We almost beat them without it. We lost by 11 without our best player at Kansas. I think we handle them easily by 10-15 points. KU doesn't have anyone that can match up with Sullinger, who is, IMO, the best player in the country.SportsAndLady;1077618 wrote:Good joke LOL

I'd love to see osu vs Kansas again. Kansas has improved a lot since that game as well. Sully vs Robinson would be awesome.

You do know Jeff Withey leads the Big 12 in blocks/game? And Thomas Robinson wouldn't be able to defend Sullinger? lulz

Actually Wichita st is a dangerous team. If I was Ohio st I wouldn't want to play them in the 2nd round

Drexel and Belmont would be two of the best 15 seeds in NCAA tournament history.
The East would be a crazy region with X, Iona, Cleveland State, and Belmont as the 12-15 seeds. Those are all legit teams.

If Xavier could get it together they would be the most dangerous team in the tourney. But that's a big if at this point.

If they win the A10 they are going to have a high seed for what their potential is, but most dangerous in the tourney?Crimson streak;1077661 wrote:If Xavier could get it together they would be the most dangerous team in the tourney. But that's a big if at this point.

If he meant the most dangerous lower-half (9+) seed, I would agree. They looked like a potential Sweet 16/Elite 8 team before the brawl.

Exactly. I thought they had a legit chance at the elite 8 maybe final four before the brawl. Now they look like shit it's actually a shame

So a team playing at its best has a legit chance at the elite 8...is more dangerous than a team playing at its best having a legit chance at a title? lol
But yeah if you're talking 8+ seed, sure.

That's what I'm saying. If they get in obviously their going to have a 8+ seed. They are dangerous on the talent alone and the way they were playing in the beginning of the year. That brawl has really derailed their season and it's almost crazy how fast they went down hill after that.

Louisville is just clowning on UConn today. Literally a dunk/layup line. UConn appears to have quit

This is the same team -Walker +Boatwright +Drummond right? How could they have regressed so much?

+ DeAndre Daniels too.
Seven players on the roster ranked as top 50 recruits. 4 of them being top 20. Crazy they can look this bad.

No leadership. Lamb plays like crap sometimes and it effects the team. I could see Boatright stepping into a leadership role eventually if he doesnt bolt after this year(if Calhoun retires). Lamb and Drummond will leave, Napier,Smith, and Daniels could all transfer. This team could really be bad next year.chicago510;1077793 wrote:This is the same team -Walker +Boatwright +Drummond right?

UCONN got hot at the end of the year...that's really all it comes down to.
They weren't the best team, they got hot when it counted

Mizzou's got this game, but Oklahoma is hovering around the spread (+5.5) so I'm nervous

Exactly. They were only 9-9 in the Big East. That's right about where I'd expect them to finish this season.SportsAndLady;1077797 wrote:UCONN got hot at the end of the year...that's really all it comes down to.

Andre Drummond only shows up half the time. He's a non-factor just as frequently as he's a beast. And Shabazz Napier might never make another 3 pointer.

I agree with S&L but I'd rather get hot when it counts rather than just "being the best team."

National Championship is a national championship lol
I just hate when people say that the best team is always the national champions.
It's a bit biased (sort of..), but the best year for who truly was the best team was when Kansas won in '08 because the 4 Final 4 teams were 1 seeds.
Or just when a dominant regular season team also wins the title...like UNC in '09
