I love the Committee's sense of humor. Vermont-Syracuse in round one. Good stuff.

I don't either. Their upper bracket is relatively weak, they get a couple of fading teams in the 2nd round, a decent but not brutal Temple or Wisconsin team in the Sweet 16. Both of those teams could give them problems with their style but athletically UK is 10x better. Their only tough game in that region is West Virginia (whom I think beats UK.)

Yep exactly how I see it.

Obviously I liked the CAA to do well in postseason play tonight, and of course Northeastern is struggling and VCU and George Mason are blowing their opponents out :rolleyes:

Good to see Obama has his priorities in order.

I know you were asking Joe but don't you think it odd that the spread on that is only 1.5? With the way the pac 10 has been totally dismissed, shouldnt that be like a 4 point line?

I don't know what the hell to think about the Pac 10 anymore to be honest. All season, I maintained that the conference was garbage and shouldn't get multiple bids, but watching Cal towards the end of the season, I came away impressed. I think Cal beats Louisville tomorrow, so I can't play against Washington with the confidence I'd like to. I still think Marquette wins, and it's amazing what Buzz has done with that team despite losing the big three from last season.

How much of an impact do you think suspending Amoke will have on Cal's chances?

It hurts them on the glass since he was their best rebounder, but I don't think it's too big of a deal with Boykin playing the way he is.

BYU -5 110/100
ODU +2.5 110/100
Richmond -2 220/200

randallscott35 03-18-2010 10:24 AM

Too many people like Richmond, tells me to go the other way.
