I play with that guy in the Monday night old man game. 2 inch vertical. Great interior passer. Pads his rebounding stats by missing layups so he can get the offensive board and put it back.
I actually had Miss St going on an elite 8 run, because I also believe UNC is begging to get picked off early
I don’t even put it past Wagner to make it interesting against them today…
They were 8-10 in their own Conference. Two wins over Tennessee apparently got them in. Don’t see much else.
Jack please don’t predict I will live long enough to see Johnnies in Final 4
Tennessee essentially gave them the win at the SEC tournament too. Didn’t even show up
Meanwhile we had to go through buzzsaw UConn, while these other teams celebrate “big wins” over overrated teams. It all disgusts me. This tournament coulda used some Dannis
I won’t LOL. I am snake bit when it comes to the bracket. A couple of my highlights: picking Georgetown to win the whole thing the year they lost to FGCU. Picked Purdue to win LAST YEAR and they lost to FDU.Jack please don’t predict I will live long enough to see Johnnies in Final 4
I consistently pick awful brackets so now I’m just going to pick UConn to win every year and hope I end up wrong
Miss St. I am not sure what to make of them. They are clumsy on offense. Skill level is iffy. This is a gift matchup for Izzo.
This makes me worried about my Tennessee pick winning a couple.
For those interested in how the Big East does - Creighton v Akron about to tip off on TNT.
Akron's Enrique Freeman should be an interesting matchup for the Bluejays, despite having Kalkbrenner their defense never scared me this year

I call that last one a “David Jones.”
Freeman is profiled in today's New York Times...not recruited by anyone...walked on...then grew four inches and became a stud.
They could end the half with 14 minutes left and Creighton would be up 2 and Akron tied with Virginia!
