Who Will Be The First #1 Seed To Lose?

[TheDayMan]

Oregon. Fuck those guys.

 

[dcZONAfan]

Agreed. I have Oregon out S16 to Baylor

I think Oregon is going to easily handle Baylor or Duke.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Villanova is going to be the first 2 seed to lose yes sir

Really think Temple will be better the second time around?

Maybe. Baylor matches up well athletically with the Ducks and the Bears are a far better defensive abd rebounding team. Oregon can score it though and they are one of only a handful of teams that can compete athletically with Baylor

Lol. Um no...

Yeah, I just think it's a huge advantage to have already seen Baylor's zone and I think Oregon has improved more over the course of the year than any other team.

First game was a really good one. I was 50/50 on the pick so it wouldn't shock me

I mean Oregon beat them already this year before Oregon looked anything like they do right now.
they are nearly the same in def as far as points allowed at Baylor 69.3 and Oregon 69.1 points per game. Baylor out rebounds Oregon 37.39 to 36.15 per game. Baylors come at O 453 D 781 while Oregon has O 399 and D 830. for a total of B-1234 rebounds vs O-1229.
Oregon is #2 in the country in blocked shots compared to Baylor tied for 82nd.
Oregon has 11.2 turnovers per game. baylor has 12.9.
im not so sure about far better defensive or rebounding

Allowing the same PPG in the B12 as a team does in the P12 is 2 very different things. The only team in the P12 capable of scoring Luke Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa St I'd Oregon themselves. Like I said I'm 50/50 on it. I just like Baylor's toughness a bit more than Oregons

You probably mised in because the PAC 12 network sux, but Benj came out in OT of the Zona game and hit a 3 to put them up after missing a lot of the second half with a bum foot. I'd put the Duck's toughness against Baylor's especially Benj and Cook.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Oregon is a lot better than you think they are.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

In my bracket I've got UNC-Kansas-Oregon in the FF and Virginia losing to Butler in the round of 32.

My fourth team in the FF is Dayton fyi, so not all of my picks are boring.

 

[dcZONAfan]

Oregon is a lot better than you think they are.

To be fair rmilia has been high on Oregon all season long. He's not someone who "hasn't seen them play" like most people.

That said I think, overall, the PAC is just as strong an offensive league as the B12 is.

 

[jontaejones]

Yea, they looked it when they were spanked at Haas Pavilion on National TV earlier this year...

Go Bears!

P12 had the highest home winning percentage in the country. No shame in dropping a game at Haas, trust me

But on a serious note, I have Oregon out first.

 

[tducey]

Oregon

 

[Olyduck]

North Carolina

 

[963BUSC]
