Roy just simply has to stay on their asses. Their problem is they are good, and they know it. Too much bullsh*t from them at times. If he keeps them focused, they can play with any team in the country. But, that is a big if....

Texas has the best player and you know what can happen if he gets hot and the supporting cast fills the roles...

ala carmelo Anthony

My final four right now

Oregon, Kansas, Georgetown, A&M

Kansas/Georgetown

Kansas

(Kansas is exactly like NC in regards to what Kev said, they have a year experience, and will take it 1000% seriously after getting bounced last year in the first round)

I can't understand how Duke is a 6th seed, they are not deserving, every year they get preferential treatment.

I was dissapointed in Bilas cracking Xavier, as much as I hate to admit it, they are a dangerous team, they weren't helped with the seeding.

I am sticking with Georgetown and would like to see Louisville well.

I can't wait until my beloved Bearcats get back to where they belong, because I don't have much interest in this Tournament without them, and you want to talk about a hose job they got it last year...

Yeah, that was another seeding that totally baffled me. Poll every team in the tourney and ask them if they'd rather play Texas or Washington St and see how it turns out. Yet somehow Texas got the 4 seed while Wash St got the 3. It isn't like it was an RPI thing since Texas was 25 and Washington St was 26.

Throw it out the window in a single elimination tourney. Everybody is 0-0. Texas coach Barnes may be one of the worst in game coaches I have ever seen. He seemingly has no clue what is going on. His teams make a lot of mental mistakes. But they have a really good point guard and the best player outside of the NBA which can be a lethal combination.

I hear what you are saying Chuck, but some of that has to be taken into consideration. Does it not mean that your team has shown the propensity (look it up Scavs) to get the job done against opponents more closely matched talent wise?

I understand what you are saying and in normal circumstances I would agree but Durant is a giant x factor. There will be no one on the floor that is close to him talentwise. But Barnes is so bad ....

Either way, I hope they meet, because if they do...loser buys the winner a few cold ones during opening week this summer.
