It's insane. He's on the refs more than any coach I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj meadowlands Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The East is brutal, but fun (especially on this thread, it seems..) Not a huge fan of Nova having to deal with Wisconsin in the 2nd round. I'm sure they aren't either. Waiting to hear back from the university whether I am able to purchase East regional tickets. They are going for a very pretty penny otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I know maybe only a couple of you care, but here's an interesting article on how to beat UVA's defense: http://www.coachesclipboard.net/PackLineOffense.html UNCW has all the pieces in place to do exactly what the article says. Push pace, drive, kick and knock down 3's, etc. We're gonna win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 too many people are picking UNCW so I am going w/ UVa. I wouldn't be shocked if it happened as UVa is not a good tourney team but these smaller schools usually pull the upsets when they are overlooked. I don't see UVa overlooking this team that hung w/ duke last year and w/ so many people picking them this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Middle Tennessee has been the more popular 12-5 pick, but yes, we're not entering this thing flying under the radar either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deckerfan Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm picking UNCW in my brackets! UVA is not the same as last year. Brogdon their best player for the past few years is gone, and that transfer kid Nichols dismissal left them thin in the front court. Their bigs are very mediocre IMO if asked to provide scoring, and I think Wilkins (?) may not be 100%. I'm probably going tomorrow morning to watch games at Buffalo Wild Wings!

nyjunc Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I am waffling on Mid Tn State b/c of that too but UVa is better than Minnesota. what's great about the Tourney is almost anything can happen in round 1 so outside of 1's or 2's losing nothing is really that shocking.

Jetsfan80 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I've filled out 14 brackets so far. Here's who I have going to the Final 4 the most often across my brackets: Duke (7) Gonzaga (7) UNC (6) Kentucky (6) Kansas (5) Villanova (4) Louisville (4) Arizona (3) UCLA (3) West Virginia (3) Oregon (2) Michigan (2) Baylor Florida Florida State UNCW (lol, had to on 1 bracket) And this is who I have winning it all the most: Kentucky (3) Duke (2) UNC (2) Villanova (2) West Virginia Louisville Gonzaga UCLA Kansas So yeah, kinda weird I ended up with Kentucky going deep on so many, but it's hard to count out a Calipari-coached team in the tournament, even if I hate him a lot. I think that region is a relatively easy path for both UNC and Kentucky, so I have UNC and Kentucky meeting up a lot in the Elite 8, and have Kentucky winning slightly more often. And yeah, I also think this is the year Gonzaga gets to the Final 4. We say that every year, but this team has more "swagger" than years past. I have them losing to West Virginia in several brackets, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I'm putting any money on is the first one I filled out. In that one I went with West Virginia over Kentucky in the title game. West Virginia's turnover margin (+8.2) is what makes me believe in them. The teams that make the fewest mistakes and cause their opponents to make the most mistakes on a consistent basis can win in a tournament. Now having said that, WVU will undoubtedly get beaten by Bucknell in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
