Louisville? Ok...

Louisville? Ok...

Everybody loves this team, I get Pitino is like superman during the tournament but a lot of people havethem top 5. Sure they are a great team, but I don't know, I'll be sure to be watching them verse UC.

UK is popular with those analysts, good squad too but I am a little surprised.

Yeah, the game should be a bloodbath. This may be the last time these 2 teams play each other for a long while. It's been a long hated rivalry. Sad to see it go.

I miss the big east games for sure.

That game will be a good one!

Still surprised so much love for UK with the analysts, I know there is a lot of talent, I see them with a deep run too, depends if they get hot as any other team needs too. Seems they don't gel too well.

Louisville can be rattled pretty easily. UC had them down by 17 in the first matchup and then choked the lead away. The better team won in the end, though.

[kramer1]

Arizona doesn't impress me at all.

Duke
Florida
Syracuse
UC
Wichita State/Mich State

 

[Runeman]

Not in order

Syracuse
Duke
Michigan state
Florida
Louisville...only because pitino is the best coach out there and knows how to prepare his teams.

 

[520GGATO]

Arizona's offense has been crap for about a month. They can fall to anybody right now. Another midseason slump just like last year. I'm still rolling with em' though. I'm sure they'll get it all togeather come March.

we get it. But a healthy arizona a month ago, offensive slump or not, would have rolled your bearcats. probably still will, since our defense is better than yours even without ashley. oh and there's this guy called Nick Johnson who would shut down SK like he does every other top offensive player on the opposing team. when you don't have any other scoring options, how are you going to win?

UC has the better defense, actually. You can look up the stats and everything.

Nobody shuts down SK.

SK just surpassed 2000 career points. 2nd only to the Big O in school history.

 

[520GGATO]

Cincy is not impressive either. 24-3 rec. with an 87 SOS. 3 loses by a combined total of 47 points.

we have the top rated defense in the country. whatever "statistics" you are referring to has a lot to do with the garbage pile of basketball teams you have played this season

 

[douggie]

The local pee wee team can beat Duke tonight. Anybody that says Duke can win a title this year doesn't know basketball.

also, just for reference, Brandon Ashley would be the second best player on your basketball team. and we lost him for the season

I don't know basketball. I'm saying Duke can win the title. They are in the middle of a tough stretch of games. Let's see how things go on Saturday. I'm picking Duke to win. on Saturday.

 

[douggie]

They can win Saturday. But not if they play soft defense against Syracuse like they did tonight. Six games in a row is just impossible with this team. Their lack of size and not being able to protect the rim kills them.
