CaneBrain 95 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yea, I know you post in the UNC thread, so I was just busting yours I actually don't understand why the SEC is so horrid at basketball.because every basketball recruit gets told its a football conference (or that the individual school is a football school). It makes a difference. Link to post Share on other sites

CaneBrain 95 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yea, but Florida just won two national championships in basketball recently, you would think that might help out.just saying in the overall. This is definitely a bad year for SEC basketball compared to regular standards. Other than Kentucky, the SEC is full of football schools and that can dampen recruiting.What UF did was pretty amazing.

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 What UF did was pretty amazing.and like i told florida fans then, enjoy it, because you will never, ever, come even close to being that good again. ever. Link to post Share on other sites

USMARINE1 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Looking forward to the big conference tournaments this week and seeing whose bubbles are bursting.Big East and ACC tournaments should be really good, I'm watching Wake Forest and Marquette closely because they have final four talent but I'm not sure if they can get there now for different reasons. These tournaments should be good indicators of how they will preform under pressure. I'm also hoping for a Kansas/Oklahoma matchup in the Big-12.I think Michigan can lock up a tournament spot with a win over Iowa in the opening round of the Big-10 tournament.all i got to say is how about michigan state 8th appearance in the last 12 years they r due, don't worry i know they are underdogs Link to post Share on other sites

CaneBrain 95 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 all three big east teams win. if they get 5 in the elite eight, can we say they are the best conference? :)ACC suffers further disgrace.....no way around the fact that the ACC was overrated (though, still, UNC is clearly fine and a true contender).Mizzou is fun to watch.

Jadaki 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 all three big east teams win.Pitt looks weak, Villinova looks like a beast right now. They destroyed UCLA and Duke, and if they play close to that I think they run over Pitt too. They are playing great. Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, I think Nova matched up just right with Duke....whereas they might struggle with Pitt's overly physical style. Plus, I think people are taking Pitt's close wins too seriously. Thats just their way....they dont blow people out. They grind and they win.Should be a great game. Link to post Share on other sites
Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I love this Travis Walton fellow. Can someone fill me in as to what kind of an outside shooter he is? I've never seen him play before.Edit: He only took (5) 3's all year so I'm guessing he can't shoot. I hope it's not Eric Snow v2. Link to post Share on other sites

Jadaki 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Wow wow wow Michigan St with the upset.It's not that big of an upset, were talking about teams that before the tournament started were ranked 5th and 6th in the country respectively. Never underestimate an Izzo coached team. Link to post Share on other sites

Never underestimate an Izzo coached team.I dont think a 2 beating a 1 can ever be considered an upset.Louisville had a SUPER easy run to the elite eight (they beat a 16, a 8, and a 12 I believe) and seemed un-prepared for MSU.

Though Siena gave them a good game in the round of 32, that team may have been lowballed on seeding. Link to post Share on other sites

Never underestimate an Izzo coached team.No, not a big upset, but still an upset. They beat the overall number 1 seed and were about a 7 point dog. The public is heavy on UConn so far, so I might be looking to book them at +4.I dont think a 2 beating a 1 can ever be considered an upset.Louisville had a SUPER easy run to the elite eight (they beat a 16, a 8, and a 12 I believe) and seemed un-prepared for MSU.Really depends on the teams playing each other. If Oklahoma had beat UNC, I'd consider that an upset too. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm really surprised that Memphis' coach just took the job at Kentucky. Really surprised. Link to post Share on other sites
