College Hoops

Do you follow it and who do you think will make the final 4. Besides the Gators of course. lol Very tight this year as was the Football.

It's always about matchups in the tourney, so there's no science to predicting that without brackets. However, when it all shakes out I think the best teams are:

1. Michigan State - There are no weaknesses and have great athleticism and a coach who has won it all.
2. Indiana - Life long fan here, but I gotta give the edge to Spartans. IU is one year away from total dominance.
3. Duke - They have the pedigree and smarts to beat anyone at any time.
4. Florida - Well-balanced team, but will have to learn how to rebound if they want to get beyond the sweet 16
5. Louisville - Tough-minded team that needs some better shooting
6. Kansas - Good team, very good coach, always tough
7. Miami - Not totally sold on them, to streaky, lost to some bad teams and played top ten teams well.
8. Michigan - Can turn it on and win the whole thing, but has stretches in games where they look lost
9. Gonzaga - Great team chemistry, 1-3 against top twenty teams, could go on a run, good offense
10. Butler - Not the best stats, but coach Stephens masterfully matches up against the best. Could be another final 4

Miami's on a roll...but they've gotten really lucky...

By the way Miami's early losses were cause 2 players were out, since they've been healthy they haven't lost..

Indiana just showed MSU what it's about on MSU's home court.

Diehard Duke fan. Even before i moved to North Carolina. Duke with Ryan Kelly were the best team in the country, and they proved it early in the season. If he comes back by the tournament, Duke can cut the nets down. There are some good schools though. They have the rematch with Miami March 2nd at Duke.

I missed the game, but am happy with the outcome. I really thought they were going to lose. Maybe this really is their year. After so many down and out seasons recently, it's unusual to see my Hoosiers in this position. It's nice, but uneasy if that makes sense.

Miami lucks out again

#4 and #5 went down

Florida game was hard to watch. I knew Mizzou was 14-0 at home, but man the Gators had like a 15 point lead in the second half. they looked wore out.

Can't go wrong with Indiana. Ohio State isn't having a great year, but I still love the Buckeyes.

I totally agree. It's great that IU is in the mix again. College basketball is better when the Hoosiers are relevent. Victor Oladipo is so vastly improved in his game, he is getting player of the year talk now, over Zeller who was the big name at the beginning of the year, but to me has periods in the game where he disappears. Tourney will be wide open though. There isn't a clear cut leader like last year. Fun to watch.

How about today's LSU vs. Alabama game. LSU pulls it out in 3 OT.

There goes Miami's streak lol...poor *******s

Zemo, I hope the Gators are tired and worn out and cold tonight, too, but I bet they won't be.
