tlong, is your foot always in your mouth?
The same Pac 10 whose Trojans are getting slapped around by the running Beasley's out of the Big Xll?
The Big Xll has the best team in the nation (Kansas) and one of the top 5 in the nation (Texas). Down a little further is the team spanking the Trojans.
PAC 10 is all UCLA.

Stanford will be in the Final Four as will UCLA.
you're ridiculous. uchla, stanford, wazzou, and usc were all very good teams this year. i expect stanford to beat t.u..
I had a perfect bracket till Wisconsin won. Bad choice. What was I thinking ?
yeah, i'm not buying that.
in over 2 million entries at ESPN, nobody had less than 2 misses in the first round.
if ut beats miami, we will probably lose to stanford, i admit. I don't think UT has the manpower, experience, and ability to counter a frontcourt with two seven footers that aren't stiffs, are good rebounding and scoring threats, and good defenders. We haven't seen anything like that all season, and it will shut us down, completely. Hopefully I am wrong.
Btw, go Aggies...
I think Texas's guards will dominate Stanford's guards and Atchley/Pittman will hold their own. It all comes down to Abrams and Augustine shooting. If UT shoots consistently and their defense is active they will out gun Stanford without much of a problem. That's what it comes down to because Texas on all cylinders beats Stanford on all cylinders.
I dunno brah, those lopez brothers are pretty mobile.
A&M is having trouble passing the ball inside, even when the backups are guarding Jones.
A&M doesn't have the firepower to match UCLA, but they are a bunch of tough and physical dudes and were able to muck it up enough in the 1st half to take a 3 pt lead. Can they do it for another 20?
I wasn't impressed with Stanford's backcourt play in their first two games. The Lopez twins are impressive, but if Texas is able to run on them and if guys like Abrams is lighting it up from three I don't think Stanford has the firepower to keep up. The only team I've seen that can really go toe to toe and beat a Texas team who is firing on all cylinders is Kansas. Kansas are some bad mofos.
That said, if Texas gets cold from outside they could lose easily. That also goes for tomorrow against Miami. Texas has the talent and can pretty much beat anyone handily if they're knocking out shots.
I was pretty surprised to see the refs calling it both ways so far.
UCLA will tighten up their interior D ... TAMU's not hitting squat from the outside and if that doesn't change it will spell defeat for the Ags.
Really ? Every year they have a few with perfect brackets.
yeah, that's not correct.
the odds of a perfect bracket are 1 in 7.2 trillion.
nobody has EVER gotten a perfect bracket in ESPN's challenge.
The best in ESPN this year after the first round is 30-2, and only 51 people have that.
UCLA is going to send me to an early grave with all these games! Good lord, anyone have a damn valium?
Yeah I see that. Winning it all would be pretty bizarre. I know they've had quite a few people perfect out of 1st rounds before. I've never played them, just do it for fun, mainly between family. My luck this year is the upsets were either teams I had a reason to pick, ( family members that are alumnus like ...Siena..my nephews wife, or they were playing against teams I despise. WVA was my underdog pick not derived from any particular hatred. The thing we do, and this is not how other people do brackets...but in the fam we don't fill out the next round till after the previous round is played and then we score the rounds. We could never agree on how to score it so we ended up doing that. It's kinda fun that way so, yeah, start with a pefect round each time. Pure luck, I assure you.
Every year somebody will say that they saw a perfect bracket at ESPN, but that person just saw a person's name with a 100% by it, not realizing that the number meant that person finished in the 100th percentile, not 100% correct.
Two years ago I actually had a perfect bracket after the first round on ESPN (was sitting in a 25 way tie for first place). Of course then I missed four S16 picks and plummeted....
I still finished that year in the top 10000 overall, which was pretty good I thought...
i finished in the top 5000 one year, thanks to be one of just a handful of people that picked Syracuse to win it all.
texas is overrated
they will get rolled in the sweet sixteen
Texas rolled Miami and went to sleep trying to milk the clock with a 15 pt lead with 6 min left. McClinton had 6 points when it mattered and only got going when Texas stopped playing. Texas is elite and Miami was dominated.
butler loses.
but damn, what a ride it has been. great season butler.
Butler and Gtown go down
Stephen Curry of Davidson is the REAL DEAL!
