It's almost here. Selection Sunday is only a few days away. Anyone looking forward to this?

Can hardly wait to set up my brackets! This year is going to be good. if Mt. St. Mary's makes it, I'll probably have them as my cinderella.

Go Pitt! I say they should be awesome in the tourney, since their losses were to:
Villanova, in the last game in their stadium
Louisville, a good team by 6
Providence, just crushed by pressure. I blame the refs! :) .
I've always done good with my brackets until Texas loses in the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight. :evil:

DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, Miami FL and Boston College are other teams i like.
i hate oklahoma though.
they're only winning because of griffin, and he gets all the freaking attention.
can't stand unc either (not just cuz i'm a duke fan either)
they get all the attention (that isn't on griffin) and they kinda remind me of the yankees (w/o the salary and steinbrenner and a-roid).
duke is the bosox, btw.

Can't wait to set up my brackets! This has got to be my favorite time of year, with Spring Training starting and March Madness. GO PITT!

Selection is in a few weeks, not days I think.


Pitt upsets UConn again. I can't wait to see who the cinderella will be ohhhhhh. I hope it'll be Mt. St. Marys


And Sorry. but Duke never does well in the tournament....

I'm going with apple and pitt this year, dang it Steve Duke and UNC gets picked every-year. I think we should ask our moms and girlfriends on how would win. It's been said that the person with the least knowledge can pick the winners.

UNC is gonna make an exit in the Elite Eight. Mark my words.

Duke, however, is vastly underrated (No bias, seriously).
with all the hype on UNC, they've flown under the radar.
Kyle Singler is just as good as Hansbrough, and younger.
Guys like Nolan Smith and Greg Paulus are great guards, and then there's Gerald Henderson.
Bench players like Jon Scheyer and David McClure just make them better.

LOL I see you shaking your fist when you said mark my works.

Duke actually isn't under the radar.

And no, Singler isn't as good as Tyler... Duke has left the tournament in the second round 2 years in a row... If any team is under the radar it's Missouri.

Post subject:  Re: March Madness 2009

yeah, them and memphis.
and duke is under the radar compared to the other top teams (UNC, oklahoma, pitt)

Post subject:  Re: March Madness 2009

Memphis isn't under the Radar.... Everyone already knows they can play, they made the finals last year and they should have won it.


I don't put Duke in With UNC Pitt and Okla at this time in the season beacause Duke does terrible in the tournment.

UNC is going to beat Duke.


I hope my BC makes it, but it's not looking to good.

Oklahoma gets all the hype with Griffin, they'd suck without him (Well, not suck, but still...).
UNC, as we all know, easily gets the most hype.
Pitt and UConn get a bunch of hype, plain and simple.

With Wake doing so well of late and UNC, Duke isn't as hyped up as usual. Just wait a year or two, when their young guys are developed, and you'll see.

Memphis is under the radar considering they have no real superstars, they don't play in a major conference, and they haven't been in the #1 spot all season, despite arguably being the best team.

Post subject:  Re: March Madness 2009

Memphis has it's superstars, but everyone knows Memphis can play (refer to the finals of NCAA tournament last year).



Young guys? Please never refer to that in college, in college they are all young, unless you want to call 24 or 25 old...

Just refer to that as freshman.



You could argue Mizz as being the best team, they haven't been number one yet... Oklahoma hasn't been number one this year either, they can also be arguably the best team.

oh, whoops. :oops: :oops: :oops:
i meant freshman and sophomores.
most of the hype from last year is gone, though...
