Thoughts on Saturday's NCAA Tournament Games

I knew the lack of upsets would benefit the entertainment value of the tournament in the long run. And oh man, was I ever right.

 

 

(1) Buckeyes vs. (9) X. My predictions were sorta off today, but most of the losing teams did what I said they could. Xavier played exactly how I said they would play. I thought Oden should have received the intentional foul to end the game, but I AM kinda biased against Ohio State. Those Xavier kids should hold their heads up high, they left it all out on the court.

 

(3) Texas A&M vs. (6) Cardinals. Here's my prediction.

 

However, I really underestimated the early start time and the Louisville press. I think A&M has enough athletes to break it, so they win. CLOSE.

 

Haha, I win lolz. That Sosa kid choked away the game, but honestly...he was due to miss those freethrows. You shoot a low percentage for a reason, nobody should expect you to make 17 out of 17 from the line. You're going to miss eventually. Again, nothing to be ashamed of. A&M survived two big scares. That's good experience for the regional finals.

 

(2) FUCLA vs. (7) Indiana. Another good prediction, to the T. Indiana didn't have the talent that PITT possesses. They'll give those Bruins a game. Really boring game, sorta figured that it would be.

 

(3) Wazoo vs. (6) Vandy. I get Vanderbilt now, but Wazoo played like I thought they would on Friday.

 

(1) North Carolina vs. (9) Sparta. I had no chance to watch this game thanks to the UCLA game being on, and the fact that CBS only switched coverage once for like 5 seconds. Can't say.

 

(2) Hoyas vs. (7) BC. Same as above. Score looks exactly like I figured it would. Not enough athletes from BC.

 

(4) Terps vs. (5) Butler. The theory worked. YES!1!!!!1! Truth be told, I didn't like Maryland's seeding from step 1. They got hot before the tournament, but that doesn't make them a good team. The committee takes "getting hot before the tourney" way too much into consideration when seeding teams. Hell, USC shouldn't have got a 5 seed.

 

(3) SHIT Panthers vs. (11) VCU. I thought that this was the best game of the day. How often do you see 19 point comebacks against teams that play the style that Pitt does. Never. I'm glad the Rams aren't going to play UCLA, they would get pasted.

 

 

I did pretty good on the brackets. Same song and dance on teh blog for tomorrow, maybe a little more.
