oklahoma st. 2005 national champs!

[johnnyb.]

i know they lost today but this team is really impressive. they have all the components to win a championship. you punch them, they'll punch you back harder.
i'll take them over illinois, uconn, no. carolina, zona and duke. give me points and i'd be all over it.

anyone know their odds to win it all?

damn!
always respected your skills, that puts you right up there now... great call! :clap:

i really like this group, and their effort. really feel last year's team was better though. i think oky st is weak inside, and it will hurt them in the tourney. i will watch this team for their entire run because they play hard, and i like their style.

only thing that worries me with Okie St is Joey Graham and Mcfarlin tend to get into foul trouble early...they always seem to pick up silly fouls then wind up having to sit or play with 3 fouls in 1st half...but they used to it..

i HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A SLEEPER AND OSU CROSSED MY MIND BUT i ALSO THINK THEY ARE JUST A LITTLE WEAK INSIDE......I FEEL LIKE THEIR BIG GUYS ARE MORE LIKE FORWARDS AND NOT THE BULKY TYPE. i THINK THEY WERE BETTER LAST YEAR WITH TONY ALLEN IN THE FOLD........AND THEY REALLY HAVE NOT STEPPED UP BIG ON THE ROAD......LOSSES TO OU,TEXAS, GONZAGA ALL BEATABLE TEAMS....

If you are looking for a sleeper, why not Kansas, BC and/or Kentucky. A sleeper should have more than 10-1 odds IMO.

I have seen many so called "analysts" have one or more of those 3 teams ranked in their top 5.

Just from looking at Pinnacle, you can get

Kansas at 14.5 -1 odds. That would be my fav. "sleeper."

Boston College is 22.8-1 odds. That is big odds for a team who some "analysts" rank in their top 5.

Kentucky is 20.6-1 odds and that is big odds for a team who some "analysts" have as their top 5.

All 3 are good solid teams who have a "chance" to win it all and all 3 have huge prices. You said you were interested in "sleeper" teams. I think a sleeper team has to have big odds. All 3 fit the criteria nicely. Especially Kansas because they should be below 10-1 odds.

If you are going to take one team and want big odds, my suggestion is Kansas.

 

[maverick2112]

Scott.....some pretty good teams at decent prices...........a team that is kind of catching my eye is Washington at 35 to 40 to 1 at different places.......pretty good prices for a potential 2 seed..I think if they sweep cal and stanford this week they will get a #2 seed.....I dont think they may have enough big guys inside but they have a great PG in Nate robinson and some sweet three point shooters plus they have some good experience from last year........4 out of 5 starters back for last yrs team........but they are kind of limited on the defensive end but you can count on them to score 90 on most nights.......

Kansas would be like throwing away cash

dont know if anyone is any deeper than the UW, they have beaten utah/ou/bama/zona... Nates had a vey ordinary year (for him) b/c the firepower on team is just too great; i will whiff on my +650 MVP in pac-10 grrr, but still clinging to pac-10 champs +250 -- blowing the bruin game and wsu not getting zona in pullman kills ... I really like this UW team as spectator but them winning 6 games would be as likely as my cheap brother Jeff picking up a check

kentucky is a joke...they wont make it past the sweet sixteen...most overrated team in the country IMO..

 

[signalcaller]

Villanova has a very nice chance i think. Watched this team about 8 times this year. Bodog has them at 50-1 still. I think thats a frickin steal. Put $100 on it.

If Nardi is healthy by tourney time, I think they have a good chance at the Final Four. Don't think they can win six straight games though.

BC has ZERO chance of winning the championship. Nova, Syracuse, and UConn should all advance further or as far as BC does.
