Date: March 14th, 2018 4:15 PM Author: Demanding abode Xavier and Kansas are shitty 1 seeds that won't make it out of their regionals. Villanova and UVA are legit; Toss up between those two, I think. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3918652&forum_id=2#35605123) |

Date: March 14th, 2018 4:18 PM Author: Awkward fishy french chef persian Doesn't UVA have a tough path with Arz/Kentucky winner at the Sweet 16? I think Purdue is a weak 2 so I like Villanova but they will either win the whole thing or flame out on Saturday.
If not Xaiver and Kansas then UNC and Duke? I'm not sold on either. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2018 4:30 PM Author: Demanding abode This isn't a vintage Kentucky team and I believe they have a significant injury. Cincinnatti has a shot at UVA if anyone in that regional.
I think Gonzaga takes down Xavier and then it's the winner of UM/UNC for that regional.
Purdue is a strong 2 seed but Villanova should handle them.
Duke over Kansas. |

Date: March 14th, 2018 4:31 PM Author: Beady-eyed slate pozpig lodge I like the Zags too, as well as the UNC/UM matchup, with UM winning. I have Duke losing to Michigan State in the Sweet 16 |

Date: March 14th, 2018 4:36 PM Author: Demanding abode Izzo always shits the bed against Duke.
MSU is really talented but they haven't done shit against good teams this year. |

Date: March 14th, 2018 4:31 PM Author: Demanding abode I'd love to see Belein smack down Izzo 3 times this season but I don't think MSU can take Duke. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3918652&forum_id=2#35605273) |

Date: March 14th, 2018 4:34 PM Author: Mewling Motley Theatre I’ve done a lot of studying.
I have 3 brackets. My champ picks are Villanova, Duke, & Mich St. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2018 4:38 PM Author: Beady-eyed slate pozpig lodge Duke/MSU is the toughest pick of the Sweet 16, brutal for both teams to matchup that early. obviously Duke won the game early this season at a neutral site, and I believe Bagley sat a lot of that game in foul trouble (think he got like 3 with 10 minutes left in the first half). But MSU has improved and Miles Bridges is a really tough guy to guard for Duke because they are kind of polarized between legit bigs (Bagley/Carter) and smaller guards (Duval/Trent/Allen), and Bridges is somewhere in the middle |
|
Date: March 15th, 2018 1:54 AM Author: Mewling Motley Theatre No doubt. That's why I'm hedging my bets with Duke winning one, and Mich St. winning another. Then Villanova in my third bracket.
I'm hesitant on Virginia. They burned me in the past, and I don't like all-defense teams in the tourney.
That said, I have them in the final four in one bracket (and then losing to NC). Getting beat by Cincy in another bracket. And losing to 'Nova in the finals in my third bracket.
I can't pick them to win it all. Not with their style, their history, and losing their sixth man.
I think North Carolina has the easiest trip to the final four, and have them there in all three of my pools. |

Date: March 15th, 2018 2:08 AM Author: Frisky Bistre Blood Rage Michigan is better than UNC (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3918652&forum_id=2#35609225) |
|
Date: March 14th, 2018 4:39 PM Author: Awkward fishy french chef persian Presently leaning towards Villanova.
Funny how they and Duke both lost to my Johnnies (who weren't close to making the Tourney -- they didn't even make the NIT).
I also like Cincci although they didn't play in a tough conference. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2018 4:46 PM Author: jade stead Any of you have UVA exiting early because they lost their 6th man? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3918652&forum_id=2#35605410) |
|
Date: March 14th, 2018 4:48 PM Author: Beady-eyed slate pozpig lodge I have them winning it all. They play as a complete unit for 40 minutes, particularly on the defensive end. No NBA-caliber stars really, just extremely well-coached and experienced. Hunter averaged like 9 points a game, which is great for a bench guy, but still not a backbreaking loss. They went 17-1 in arguably the toughest conference and won the conference tournament |

|
Date: March 15th, 2018 2:04 AM Author: Mewling Motley Theatre be careful. this may be the year they prove me wrong, but i picked them to go to the finals in the past for the same reason, and they burned me.
you have to be careful of these all-defense teams once the ncaa tourney comes around.
i've coached basketball for over a decade. if you are playing one pool, i'd be wary of making them my champ pick. more than one pool, i wouldn't begrudge it. but their offense scares me. |

Date: March 15th, 2018 2:50 AM Author: Mewling Motley Theatre another thing -- you have to consider your pool's scoring system and any biases that will make teams overpicked.
one pool i'm in has the basic scoring system, no underdog bonuses, but villanova will be overpicked.
it's going to be 100 people, so in one entry i pick duke to beat nova and then win the title, and in my other i pick mich st to beat nova then win the title.
i have another one entry in a 100 person pool with an odd scoring system. it benefits upsets until the final four. so i leveraged picking appropriate upsets, but then going 'nova over virginia, the two top rated teams in the tourney, in the finals.
know your scoring systems. know your competitors. and still lose to a secretary. |

|
Date: March 20th, 2018 3:30 PM Author: Beady-eyed slate pozpig lodge they could very well lose to K-State or Nevada, but even if they make the Final Four, I think they will get blown the fuck out by anyone out of the West bracket (Michigan, A&M, FSU, or Gonzaga) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3918652&forum_id=2#35646370) |
