whats everyones prediction on the big dance?

I'd honestly rather be a 8 or 9 rather than the 7, the 2 seeds look like they are better than the 1 seed IMO, other than indiana, Gonzaga, duke, and kansas are most likely going to be the #1 seeds, if lousville or Gtown win the big east tourney then they will jump kansas for the # 1 seed, but there is no way Kansas won't win their tournament, although I do have louisville winning the big east tournament these are my #1 and #2 seeds

1 seeds:
Gonzaga
Indiana
Duke
Kansas

2. seeds:
Florida(will win the SEC)
Miami
Loiusville
Michigan

I think Gtown has been on a really good run of late and playing well, but they will lose in the quarters or the semi's so they will get a seed just a prediction

looking at those teams I don't want to play any of the 2 seeds, were as Gonzaga, Duke, and kansas are all beatable and kansas went into OT twice against Iowa state a team we beat twice.

I would really love to have duke as the number 1 seed and us a be a 8 or 9 because I think we could make a game out of it and I hate duke almost as much as kentucky and I just want a chance at beating them.

What do you guys want or predict?
 
Here are my predictions (which are often wrong)

1 seeds:
Duke, L'ville, Zags, and Indiana

2 Seeds:
G-town, Kansas, Florida, Michigan

Teams you don't want to see in your bracket:
Marquette, VCU, Wisconsin, and our Cats - if they have a decent shooting night they can beat anybody.
 
I would rather see us be a 10 ten. Personally, I can't stand the 8/9 seeds. But since I said that, it is almost a guarantee that we will be a 8/9 seed lol.
 
1 seeds: Duke, Indiana, Gonzaga, Louisville
2 seeds: Georgetown, Kansas, Michigan State, Florida

Cincinnati will barely get by Providence and lose to Georgetown, this will result in an 8 seed in the region out west with Gonzaga. UC will lose in the first (now second) round. Louisville and Duke play for the National Title in a rematch and the Cardinals capture their first NCAA Title since the 80's.


Take these to the bank folks, you probably don't even need to watch now. I don't even need to see a bracket.

good thoughts, it's hard to predict a championship game if you don't know the bracket though, they could be on the same side of the bracket and have to play in the final 4.

I'm going to say Indiana vs. Florida in the national championship

Correct, but I am projecting Duke as the #1 overall seed and Louisville as the #3 overall seed.
 
I want to say Indiana will get to the top, but i just don't believe they will after watching the Michigan game. Sure, they won, but those teams were leaving shooters open like it was in their gameplans. All it takes is one team to shoot lights out and it's a perfect recipe for an upset.

you think we could hang with duke? that is an absolute joke. they would manhandle us. they are better at every single position. plumlee vs mbodj is night and day. Kelly vs Jackson/rubles is night and day.

I'm not saying we will beat duke, i'm saying there are better teams than duke, and duke is beatable, Kelly is not 100% he scored 37 in the NC game cuz no one could match up with him, I think Jackson would shut him down, Plumlee would definitely be their go to against us, getting Cheikh into foul trouble is huge, because gaines and nyrsuk could not keep up with them, Jaquon on curry and then we have 2 matchups i like a lot with duke having a lot of freshman and sophmore guards and us having a 5th years senior and 4th year junior....................Jackson, Cash, SK, Parker all have 2 years of tourney experience may I remind you. On duke Plumlee, Curry, and Kelly all have 2 years under them. The NCAA tourney anything can happen, and I believe we match up better against them than we do vs Louisville, Michigan, Florida, Indiana, and Miami, all those teams have complete players at every position and I know we can't compete with that, Duke does not, they have 3 very good players, and one of them is not 100%.

I would like to play either duke or kansas because both of those teams are beatable. Gonzaga would be a tough out, but there is no way we could beat indiana

first of all, he had 37 against the U. 2nd of all, Jackson isn't 100 percent either. we would lose to duke by 20+ pts. they are the best team in the country. haven't lost when they are at full strength plus they play better defense than iu.
