Wow, Did Ohio State get shafted!
- Thread starter Mags
- Start date
good stuff Marra....dont you have an Arizona Wildcat football game to pump up for a week and then come in at half and say you didnt bet it after they were losing their ass.....thats not bad for a selective memory eh?
if those games didnt matter they wouldnt play them. every game matters to be selected into the ncaa tourney. especially those games.
weak schedule? memphis has played nobody and the three teams they did play ten, ari, gtech, they lost too. memphis will have a hard time advancing to the sweet 16 and thats as far as they will get.
cmon mags, I dont agree with you about OSU getting shafted, I mean they got the easiest or 2nd easiest road from the looks of it out of all the #1 seeds. Also to call KU a joke because they lost to oral roberts? Yeah Wisconsin lost to Indiana. And you aren't a good team because you can win games at home, that would make every team in the big10 a good team. Last time I checked Wisconsin doesn't have any home games in the tourney( though they couldnt get much closer)
I have to agree Big10 is overated. Lets see Wisky come back from 20 down when Durant is hitting 3's from beyond NBA range. Big12 teams score more in a half than many Big10 can muster in a whole game. Even though I really think Wisky should be exposed early I have them going to elite 8 just because they have the easiest 2 seed in the brackets.
Good post though, got alot of people talking
Here comes the Big Ten bashers again:mj07:
Not sure what your trying to say here Old School?:shrug:
I watched every game at the Big Ten Tourney. And I can tell you that Ohio State will be in the Final Four, and will probably win the whole stinkin thing, although I will root against them. They are too athletic, and too disciplined defensively to allow a team like Kansas, NC, or Florida to beat them, and I cant think of who else would?
As for the other Big Ten schools, watch out for Purdue, they have jelled and will easily beat Butler, and give Florida all they can handle. Indy seems to have lost something, and have too difficult of a draw to get to the next weekend. Illinois ran out of gas this past weekend, but I think they will make a statement in the tourney. Michigan State will dismantle Marquette, and I will take them as the dog vs NC. :SIB
Wisconsin. Easily the most underated team in the tournament, and I will ride them:director:

Totally agree

Over the course of time B10 teams generally to better than anticipated at tourney time. Wisky especially. That said, I don't see it happening this year. OSU has the talent but not the experience, and vice versa for Wisky. Sparty has minimal talent by their standards, as does Illinois. Both are horrific offensively. Purdue is a classic overachiever but they don't have the horses to run with Arizona, much less Florida. That leaves Indiana who can play with anyone if they get hot from long distance, but they have the toughest draw of any of the 7's.
In summary, IMO the B11 will be lucky to get 2 to the round of 16.

Franky You have got to be kidding me, too athletic and too disciplined to let a team like KU, NC or Florida beat them? Given it was earlier in the year but 2 of the 3 already HAVE beaten them. Yes it was without Oden or with him limited with injury and on the road, but losing by almost 30 to florida! There is NO excuse for that. Only other team left is KU which is easily the most athletic of the 3 and is just as athletic as OSU and if they play each other(lord I pray that they do) KU will get the ball down the court faster than Oden can trot more often than not.
I geuss it just depends upon how you see the ocnferences. You think OSU/Wisky are really good so teams that gave them trouble like MSU/Purdue/Illini etc. you view as being almost as good. Where I view tem as being overated so teams that gave them trouble are viewed as even worse than OSU/Wisky.
I will definitely root for Wisconsin though, I like alot of their players and Bob Ryan is a class act.

I bet on my grandfathers grave I didnt have one dime on that game - I did my analysis, posted, waited for the line - Looked into the game further (including Dr. Bob) and then didnt bet. WTF do I care if I would have lost that game, I dont post my record or charge for my analysis - If you are one of the morons that doesnt do their own work and just coattail, then I feel for you.
Why didnt you bring up my dead on analysis about the Ohio State/Florida game?
I think Ohio St has the easy trip to the final four. I am not sure they will make it, but it is an easy braket. I only see 2 teams that can hurt them and they are going to play each other. The Tex A&m louisville winner will give them a good game in the South. May even beat them. Odom is a shot changer. Big time. There is No middle if he stays out of foul trouble. He will own the middle.
Thats fine blg, we agree to disagree then...
Having seen the big APE(think King Kong), as we Wisky fans like to call him, a number of times now, there is no better shot blocker, changer, eliminator, whatever you want to call him in the College Basketball game:scared
I watched him play left handed when Wisconsin beat Ohio State, and now the way the refs let him walk, push, jump over the back of all players around him, makes it a sin:nono:
Othela Hunter(?sp) looks like his twin, and almost plays like him, at least on defense. There is a reason that Butler and Lewis have reduced minutes from last year, called Conley J.R. and Daquen Cook:com: Conley, think Koby Bryant, is the best slasher/playmaker I have seen in 10 years, and yes, he is a freshman:shrug: CRAP! Harris, well, that cant find enough minutes for him, but he is almost as good as any of the smaller guys.
Wisconsin has a great defense, but Ohio State's is better:sadwave:
GL to the other teams, they are gonna need it:142smilie
Respectfully,

Oh, and its Bo Ryan:SIB , but no big deal........

Two weeks ago I said that Ohio St and Wisc would be lucky to get past the second game. Only the draws have made me change that. Wisc will be lucky to be playing a third game and if Tenn beats LBS which I'm not sure they can, they will put OS out in the third game. There's only three teams this year I feel confortable about getting to the sweet sixteen. That would be Fla, NC, and Gtown. I look for some major upsets right from the get-go. Of course, what the heck to I know?
