lol..baylor sux and baylor is awful..i guess they didn't put on enough of a display vs creighton for you and their past 10 games...as for being a perfect matchup for whisky,....lol x2.

you could throw creighton jerseys on the whisky players and you wouldn;t be able to tell the difference in the two teams. whisky gets beat every year by teams teams like this...bigger, faster, stronger and more athletic...

what was really impressive was baylors defense..and not just their different zone looks..but the quickness to the perimeter and size extending everywhere

Theres so much stupidity in this statement. Creightons only big win was over Villanova (2)

Wisconsin beat FL (1) Virginia (1) Mich (2) Mich st (4) St Louis (5)

I could go deeper but you're clearly just talking out of your ass. This WI team has a really good chance of getting beat by Fl in the Championship which is what I have in my brackets.

well,...since you have whisky over fla in your brackets there's no denying it has a good chance...but whisky is primarily a dopey, awkward, white basketball team that hurls up 3's........sounds a lot like creighton to me..

[mulva]

i think everyone's bracket could be in for a world of hurt....although they've won, mich st and louisville have to to show the dominance you would have expected, and florida still hasn't played a really good team in some time. dunno if ucla is the team to beat them, but it's a start in facing a unique team rostering NBA players...can't believe tenn or kentucky has a decent chance to go to the final 4..but they do......i can believe uconn does.......don't see how iowa st will beat them at MSG......uconn will run w/ them and get into a transitional game if they want, and will likely outscore them that way, or wear them down w/ their defense..if not both

pretty amazing they hung a 1.5 on mich

You just havent seen them play. The reason they're so good and their white is because thy're so athletic. All you are doing is sterotyping them which means you havent seen them play. I guess you will have to actual watch them play to understand just because their white it doesnt mean their not athletic. Any other year and I would agree with you which is why I understand you just think something that you think is correct but its not. I said before the tourney started this isnt your typical Wisconsin team. They have athletes that can score. Every year come NCAA time I know the typical WI team they play great defense slow down the game and they can beat anyone but when they're off they can lose to anyone which means they wont go far in the tourney. Im telling you this year is different. They can flat out ball which they've proven by beating some of the best teams in bball.

[BeerAndPoker]

This year the Big Ten had three teams that were Top 12 or so and all three are left including Wisconsin who shouldn't be compared to them Creighton frauds imo.

[mulva]

yeah,...i know whisky isn't the same team. they're different in the sense that they don't play defense very well. thing is, i can't seem them outscoring this baylor team either.

baylor's defense has been brutally good..and they have weapons everywhere on offense. right now i'm staring at the baylor ML of +145/+155 which is lol

[mulva]

look at this guys take on the selection committee.

i have to say,..he's pretty accurate in his beliefs and the driving force behind things

you can see the media fueling michigan and iowa st betting. if either uconn and tenn didn;t open your eyes by now, they're never going to be fully open.

vegas hanging a 1.5 on michigan is another tell..(i didn;t like mich anyway, and if ariz st had beaten texas, they would've beaten mich)

wonder where the line is heading it's already @ 2.5. i would say it maybe goes to 4. and people keep pounding away @ iowa st as well....lol

yeah,...i know whisky isn't the same team. they're different in the sense that they don't play defense very well. thing is, i can't seem them outscoring this baylor team either.

baylor's defense has been brutally good..and they have weapons everywhere on offense. right now i'm staring at the baylor ML of +145/+155 which is lol

I'm with you. One the reasons might be because I took Baylor to win the thing 100/1 at the beginning of the tourney but I'm with you.

[PokerPrince2]

Baylor hasnt played anyone with a big guy like Frank Kaminsky in this tournament. Isiah Austin wont be able to sit within six feet of the hoop protecting the rim. I watched both Baylor games and am impressed by there defense. Wisconsin has five guys that can shoot the three. They have to hit the threes to win the game. Thats why Baylors won their first two games neither team were hitting the three ball. Nebraska started out 0-12 from three. I dont see that happening to Wisconsin.

The Computer Analyitc machiene that ESPN had go through the brackets has Wisconsin as a 64% chances of beating Baylor. They were 81% against American and 51% against Oregon.

My predicition.

76-60 Wisconsin

Game at MSG. Sorta like a home game for UConn. I see UConn containing the pace. Only way over is hit is if ISU is on fire on fire plus high fouls.

UConn 74-67

You do realize that they are pretty much averaging the same PPG this season right. Wisco has more versatile offensive weapons. Baylor has not played big men like Kaminsky and Hayes this tournament

[BeerAndPoker]

I really like UCONN as well. They are hot right now and ISU was lucky to escape the last game.

It's a tweaking process for ISU after losing Niang in the first tournament game that I think could be the difference vs. UCONN.

[JMM]

Fuck Louisville.
