The under 40 points might be a reality...

Worst at large maybe

Outside of Bucknell and UC Santa Barbara, the worst overall. Plenty of time left though.

I'm really liking my Florida pick to the Final Four.

They'll crush the winner of this game and BYU would be no match. Pitt will choke and get upset.

Agree. I think Florida can win the national title, but definitely make the Final Four in this bracket.

A 26-7 Florida squad gets a much easier road than a 31-2 Ohio State squad who basically who will have to battle from Sunday on. George Mason is tough, then probably West Virginia and Syracuse. Brutal

UK and Carolina is a more brutal road than those 2.

The whole right side of the bracket is much easier.

Honestly, look at the rundown of teams in the Sweet 16 on the left side.

Ohio State, Kentucky, Syracuse, North Carolina, Duke, Texas, Connecticut, San Diego State. Any of those teams could win it all.

Chalk on the other side is Kansas, Louisville (gone), Purdue (taking on water the last few weeks), Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Wisconsin, BYU, Florida.

Just looking at the names there, the left side if FAR scarier.

They have no identity, up until this year they were known as a great rebounding and defensive team, what can they be classified as now?

The problem with MSU, is they don't have enough talent imo...just too hyped.

Not many teams in the NCAA would be that good losing 2 of their top 3 guards and having their star Pg coming back from Achilles surgery and not being full speed til half way through the season IMO

No I definitely agree. I think if they were at full strength, they'd have a very good team. But you can't lose the guys they lost and then get trampled with injuries, and expect to win very many games.

They still should be able to rebound and defend the way they always have, and Lucas has got to play at a high level, no excuse for a senior in his final NCAA tournament. He had a bum ankle a week ago but was still playing lights out, he has to be a lot healthier now.

They were one of the best rebounding teams in the big 10 by the numbers. Defense is pretty crappy though i agree

They have always been near the tops in the country, and even if Lucas doesn't shoot well, he needs to be a playmaker, seems like he is always just looking to create his own shot.

Yeah thats been true this game. Doesnt help when you have Kebler and Thorton spotting up in the corner catching it wide open and pump faking instead of shooting lol. Hard to create for someone who wont shoot.

Summers is finally strokin though....unfortunately hes the only one

Put Appling and Summers in the corner, run pick and roll up top with Green and Lucas.
