The NCAA Tournament thread

First, a sixth seed? Most people had us at a 4, which I figured meant we might get a 5. We drop to six and get Temple and Syracuse? Sendek better be ready to coach these kids up. A short bench is going to be seriously challenged.

I am trying to keep myself from filling out a bracket. I just hope to have time to watch a few games.

I thought we'd be a 5 seed. The Pac 10 wasn't very highly thought of (even though 6 teams got in), so I wasn't expecting us to get a 4. A 6 doesn't surprise me.

Be thankful you didn't get UCLA's draw.

what a crappy draw. We should beat temple, but then my worst nightmare came true. Syracuse is going to destory ASU.

gimme ten points. If ASU wins, plus ten, I get to pick your avatar for a month. If Cuse wins minus ten, you get to pick mine. Or, if I lose, you get 1 millions ASFN.

Syracuse is a matchup nightmare for ASU.

- Flynn can penetrate the zone and 'Cuse has shooters once the defense reacts
- Syracuse has a gimme in round 1 unlike ASU
- Syracuse plays against a defense similar to ASU's every day in practice
- Syracuse is much more athletic

That being said, ASU will have the best player on the court so they do have a puncher's chance.

Def not a good draw for ASU or UCLA. If Christmas is hitting ASU is going to have some problems. If he isnt ASU will blow them out.

Certainly not thrilled at all with Cuse in the 2nd round. Having said that, the Orange can be a Jekyll and Hyde team, so hopefully we have bad Syracuse that night.

deal. avatars.

Temple is going to be tougher than most people are expecting, but I do expect ASU to win. as far as the Cuse go...I think this is a great matchup for both teams.

Mulli, you should give me $1 million to have your back. I'll be your enforcer in case Syracuse defaults on the bet.
