This May be Tasteless


...but bring on the tournament! Obviously, thoughts are elsewhere but I am looking forward to the diversion and plan on switching back and forth to keep abreast of developments in Iraq.


So, what are your guys thoughts on the ASU game? Looks like Memphis is a tough team and some have picked them into the Sweet 16 (thus meaning they beat Kansas).

Rob Evans' nightmare in Oklahoma City continues - remember, this is the same arena where Bryce Drew's miracle shot beat Evans' Ole Miss team a few years back.

This is going to be a dogfight of a game for the Devils. They must play a full 40 minutes...severely limit the turnovers...and they must shoot well. I know I am not shedding any new light on this but they must play sound fundamental basketball in order to win.

Memphis is beatable for the Devils. I am hopeful (and rooting for ASU) but I think Memphis is going to be too much.

I picked ASU, but i think Memphis can shut down Ike Diago and the Devils will be done for.

I have Memphis winning. They are experienced. ASU will be better next year, and might make a move. But not this year.

What team has shut down Diogu this year? He's scored in double digits in every game this season.

I realize that this game has already been played, but does anyone think that Diogu can be held to single digits by any team in this tournament??? If UA(#1 team most of the season) can't even slow down Diogu(in either meeting), then why would any other team be able to do that?

Well not neccessarily shut down Diago, but teams must neutralize him to win. Memphis didn't do that.

Nobody has neutralized Diogu either IMO...The way to beat the Devils is very simple. Completely colapse the defense around Diogu(he'll still put up 15-20 points), yet force the Devils to drain the 3. Memphis was too proud to play much zone against ASU and it cost them. I hope Kansas is also too proud to play zone against the Devils...

Furthermore, way to go Pac 10!!! 4-0 right now! What's new though? Same old domination from the conference with the most NCAA basketball titles, yet the least respect from the nation...

Damn! Don't most of your feel like ****! Don't worry I picked Memphis too, but I would trade my bracket score in for ASU making some noise in the tourney
