this is where all the youth catches upto the cuse- okys d is stifling and price will contol the tempo of this game- oky knows how to rattle and get inside teams heads-especially i young team like this one. athletic wise these teams are even but leadership and defense there really is no comparison. i think price nahara and defense wins by 8 69-61

Was that a Eduardo Najera I heard in there? C'mon Thunder he is with the Mavericks right now:)

I have to respectfully disagree with you on your reasoning. I think the youth factor is more of an actual factor in the beginning of the tourney. Now that these guys are this far.....I dont think that they will get jitters or be overly nervous. Especially a guy like Carmelo Anthony. If you are that good....you just play ball and thats it. Now McNamera is also young....but he has beaten great point guards before......Chris Thomas, Brandin Knight, Troy Bell/Ryan Sidney, etc....

The Cuse can handle the pressure. They have a coach that has done this before, and the Cuse has some experience with Duany and Warrick, so they should be OK.

Thanks Thunder. I know i am new, but for those that disagree, which is fine, would it not be a lot more kind, to do so under your own thread. Just make your picks and give reasons for your pick under your thread. That way for those interested theycan view your thread. This is meant to be only a kind suggestion to those who do not agree with the plays listed in this thread.

Please there is no reason to reply to what i have said. it is merely a suggestion and nothing more. it should not be taken in any negative manner whatsoever.

meant ebe - tease maybe we are capping a different sport- the last time a team this young made it to the finals let alone the final four was the fab five. syracuse is very talented and athletic. but they have shown signs of there youth all year. they have a very hard time finishing games. youth showed up the last game- auburn should have been blow-out but the cuse got frazzled because auburns seniors got in there heads. oky punishes teams-physically and mentally they really demoralize teams. this will be a close game until the last 10-12 minutes and i think the cuse will get knocked down and will not recover. ask any coach if he thinks experience matters and how much. you are a funny guy and very opinionated, which is great. but the way you cap and i cap are very different- i cap the teams,progect a score then look at the line- line movement plays very little on my play- or what joe public is on. gl to you THAT BEING SAID CRAPPY DAY YESTERDAY- -15% 14k for me +9% for week really thought that game was going over yesterday.

The OVER was intact all the way 'til the poor decision by the Arizona coaching staff. I would have played the fouling game.

What if Kansas scored in their last possession? Arizona would be down by 5! But as it turned out, Arizona stopped Kansas, regained possession...BUT still had to make a 3-pointer just to tie.

Poor coaching in my opinion. OVER was the correct call.

Thunder...I am not responding to this only cuz I won, BUT. In response to your quote about how Syracuse is too young....This team is special just like the Fab 5. That is my reasoning, along with the fact that this was a home game for Syracuse. Texas is gonna have the same nice home cooking.....
