Most impressive team in the tourney so far.

[pumpkinhead33793]

Badgers have been the best team in the country (in the second half). BO's second half adjustments are infallible as you noticed with coming from behind 12 vs Oregon/refs and winning by 8 and coming back vs MSU in outscoring them in the second half by 15 points. However the issue is our start. We are one of if not the worst/slowest starting teams in the NCAA. We were even down to American University at one point early in the first game. I just can't see us making these major comebacks for the entire tournament as the level of play will drastically increase as we progress. If the game is tied or UW is up at the half I would say we are a lock to win. If it's within 10 it's 50/50 but over ten it would take a near miracle vs a top ten team like MSU, Arizona, Florida (yes we beat them but they were missing players).

Wisconsin has 7 losses. In 6 of those 7 losses, Wisconsin was outscored in the 2nd half. In 4 of those 7 losses, Wisconsin HAD THE LEAD at Halftime.

To say they are a lock to win if tied at halftime is an absolute joke.

Too soon?

Michigan St's defense hasn't shown up yet but their scoring is scary. So Wisconsin or Florida

dcZONAfan, Runeman, why are you two always arguing? It's kind of entertaining. Please....continue.

Wow, where to start.

I am ok with somebody not knowing a lot about basketball. That's fine, not everyone who enjoys basketball was exposed to it at an early age. Plenty of fathers don't like basketball and the kids probably don't end up watching very much growing up.

What I am not ok is when somebody who doesn't know anything about basketball getting all of their info from ESPN and then thinking that everything they hear on that worthless media outlet is the be-all-end-all of opinions. And then spouting off those opinions here like they mean anything. Also he says IMO in every post when it's clear it's not at all his opinion (and if it is, that's even worse)

[Loneranger]

Dayton, easily.

makes ya wonder how a team with that much talent is unrecognized all yr.

 

[dcZONAfan]

Going to go Baylor.. They destroyed A HUGELY OVERRATED CRAYTON..

FIFY

And for the record I was still very impressed by the Baylor performance, I'm not taking that away from them because they CRUSHED them. Creighton just wasn't very good.

Kentucky impressed a lot yesterdee

 

[olympicoscar]

In order: Florida, Baylor, Virginia, Arizona, and Wisconsin. I picked Louisville to win, but would switch to Florida if a redo was possible.

they were getting attention until their losing streak during the middle of the season

 

[Runeman]

To add to my already impressive list of Wisconsin, MSU, and Florida wins; have to include Baylor for the beat down they laid on Creighton and Kentucky for beating a very good and gutsy Wichita St. team.

Beware the Evil Empire.

Kentucky starting to put it all together. The teamwork and hustle on defense yesterday was very impressive.
