Yes.. 35 on bench

Michigan winning the Big Ten is pure luck. Michigan St. is clearly better but that’s why one and dones are so dangerous.

Yes.. 35 on bench

Crack jokes all you want but seriously, how would we matchup against two 7 footers who play 30 plus minutes a game?

I dont want to see FL or Mich in our bracket.

I think committee will try to put Creighton and Michigan on a collision course.

Run past them. Make them play our game. The same way we beat every team that was bigger than us.

Alabama, Auburn, Tenn and Florida are four GREAT teams.

The rest of the SEC.. eh. Texas A&M has talent, but they will be overseeded and depending on the matchup, are my sneaky pick to get upset in the first round.

Agree with this. Undoubtedly, hey are the best conference this year. But, not deserving of 14/16 bids. That is the product of artificially high # of "Quad 1" which the committee uses (except when they want to ignore it, ala NC).

We will see how vaunted they are. I am sure that they will do OK and have a number of Sweet 16 teams. That is just due to the #s. But, let's see how ultimately they do. Per the metrics, they should have 3 or 4 Final 4 teams. I think they could get that, but they could also get 1 or none (doubtful). The tourney will either buttress or unmask the metrics used to do the 14/16.

I have no pony in the race (well I guess I do in StJ) but I just think the goal should be to get the best field. There are a few runners up in 1 bid conferences that I think are better than some of these lower SEC and Big 10 teams, and of course NC this year.

Iona firing their coach two years in, after making their conference title game, is insane. Two years is nearly unheard of for any team, but St. John's has as many ranked withs since February (5) as Iona has in their entire history. Delusional program.

Must be more at Iona then meets the eye.

I am not drawing any conclusions at all about his future, but numbers were better than Walter Clayton as a freshman there.

12.4/2.8/4.2

In an interview a few weeks back RP made the point that the NCAA is all about matchups. He mentioned the there were 4 or so teams that would be bad matchups for the Johnnies.

While he wouldn’t name them, I immediately thought of Michigan solely based on the big guys.

Wow

What the hell happened there?
