Michigan St. and Marquette is going to be a great first round matchup...

Arkansas IMO is the last team and gets a first round matchup with USC...

Don't think Texas will have much trouble with New Mexico St.

I like George Washington over Vandy...

Wazzou gets a very tough first roudn game with ORU and Caleb Green...

BC and TTech will be a grind it out tough game...

Overall I think I like GTwon out of this bracket...

 

[heisman]

I would not want UNC's road for all the tea in China! :)

 

[RhodeIslandBuck]

I'm pickin' G-Town here.

 

[Golferdow01]

This bracket sucks...I pick GTown as well, but what a rough bracket...

 

[DaytonBuck]

I could see Marquette taking down UNC

I could see either Marquette or Michigan St. taking down UNC.

 

[DaytonBuck]

UNC the times I watched them down the stretch didn't look very impressive. I'd be surprised if they made it out of this bracket.

I concur. I don't even see them getting elite 8.

Hansbourough has admitted that he can't play his best with that mask on. I think Marquette v MSU will be a fun one to watch. I need some info on Wash ST and Vandy. Any opinions? Also, Texas has rallied into the post season, but I don't know if KD can do it all by himself.

Vandy has a really good team, but I like Washington St. Texas has a good team, and Durant is not their only playmaker. Augustin and Abrams are also great players. But they have shown weakness this year too. Def. a talented team that no one wants to play.

 

[fourteenandoh]

That part of the bracket is a total crapshoot IMO. Is there anything like size matchups that will play a key?

With which games?

 

[fourteenandoh]

wash st/vandy mainly because I think GTown beats either one

Washington St. plays two centers (like we do with Oden and Hunter), both of which are 6'10, but should have the height advantage inside. Vandy usually plays with 4 G-F and only one forward who is 6'9. They have a 6'11 center who plays around fifteen minutes a game. The Commodores are a good shooting team and will need to shoot around 50% from the field to win IMO.
