South Bracket Discussion

[OregonBuckeye]

I would rank the remaining sixteen as follows:

1 Florida
2 North Carolina
3 TOSU
4 Kansas
5 UCLA
6 Georgetown
7 Memphis
8 Texas A&M
9 Oregon
10 Pitt
11 SIU
12 Tennessee
13 Butler
14 Vanderbilt
15 USC
16 UNLV

Pretty good. The only thing I really disagree with is USC at 15. They just throttled Texas and Arkansas. They're top 8-10, IMO.

Tigers' top scorer took part in private practice
SAN ANTONIO -- Memphis scoring leader Chris Douglas-Roberts, who sprained his left ankle last Sunday, took part in a private practice Wednesday.

He's doing fine. He wants to play. If he's capable of playing, he'll play," coach John Calipari said. "You can ask me 1,000 different ways, but that's the best I can tell you. If he's able to, he will. If he's not able to play, he won't."

I wonder if this kid can be any good at ,say, 80% if he plays at that %. I'm sure he wants to play but he may not help the team that much.
This Bracket has what should be two very good games. A&M has a better chance of beating Mem if Roberts isn't 100%. The bad news is I picked Mem to win in my pools. Oh well.
After tOSU beats Tenn either one of these teams will make for an outstanding game for the Bucks to play

By STEPHEN HAWKINS
AP Sports Writer

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Some Texas A&M students wore paper bags over their heads during Acie Law's freshman season, embarrassed to be rooting for a team that didn't win a conference game. Now, Aggies fans are decked out in maroon shirts, eager to be part of what Law and his teammates are doing.

For Memphis (32-3), the No. 2 seed in the NCAA South Regional, that means once again playing in front of a partisan crowd despite have a better seed.

While this could very well be true, with all the great guards, IMO it is going to come down to the inside guys to really determine the games due to good guards cancelling each other out...

With that said we have Oden, Xavier has Doleman and Duncan, BYU has some good big men, Tennessee has some young big guys, Louisville has about 4 guys they can throw out there with Palacios, Padgett, Character, Stanford has the Lopez twins, A&M has Jones and Kavalaskis, Creighton has Tolliver, Nevada has Fazekas, and Memphis has Dorsey...

I'm pretty sure it turned out to be true
