I probably wouldn't pick the 4 best teams for my Final Four

 

I tried to tell my girlfriend not to pick the 4 number 1 seeds to reach the final four when she was filling out her bracket one year, and of course that was the year when all of them reached. Whoops.

My updated final four:

 

Michigan

Florida

Kansas

Louisville

Hard to argue with your first three. I'm not as sold on Louisville though.

 

I think Louisville just has too much talent and will put it together when the time comes.

 

Indiana/Michigan should be fun. I hate that the game in Ann Arbor is the last B10 game of the season. I feel like it will be overshadowed by the B1G and NCAA tourneys (which is maybe a good thing if UM doesn't win). I'd rather this one be at Michigan. Oh well.

I think its pretty well determined that the committee looks at the last handful of games maybe even moreso than conf tourneys. I'd rather this game be in Ann Arbor too as if IU loses they are probably done in the B1G race. I'd rather lose there than at home at this point. At least would still have a shot with a home game at the end even with a road loss this week.

On the contrary, the committee has explicitly stated that recent games have no more weight than early games in the selection process.

So...the four No. 1 seeds?

 

Right, because L'Ville is playing so amazing right now. Creighton would be my #5

 

The only team I've moved out of my preseason Final Four is NC State, they can't play a slow tempo.

 

Can't see IU making it. Someone is gonna give them a matchup nightmare along the way. I think Michigan is far superior right now. And no, Saturday's outcome will not change my mind on that if IU wins.

As an IU fan, I agree. I think Michigan's the best team in the nation. And I fully expect the Hoosiers to go down in the 2nd weekend of the tourney at some point. But I really don't know that there are any really bad matchups for them except a team like Wisconsin who forces them to execute in the half court by getting back on D, taking care of the ball, and keeps them off the offensive boards. But even that's iffy if Oladipo keeps playing as well as he has in the 1/2 court recently and Yogi keeps knocking down shots.

 

Teams with athletic 6'10"- 7-footers will give Zeller trouble inside. If he gets into foul trouble and the outside shots aren't falling, then they will lose. Don't necessarily think that's a matchup issue as IU can still win with a big scoring 30 (as shown last night) as long as Zeller stays in the game and IU outshoots the other team from outside.

They've said it, but I feel like we've seen several brackets that show evidence to the contrary.

Where is Myke Henry at? Jesus Groce get your head out of your ass.

 

Giving up lots of easy layups?

He's actually played great defense today sans one alley oop he was beat on. That curl cut was Nanna's assignment.

i don't know how the refs can live with themselves after a performance like tonight. they should kill themselves in the most painful way imaginable

I hope they at least asked valentine to not elbow our kids in the head again after they saw him do it three times on replay, before awarding Michigan state the ball.
