Go penn state

Osu loses in the quarters of the big ten I think that permanently keeps us ahead of them on the seed line

Definitely

Me and the guys at work always fill out every major conference tourney brackets and so far I’m perfect. Penn state is a bad match up for osu

I doubt you picked Rutgers in the semis though lol

Rooting for under dog season watching Rutgers trying to take down Purdue right now is fun

Apparently...one loss can happen to anyone...two & things are gettin' real, three is just "we got your number, b..ch"

Xavier walks away with a one basket win and late miss by 11-18 DePaul.theyre playing not very good basketball lately. They might be in trouble in the tourney

Doubt it.

They’ve done this all year long. Play down to teams and yet never lose.

They do enough to win these kinda games and really only show up in big games


While I hope they lose early but I think Villanova is the only team who can beat them on a consistent basis.

They are deep talented and have a few killers on their team.

True title contender

Their offense can not be stppped.

Only elite offensive teams will be able to take them down

Hopefully some 16 seeds have elite offenses then, cuz I’m picking Xavier to lose to a 16 in all my brackets

Elite offense #89 of providence took them down. And they got lucky in a quite a few games against garbage teams. Late fouls have given them two wins that I know of. And they're 6-4 in group 1, I wouldn't say they consistently "step up" in big games.

Haha I don't think Xavier makes it to the second weekend.

scored .89 PPP at depaul. 1.01 PPP at creighton. 1.0 PPP at St Johns, .91 PPP vs nova, 1.01 PPP at providence.


i'd say they can be stopped on the road.

And they won 3 of the 5.

And how many NCAA games are played on the road ?

 

[justinhub2003]

Look I hate Xavier and I hope nothing but the worst for them.

But the reality is; good breaks or not, they capitalize on luck far more than we do and they advance in the tourney much more than we do.

Can they get beat early? Sure and I hope they do, but I can easily see them making their first final four just like Gonzaga did last year. They have all the required part of what it takes to win and while they don’t defend well on a grand scale, they do buckle down and get stops when they need to.

It’s going to be embarrassing if they make it further in the tourney than us again. I hope that doesn’t happen

sorry, away from home, is that better.

Kansas getting blow out by a mediocre Okla State. They do not deserve a 1. I think this could be the year, maybe...
