Vandy beat Kentucky today. They must match-up right for them.

I said Marquette was the best team I've seen...but I also watched them play Louisville and the pressure D by Louisville made Marquette turn the ball over like crazy and they rushed up a lot of high percentage shots that didn't go.

It's weird because Marquette isn't a very big team and you think they'd handle a press D...but they couldn't.

I LOVE Marquette against any team that lets them control the pace when they have the ball on offense. They fucl<ed up over and over against pressure.

I love the way Marquette plays defense. They are relentless.

Detroit Titans are the small school that impressed me most. They freaking wiped the floor with Valpo in Valpo ... and Valpo was 3-0 against Butler this year.

Butler sucked this season. Detroit is going to get blown off the court by Kansas.

I really like Montana over Wisconsin. I follow Big Sky basketball probably way too close but I live out here and go to lots of games locally. Montana is one of the best Big Sky teams I've seen in awhile. Main issue is no depth at all. Pretty much go with 5 guys, but play really good defense, and can really, really shoot the 3. 4 of 5 starters over 43 percent and worst is at 37 percent, Will Cherry, who is by far the best player and a really good point guard. Destroyed Weber State last two times and their great future NBA guard Damian Lillard. HIstorically Big Sky not likely to win a game. Montana won a first rounder over Nevada a few years ago and WEber in the late 90s beat Georgetown so historically a pretty lame first round pick, but I think this team is different.

I was hoping for a stopped clock is right twice a day theory here!!! Didn't quite work out that way. Oh well, 1st round can be deceiving but bg 10 did look pretty good yesterday.

Montana's a good program, they just ran into a buzzsaw. The Wisconsin/Vanderbilt winner will be in the Final Four IMO.

How come people keep referring to number 2 or 3 seeds as sleepers?

They're tired?

Those are the same people who like to give out tips on 7/5 shots.

They just outscored Valpo by 25 points in the 2nd half in Valpo to take a championship game.

I've only seen both Detroit and Kansas play once ... but Detroit might have a better back-court. If they don't get killed inside by the ChokeHawks, they'll certainly keep the margin single digits.

The Horizon sucked this year. That's the bottom line. Tyshawn Taylor is better than any guard Detroit has and they have nobody to guard Robinson or Withey.

Ok. Why is Belmont only getting 3.5 against Georgetown?

Because they're really good, underseeded and far more Tournament tested than Georgetown. I'm not dashing to take only 3.5 points with them, but it wouldn't be a major upset (in my eyes) if they win.
