Speaking of nuts, have you heard from him? I hope he joins this board. Yes, I talked to him. I told him people here wanted him to join and I was passing it on. He said thank you and that he would check it out. He also said he has been busy with home renovation. Maybe when he has more time he will join. I sure hope he does, we need his input.

I'm going to take UNC. They have much better inside play, Louisville is all jumpers and guard play basically, Tar Heels are a deep team and have been dominanting in every area, plus it is at the Dean Dome, so I don't think Louisville has a good chance. Should be a fun game.
Think Syracuse has a shot to beat Duke? I do, I think this Cuse team are better than the way they play and they've beaten 2 top 10 teams in the Carrier Dome already.

Indiana lost to Iowa, looks like the Hoosiers are out of it now. Think Crean is on the hot seat? I would think he has to be. The expectations were really high for Indiana this year and he has failed miserably. nuts sure will love it if he is fired. they did have Anunoby go down. his draft stock was skyrocketing before he got injured. mid lotto pick. really hurt them. that being said - is it bad to this day i still can't root for Indiana since Bobby Knight was associated with them?

I haven't seen Syracuse this year and you can never doubt what Boeheim can do, but Duke is hot. I take Duke.

Syracuse and Duke has been a close game so far. Syracuse is always hard to beat in the dome and they always play solid defense, they just need to get some offensive spark now.

YES!!! Down goes Duke!! Thriller in the Carrier Dome. Amazing win for Syracuse, considering how they didn't get much from Lyden and especially White and they got killed on the offensive glass. That should get Syracuse in the tournament.
Any day that Duke and that piece of shit Grayson Allen lose is a great day. I loved watching Allen choke and jack up pointless 3's. Fuck elitist Duke and phony scumbag Coach K!
Louisville-UNC coming up, should be another good one.

North Carolina gets the nice win over Louisville 74-63. Cards played them tough in the first half and were surprisingly tough in the paint, but Carolina took over in the second half and got presence inside while nailing 3's and they played very well on defense all night. I really like this Tar Heel team, they have 3 great players in Jackson, Berry and Meeks and have a very deep bench as well. Very solid all around, a favorite to get back to the Title. Louisville has some good players but I don't think they have enough inside game or defense to make it to the Final Four.
Anyone see Petino get pissed at the fan at half?

Yeah, the announcers were talking about the Pitino incident in the second half and inquired of the floor reporter what had happened. She said that she heard a fan scream out "Hey Pitino, you suck" (and she spelled out suck, as if it were some bad word. lol.). I can't believe that's all it was though. Who's gonna get pissed at that? Everybody shouts that all the time. If I was a coach and the opposing team's fans didn't shout that at me I'd figure I wasn't doing my job very well. I'll have to read up and see if I can find something different. I'm a Carolina fan, btw, so I was very pleased with the game. I honestly didn't expect the Tarheels to be this good this year.

I know, I found that strange from Petino. I've heard much worse shouted at games, that is strange.
The Tar Heels are excellent this year, I give them a great shot at returning to the Final Four

Today's new bracketology:
#1 seeds - Kansas, Nova, Gonzaga, UNC
Breakdown by conference:
ACC 10 Big Ten 7 Big 12 6 Big East 6 Pac 12 5 SEC 4 Various 2
I agree with the #1's. The Big Ten surprise me, shows a lot of respect for the conference. Is the ACC really that deep?

What happened to Oklahoma (9-18, 3-12)? They are dead last in the Big 12 this year. Last year, they were a Final Four team (29-8). I'm not saying they should be that strong every year, but come on. They should at least be a tournament consideration every season. 20-10, 18-12, or so I think is realistic for a program like Oklahoma. They were bad (as in good) in the 1980's. Billy Tubbs and Company were awesome. No hardware to show for it though. Losing to Kansas 83-79 in the 1988 Championship was a real gut punch. 'Danny and the Miracles'. UGH!
Billy Tubbs' OU career: 1980-81 (9-18) 1981-82 (22-11) 1982-83 (24-9)* 1983-84 (29-5)* 1984-85 (31-6)* 1985-86 (26-9)* 1986-87 (24-10)* 1987-88 (35-4) * 1988-89 (30-6)* 1989-90 (27-5)* 1990-91 (20-15) 1991-92 (21-9)* 1992-93 (20-12) 1993-94 (15-13) total (333-132; .716) (*)NCAA's

Oklahoma lost Buddy Hield and a couple of other guys, that's why they suck so bad right now, it happens sometimes. I remember the last time UNC won the title they didn't even make the tournament the next year.
I agree with the 1 seeds as well, but I don't think Nova or Gonzaga is going that far and Kansas might choke as well, right now of the four 1 seeds I'm only picking the Tar Heels to go to the Final Four.

'nova / creighton on now. i like 'nova bowing to Butler again and Reynolds being out for the 5th straight game. they've only been going 7 deep. forces them to go to the bench more. adversity and a loss before the tourney = blessing in disguise. like getting the loss to seton hall in the Conference Finals before the tourney out of the way last year. nobody scares me this year. hoping for another 'Nova Final 4 appearance
