why the fuck not

1. texas
2. uconn
3. gonzaga
4. memphis


outsiders:

5. duke
6. michigan state
7. villanova
8. kentucky

11/24/2005 2:08:14 AM

it'd be awesome if gonzaga really made it

11/24/2005 2:15:12 AM

1. UConn
2. Michigan State
3. Louisville
4. NCSU, seriously I like Oklahoma this year

This year I think is wide open

11/24/2005 2:15:25 AM

yeah this year is way more open than any year in recent memory, a lot of teams seem to be really young

that's why i posted 8 picks, i wouldn't be surprised if only 2 of those 8 make it though

11/24/2005 2:19:01 AM

1.uconn-when they get williams they are the best team in the nation. too much size. great d great o good bench. the perfect team

2.duke- not as physical and athletic as uconn and maybe not as good defensivly. if 1 or 2 guys can come around ( out of paulus nelson mcrobterts) and can elevate to their potential duke will cut down the nets. jj and sheldon are the two best players on the same team.

3.texas-not 1 or 2 because i question the guard play after gibson and playing together as a team (esp d)

4.nova- may struggle during the season but when they get sumpter they will be a force. if they get some hot shooting in the tourney they will cut down the nets
the only four teams that are dominant all around

outsiders:
kentucky only has a shot if they get morris back

gonzaga if they can keep consistent play out of a 4th guy

michigan state if nietzle can come around and become a great leader they are up there with the top 4

oklahomas the type of solid team that could sneak in if a powerhouse in if they got an easy road, complete team but they have nothing amazing like the top 4 have

if wvu can stay hot for 4 games like they did last year they will be in indy

memphis is not a great team. they are too young and inexpirienced and playing in the cusa surely wont help them with that come march. they have a great future though.

11/24/2005 2:42:03 AM

Considering I have only watched half of these teams named here I say is too early to call. I seriously doubt Duke will reach the final four, they can't rebound worth a crap. You put them againts Uconn and they have serious problems. I say too early I think these predictions should be placed whenever you have the 64 teams in place.

[Edited on November 24, 2005 at 4:25 AM. Reason : yup]

11/24/2005 4:24:41 AM

i will tell you when the brackets come out

but however, in advance

definately not gonzaga
not uconn
not memphis
absolutely not michigan state

the duke pick is safe, i like texas, i always like kentucky, and villanova is a sexy pick

Texas
Oklahoma St
UConn
Arizona (I know they lost)

11/24/2005 11:55:35 AM

We'll be close... we got a good squad this year. A lot better than people think.

11/24/2005 12:01:04 PM

arizona will never go far without loads of talent. lute olsen doesnt run offense. (and he also doesnt tell his players how many timeouts are left)

anybody would have trouble rebounding against uconn. duke is one of the better rebounding teams in the nation.

11/24/2005 12:56:11 PM

Gonzaga or Texas
UCONN
DUKE
Memphis

yeah i said it, memphis

"Oklahoma St"

You mean just plain Oklahoma I hope. State lost everything but Curry.

11/24/2005 1:27:35 PM

I actually meant OSU, as my sleeper. They had an amazing recruiting class, and will be good enough to make the tournament. By the time March comes around, the freshmen will have gelled and Curry and his boys will be able to beat anyone.

It's not my preseason top 4 or anything, how often do the preseason top teams actually make the final 4?
