Crimson Red Sports

More good games on Sunday. Every game being played is interesting and could result in unforeseen upsets. The most intriguing game of the day comes early, Kentucky v. Wichita State. The game is played in St. Louis, giving Kentucky a huge advantage with their ability to bring fans. I expect 3/4 of the arena to have UK fans. Wichita State has a crappy SOS of 111, UK is 2. For thee reasons I expect UK to win. Other good games include:

Mercer/Tennessee
Memphis/Virginia
Gonzaga/Arizona
SF Austin/UCLA



 :gn:

They are all good games today.

To add to your list:

Baylor - Creighton
UNC - Iowa State

You guys forgot Stanford's upset of Kansas.

Dang it, HL, you had me thinking I had missed something when they haven't even played yet.  >:(

You're almost right.  They haven't played, but you'll miss it!  :lol2:

I would like to dedicate this song to all the basketball widows out there in WWW land

An oldie but goody, that still runs through my head from time to time.

Chech, you're right, chances are I will miss it.  :D

I left those games off on purpose, they strike me as boring, even though Baylor/Crighton could be a high scoring affair. Iowa State lost their forward who is scoring 16 points a game. UNC has more luck than room full of leprechauns.


 :facepalm:

Go Cardinal!

The 7 foot center for Kansas is out injured. You lucked out just like UNC.

 ;)

I knew he was going to be out for the first weekend when I made the pick.  No luck, just knowledge.

:lol:

SURE!   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Yikes....Stanford has only hit 4 out of their last 8 FTs and it may beat them.

 :duh:

HIT BOTH PLEASE!!!!

<wipes sweat from brow>

See...I told you guys.  :)

 :worship: :worship: :worship:

Kentucky wins in a breeze & never in doubt. I knew they would do it.



 :yawn:

UK-WSU best game of the tourney IMO. Cats play like that the rest of the way they will win it all.

Sorry, KoKo.  It was a great game, but it killed our brackets.

Wichita State was over rated & UK almost lost. UK is on borrowed time.


 :D

Tenn over Mercer 42-27 at the half. If they hold on we will have all three SEC teams in the Sweet 16.

I think Louisville plays Kentucky in the Sweet 16. I like it!!

What are the chances? 
Tennessee is still playing, but UNC, Duke, Syracuse, Ohio State, Wichita State... have all lost.

 ???

Errrr....maybe the SEC was a little better than advertised?

Naw. 
The message is, 'If you want to win big in the tournament, play for a crappy league'.

 :tinfoil:

The SEC is 7-0 so far in the Tourney with 3 teams in the Tourney. The ACC had 6 teams in the Tourney and are now down to 1 team & have 5-5 record. The Atlantic 10 had 6 teams and have one left and their record is 3-5. the Big Ten had 6 teams & now have 3 left & are 6-3. I doubt the media or the so called "experts" will notice or care.


 :facepalm:

Zona going to be a bear for anyone to deal with.  I think either them or Wisconsin will play Michigan in the Final Four.  Florida and Virginia look awfully tough on the other side, with MSU possibly having something to say about it.

My Final Four

Michigan
Michigan St.
Wisconsin
Florida


 :dunno:

We are almost the same. I have Louisville over the Wolverines.

I have:

Florida
Virginia
Arizona
Michigan

I have:

Florida
Virginia
Arizona
Louisville (but I wish I'd taken someone else)

Florida
Arizona
Louisville
Iowa State

I have:

Florida
Louisville
Michigan St
Creighton

The 3 hardest selections for me NOT to make were Louisville, Virginia, & Arizona, especially Virginia.


 :wall:

sooooooo, no one gives Kentucky  a chance against Louisville

They have a chance, but Louisville D & Pitino are their big advantages.

I don't know that much about Basketball, but it seems to me like Kentucky is playing more as a team now, than when they beat Louisville in December. Who knows, it should be a Great Game

I'm sure Kentucky will win.  I picked Louisville.   :-[

Me too. It's ok to bet the farm on this one, guys.

 :what: :what: :what:
