Name a surprise team other than your own...

[Deep Creek]

1. Any team with great guard play that I'm not aware of. Great guard play seems to be the key to tourney success.
2.Cal
3.A&M

 

[jontaejones]

Well I couldnt... lol

Oh yea. The importance of reading form titles. Mentally noted...

 

[dcZONAfan]

LSU or California. Both going to have breakout years. Texas A&M as well.

Poor guy. This was his only post EVER on SportsHoopla. And it wasn't a very good one. A&M isn't anything special

Texas Tech

damn you picked mine! Texas Tech one I've seen the most of that comes to mind as surprising.

I guess Purdue would be my second pick.

Purdue was #23 in preseason and currently #20 AP poll. IDK if I would say they are surprising.

they were surprising to me- I had no clue what they were predicted to be.

last I could remember about them was a couple years ago, they were not good.

needless to say, I follow Big12 more closely than others, and the B1G not so much , other than MSU, Michigan and whoever goes to the NCAAs.

I just have to go on and admit I don't know shit about Purdue. For some reason, I noticed them this year...and they were doing better than I guess I have them ranked in my head.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Guess when I think of them, I remember the Gene Keady Boilermaker basketball team. They were pretty good in those days.

 

[huskers1217]

Gonzaga damn it



but they won't make it

 

[Codaxx]

I think there are just too many to count. This might be a year where no #1 seed makes the final 4. I can't remember a tournament that appeared more wide open than this year appears to be.

 

[trojanfight]

Monmouth. Those bench celebrations are something else

 

[GNG]

See @HammerDown I loved you guys preseason. It's because I'm a SEC homer

Wisconsin beat Iowa on their home court.

 

[GNG]

Wisconsin has beaten Maryland, Iowa, Indiana and Michigan State... Impressive.

Yep we are playing like shit the last few weeks. Hopefully they get it figured out before the B10 tourney starts

When you have three competent 7 footers it's hard to be bad. Their guard play is absolutely atrocious though.

IIRC, the history of March Madness has shown this is a formula for not making the Sweet Sixteen.

Don't sleep on Hawaii

Wisconsin

You better change your mind about that!

Evansville. I think they finish in sole possession of 2nd in the MVC and make the tournament as an at large team.

Well, they did finish 2nd in the Valley, but need to win tomorrow to get a bid. I was kind of half correct, I guess.
