NCAA Tournament Discussion Thread
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
I don’t have a for certain team that will win it. Arizona does look tough but I think they lost a key player. I don’t think teams like Iowa and VT can sustain what they did in their conference tournaments. Auburn seems to be fading and Tennessee look good but not sure Barnes can win it all. Duke can be beat, Baylor is down a player as well. The three teams that I enjoyed watching this year was Texas Tech, Illinois and Purdue. But all three can be beat. That’s why I am cringing about the kitties. If Gonzaga folds again, kitties have a favorable bracket in
My opinion. At least there’s quite a few teams capable of beating them.

My Final 4
Gonzaga
Kentucky
Arizona
Wisconsin
Gonzaga over Arizona in the final.
Also, I’d like to see Louisville bid on the First Four, take it from Dayton. Dayton Arena is a dump, or at least it was when I was in it a few years ago. I’d like to see UofL host it at the KFC Yum! Center or Bellarmine host it at Freedom Hall. I think It would be good for the city.

They just started phase 1 of a 72 million dollar upgrade of Dayton Arena. Contract runs out this year but pretty sure a new contract will be made. Dayton has been host since 2011.
They cited 4 main reasons and Louisville would certainly meet at least 3 of those. The main difference they cited to me was that they liked the smaller town feeling of Dayton.For some unknown reason Dayton has it locked up. I'd like to know why.
Although it’s not the same it’s like do you take the CWS from Omaha and move it to Kansas City?
I'm betting going to be one of those Butler type teams championship game. Not 1 completge overall team whom ever gets lucky at the right time.
Cracked me up. The Big 10+4 Champ already flamed out.
Coach Hothead and his hothead sons can go back home and shuck some corn.
Basically, it comes down to fans in the seats. They fill UD Arena regardless of who is playing. Folks in the Miami Valley don't seem to care who is playing.For some unknown reason Dayton has it locked up. I'd like to know why.
reminds of 82 when UK got beat by Middle Tennessee and the dream game had to wait a year
Florida just hired the coach from San Francisco. Let that sink in a little bit; those guys were royalty 15 years ago. The guy will no doubt be in over his head and will get fired in 3 years.
FIghting ACC Hubert Davis's up double digits at the half over the great Big 12 Drews
Sweetie, dear…there was stuffing coming out of the half seats, the toilets/urinals were abysmal, the floors were sticky, 4 banners were half fallen off the wall, the concession stands were cramped and understaffed, the parking lot was half gravel, need I go on? I would hope they would have that fixed by now…….. Moron.

Florida has taken the cheaper, mid-major rout in basketball and football for a few years now. What happened to all that SEC $$$$?
Murry will roll them St.Peter will (peter out) from big win emotions
Hint hint the better team will Race away with this one. St P is only good for one and then they are done.
Maybe their Pres, and BOT have decided to de-emphasize athletics?
Spend all that extra scoobee on academics?
Nah….they don’t want to be one of those academic schools.
You’re right - Drew’s a terrible coach and never should have even been considered. Your posts through the years show you to be the ultimate fair weather fan.
We all hope Payne is a rockstar - if not, it’ll be interesting to see if you turn on him (as is your history) or, simply disappear like a fart in the wind…
Going with Murray. I'll root for the program from my native state.
