a brutally boring game--that score holds and I'm fucked (good upset call BUMP).

13th seed Ohio and 1 Seed UNC heading to OT. Ohio missed a free throw that would have won it.

Ryan Fitzpatrick
03-23-2012, 08:54 PM
This game going to OT provides my only shred of hope for UNC to cover:lol

Goran Dragic
03-23-2012, 09:02 PM
Even though UNC is probably gonna win this I have no confidence in them the way they've looked. They should just play PJ Hairston at PG rather than this scrub who takes the ball up the court then forces a pass to Harrison Barnes.

Goran Dragic
03-23-2012, 09:08 PM
They're lucky they got to play a fluke team that was lucky to make the sweet 16 as oppose to a 4 or 5 seed most 1 seeds face at this point.

Louisville just looks like a championship team. If not for Kentucky I'd pick them easily to win it all. they always play ugly games and are able to control the tempo with Siva which is always a recipe for success in the Tournament

The white boy PG for UNC is awful. The Marshall injury supremely fucked them.

Goran Dragic
03-25-2012, 06:06 PM
Well I wouldn't have picked UNC if I knew Roy Williams did this piss poor a job making the offense not so dependent on one player. The two other point guards on the roster looked like they didn't have a fucking clue what to do other than dribble air out of the ball.

And UNC lost both their PG this season. White was supposed to be 3rd string scrub pg.
