OSU with the easiest draw in world history. Hoping we get both Notre Dame, so we can blow them out of the water, New Mexico, so we can show how trash and overrated the best team in the MWC is; and then I want Gonzaga so we can run the train on them and end them from making the tournament ever again. I want to beat them 150-6, so if anyone ever says Gonzaga deserves a top 10 seed, regardless if they are undefeated, people 10,000 years from now will say "Yeah but remember that time when the were a 1 seed and got CLOWNSTOMPED by Ohio State 150-6 back in 2013? They aren't good."

That's what I want. I don't even care about a championship. :thumbup:

Wouldn't that make Gonzaga in the Final Four? I'd say if that happens the selection committee got it spot on

I wouldn't leave Pitt out of the discussion in the west. They distribute the ball very well and make 37% of their 3-pointers, and beat some pretty good teams this year, including Syracuse and Georgetown, and they almost beat Michigan at the beginning of the season. I have them being a huge sleeper and could possibly make it to the FF.

I think Greg Shaheen has been a solid addition for ESPN.

I bet those selection committee people hate Lunardi. Shaheen didn't seem like he respected him at all numerous times this wknd on ESPN.

I don't care if Gonzaga makes it to the title game, I want Ohio State to beat them 150-6 and end the Gonzaga hyperbole for eternity. :thumbup:

FWIW, Lunardi got all 68 teams. And had the 1s and 2s correct.

They said ND is a tough match-up cause they force teams to shoot a ton of jumpshots and 3s.

Well...that might be true. But in that case, Iowa State is gonna run the floor with them lol

OSU has no problem forcing up a bunch of 3's; particularly Thomas. Dude was 0-6 from the 3 today and another 6-19 performance(32%). People that don't know basketball still stand behind him and think that's good or desirable. :thumbdown:
