Was hoping Belmont would get a decent draw. I think they got it with Wisconsin. The red haired kid for Wisky (Bruzewicz) has a bum knee as well. The second round match up with KSU/USU is winnable as well. BOL

Looking hard at Mizzou, Uconn, UNLV and the Ville!
Cinci and Illi are overrated in my estimation. Uconn and Walker are on fire right now, although they may come out a little sluggish at first, believe they will smoke Bucknell in the end. Louisville will be way to much for Morehead St (Best college name out there) to handle!
Also feel there is way too much love out their for Belmont, great they can run and gun go 11 deep but who have they played, SOS of 290! I am not saying Wisc is great by no means, but I will let the public pound down this line and probably make a small play on the Badgers before tip off!
Think KSU may be too athletic for the Aggies, remember when the played Gtown earlier in the year, Hoyas won going away!

Can UGA score enough to hang with Wash? Wash D is pretty weak. Haven't seen UGA play but a few times and their pace seemed slow and was wondering if Wash style would be a problem for them. Thought it was a mismatch in style.
You follow Big 10 a decent amount right? Why is Illinois struggling so much? Is that team still an auto fade vs. UNLV?

JR - I just think that Wisonsin can be too inconsistent getting the big shot in games like this. Belmont a very good squad.
CB - Good to see you around, buddy!
I think Illinois and Cincy are probably overrated. Missouri is a miserable first round draw for Cincy, but the contrasting styles should give Cincy an edge. I just say its miserable because Missouri is filled with athletes.
I am not saying Belmont could play in the Big 10. But this is a great chance for them to stay within the #. Wisconsin going to get plenty of love too, not really a chance the public moves this line - if it moves. Wisconsin isnt as complete offensively as they need to be to make a run here.
The Louis press should frustrate Morehead to no end.
The Hoyas present a tough matchup for 95% of College teams. They play a different brand of basketball. KSU, that team isnt consistent enough to be laying points. USU is extremely talented and well coached.

Thanks as always.
I think UGA can score enough there. Can Washington play enough defense? Teams that play defense usually have the advantage over those that do not this time of year. If Overton is still out, I got UGA by 10. They lose a spark off the bench. I just expect the game to be played with possessions like a typical UGA game than a typical Washinton one. UGA matches up pretty damn good too.
Illy was struggling shooting the ball the second half of the year. Them and UNLV are eerily similar if you dont look at the jerseys. Illinois has the talent to beat anyone, so I wouldnt rule them out. But its just not often you want to face Lon Kruger in the first round. What a shitty draw. If I were Illy, I would rather have faced any other 8 seed in this tournament.

RJ how much of this Belmont love is because if the last two games Wisky has played? I think those two games and Belmont being on a roll within their little conference has this way overblown! Don't you think now would be a good time to fade Belmont?

It could be a good time to fade Belmont, but I believe they are a top 20 team in the nation. Their #13 seeding is a joke. Its for people who only pay attention to conferences.
Listen, I am not saying Belmont will beat Wisc. There is a gigantic coaching advantage going Wisconsin's way, but most people think teams bounce back from losses like Wisconsin has had. I think the perception is that Wisconsin is this giant - which they sort of are.
I just think Belmont has the talent to compete here. This is not your typical # 13 seed. Wisconsin has shown to be less than profitable in the road favorite role.

I agree with everything you are saying, it just seems like there is a public Cinderella every year who people go nuts on only to see them lose in the first round, I think Belmont could be that team this year. We can't use Butler as an example as they are consistently ranked in the top 30 or so year in and year out.
Either way, I think this will be one of the better more wide open tournaments that we have seen in some time.
Really liking UNLV the more I research the game, Illini are a soft bunch who will back away from UNLV's physical style.

RJ- same thoughts on most games think Utah St getting less than a bucket is certainly a sign especially after last yrs poor showing and KST's great showing.
like OLD Dominion but going be a battle against Butler.
like Richmond but Vandy should be ready cause early exit last yr.
Check out Syracuse and Purdue and give me your thoughts. Hardly ever play big favorites but like these 2 coming off loses as favorites and playing teams who won their tournaments and aren't really that good!

RJ - good stuff buddy, have some similar thoughts. Utah State, Georgia, FSU, ODU. Haven't fully dug into the bracket, but initial do like these teams initially
