No to St. John's. Not nearly as good away from home.
Morehead State or Richmond makes Sweet 16
UCLA makes Elite 8
Washington over North Carolina in Round of 32.
Gonzaga doesn't play Florida in Round of 32, UCLA (assuming win) does.
oops i meant the semis. ill correct that.
Gonzaga won't make it out of the 1st tbh.
Belmont to sweet 16.
I'm amending mine. If I'm going out on a ledge, Arizona beats Duke.
Arizona/Texas is going to be a great one... assuming both those teams advance of course.![]()
Hopefully it'll be like 2009 when Arizona plays a ty team to advance to the sweet 16 when Cleveland St. beat Wake Forest (I'm looking at you, Oakland). Memphis on the other hand won't be an easy win for AZ. 2 outa the last 3 years in the sweet 16 with a rebuilding team will be a great pitch to recruits.
I have only one crazy prediction: This year it's going to be more crazy and unpredictable than ever. No one will have a bunch of accurate predictions, but there will be way crazier things that no one saw coming.
No. Duke would destroy them.
No ing kidding...
Fact is, once I get my Elite 8, I have no faith in any team to get it done. I don't trust Pitt (tradition of underachieving), Kansas (last year jitters) or Ohio State (lack of scoring wing, reliance on freshman) for various reasons. I think Syracuse is a bit overrated, I think UConn will break down from wear and isn't as good as their recent run indicates. I don't expect North Carolina or Florida to make much noise. Kentucky is too young, BYU is too thin, Wisconsin too gimmicky, Louisville always seems to choke around the Sweet 16/Elite 8, and Texas has been bi-polar of late.
For some reason, I like Notre Dame a lot, but like Purdue even more, and I really want to like San Diego State, but their losses to BYU scare me.
I've changed my Final 4 and Championship teams/winner at least six times today alone. If I had to pick, I'd go San Diego State losing to Kansas in the le, but I have zero trust in any of my Elite 8 teams. Disgusting.
6 Degrees of Justification
Duke loses to St. John's.
St. John's loses to UCLA.
UCLA loses to Arizona.
Hahaha...
If I here Kyrie Irving is returning, I'll probably, disgustingly, pick Duke. Not sure if I can bring myself to that.
Texas can still do damage regardless of the late season collapse. They'll get their shot at Duke and they could definitely win.
Barnes is a choke artist, dude. It's been since TJ Ford in 2004 that he had a team meet expectations and ability in the tournament, IMO. If Self can shed the label, I supposed Barnes can too, but Texas lost on the road to a then mediocre USC team just as they most recently dropped two games to non-Tourney teams Colorado and Nebraska. Too violently inconsistent.
Is an Irving return really possible at this point? I didn't realize he was still an option to come back.
I doubt it.
tbh, them beating a lot of good teams shows me that they have the potential to make a cinderella type run if the planets align
Neat prediction UTSAfan.
What does everyone think of Kentucky? I actually see them as a possible sleeper team that's extremely talented and is playing with very little pressure.
