nyjunc Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Enjoy the NIT Duke stinks as does entire ACC this year I will enjoy it, it's not often the Heels get a chance to play in the NIT and it will be a good learning experience for a young team. We'll be back to normal next year. who is your team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 duke has the easiest road I have ever seen but thankfully they'll blow it like usual. I think your team is a year away, I think they'll get picked off before Indy. I wouldn't be shocked if none of the top seeds made the FF. There has never been a year where all 4 1-seed got picked off before the Final 4, and I don't expect that to change this year. In fact, the gap between the top seeds and the middle of the pack has never been wider than in this tournament. 5 teams AT MOST have a chance to win the title, and I'd personally limit it to just 2 (Kansas or Kentucky). Teams like, say, Baylor, Kansas State, Villanova and Pittsburgh are all 2 or 3-seeds, yet outside of perhaps Baylor I don't see any of them reaching the Elite 8, let alone a title game. They may even get beat before the Sweet 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no great teams in CBB this year, there's no a 1009 UNC, 2008 KU, Memphis, UNC, UCLA, there is not a 2007 UF. KU and UK are really good(SU is right there w/ them) but when duke is the 3rd #1 that tells you how weak CBB is this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanDoug Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I know there's not much Pac10 love here, but in the East #11 Washington only 1 point dogs against #6 Marquette. Very winable game for the Huskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I know no one cares about the NIT, but there's been a couple good games on tonight. UCONN outlasted Northeastern by 2 earlier, and UNC-William & Mary are off to a good start in Chapel Hill; it looks like both teams could approach 90 points.

It either wakes them up and they make a run , or they lose next round if they play same way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest assured we'll be back. I'm also well aware that despite millions upon millions of dollars, enormous budgets, and all the resources needed to succeed (not to mention scores of smug fans like yourself shoving "The Big East is best" down everyone's throats all season), the Big East has as many teams remaining in the dance as the West Coast Conference.
