but I want the 3 in the crap #1 bracket and not in syracuse

Give us the high 3 and Duke.

How far is Purdue going to fall?

just don’t want to be anywhere near this guy:

Hoyas, Terps in tug-of-war

 Moses Abraham arrived in the U.S. from Nigeria in November, and soon, the 19-year-old will choose his college, either Maryland or Georgetown, and break the hearts of one of the schools that doggedly pursued him from the beginning.

we’ve been playing a lot better as a team with something to prove. i think it has been feeding the fire in our guys’ bellies. to get a 2 seed scares me because it might make our guys too complacent.

don’t want none of kansas. kentucky would be aight, with a long shot hope that they lose before we would meet up in elite 8 due to their youth and immaturity (see near loss to Miss St. today). would LOVE to face Purdue in our bracket.

ideal situation: high 3 seed in Duke and/or WVU bracket (if they overtake Duke).

Would it really be that bad? It’s not as if Cuse fans would come out the woodworks to specifically root against us (unless they really are that evil, but I’m sure they have bigger things to worry about at this point). It’s in the East, a lot easier for Hoya fans to get to than other regions. Plus it means we wouldn’t have to play Cuse for a 4th time, even though I like our chances a lot better now.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but why would that be so bad?

Has been played. It’s go time.

Unbelievable

Shit

Stunned

Who guards him? We have no one his height. I’m going to throw up.

Tennessee beat us last year
Ohio State in the Final Four

Ok I feel a little better

awful draw

MSU, Kansas, Ohio State, Gtown

Is the Committee trying to gerrymander it so Duke goes to the Final Four?

im watching ESPN, is there a more up-to-date site?

would not be afraid of KSU, Pitt, or BYU

obviously stacked it to make it easy for Duke. Sickening

did they show Gtown?

and let some other sucker come to the midwest as our #3 seed?

so yes it makes total sense to put them in the same bracket as the #1 overall seed

That’s amazing.

bullshit

i like the draw.

ohio state needed a prayer to beat michigan and needed overtime to beat illinois.

kansas is kansas and we’ll deal with that when we need to.

tennessee is a bit concerning in the second round, but certainly not any more than boston college was in ’07.

no sense in whining any longer.

ONE. GAME. AT. A. TIME.

they are one of the few 6 seeds that have actually beaten a 1. Hopson is alright, nut Pearl is not a great game coach and in terms of talent they are no better than say marquette or louisville. I think SDSU used up their luck to win the MW tourney, so it would be very surprising to see them win.

Someone tell me they actually watched ohio and can weigh in.

other than duke, I thought it was a fair bracket overall. No UCLA, UNC, Arizona or Uconn is a bit weird. A little suprised florida got in over Miss State

No way Nova deserved a #2 seed the way they played down the stretch. Nova got the good draw. Hoyas got screwed with a tough draw.

I bestow upon you Marquette’s traditional Al McGuire blessing:

GIVE ’EM HELL.

If you play like you played in the BEast tournament, it doesn’t matter who’s in your draw. Good luck.

I’m a native Oregonian and know the nike power, but Pitt’s a better job hands down. Unless Pitt is big ten bound.

If Duke gets upset in the second round by Louisville that would be phenomal and the ultimate proof positive of the superiority of the BE over the ACC.

Hopefully that would prevent Dickie V and other ACC homers from creating this kind of absurd bracket in the future.

Go Louisville!

like most people. Yes, of course we gotta come ready to play, and yes I think we have a good chance against any team in this country as long as we’re playing the way we have been playing. But still, there’s good draws and there’s bad ones, there’s lucky ones and there’s unlucky ones. And often times the tourney is all about a team’s particular path to the Final Four. This will certainly be a more challenging path for us compared to some other paths I’m looking at right now.

That being said, let’s get it done.
