You really think Duke will get 2? I'm a duke fan, and I said three. But with Uconn losing to Syracuse, I didn't think they'd get the number one. They probably will, but I wouldn't think they should. I dunno, was a crazy game.
tottally agree with u. but then again it's Duke. i always give them 1 or 2. have to say over the past three years they let me down....a lot. note: UNC lost to FSU and Ohio St. knocked off Michigan St. wtf?
I called the FSU game! Haha, and the Michigan state game, yea, I thought it would be close. I think Ucon should get 2.
Yea, but eh, they didn't play very well this year. FSU vs Duke is the ACC tourny finals. Duke beat them earlier this season, but I dunno, FSU is playin' well now.
SEC basketball is itself a joke. not the caliber it shows in football. how do u feel about Wake?. I think they can make an excellent run. mayb Final Four?
Depends where they end up. If they get the seed they deserve, then yea, maybe elite eight. But, with losing first round ACC I doubt they'll get a great seed. My big underdog win team is FSU. I called that before ACC tourny started. Especially if they beat us tomorrow. Watch out, they are a huge team with some clutch shooters. Even with Lawson, UNC will have a hard time with them. However, if Duke wins tomorrow, they have a legitimate argument for being a #1 seed. With Uconn losing, Pitt losing(I think they lost, right?) and if Syracuse beats Louisville tonight, then EVERY team they predicted to be a #1 will have lost their conference.
yea. Pitt lost to WVU. by 14 i think. Dejuan Blair is a monster though. def carried Pitt on his shoulders this year. I think 'Cuse can pull out with a win tonight, but with back to back OT games who knows?. they're def. worn out.
def. i swear when he hit the jumper from the left wing against uconn, he was calling thabeet or some other player a bitch. i read his lips on tv. :lol:
