Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted February 25, 2003 #1. Seeds Arizona, Oklahoma, Florida, and Kentucky Player of the Year Candidates:Jason Gardner, Josh Howard, Carmelo Anthony There aren't alot of good road teams this year. In last weeks Top 5 only Arizona and Kentucky had good records on the road. The other 3 where below or around .500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted February 25, 2003 Texas Tech won today. I rejoiced. I honestly care more about the UCONN women basketball team than the men's NCAA basketball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted February 25, 2003 I wouldn't say Jason Gardner is in the Top 3 of Player of the Year candidates. I mean he's a great player, but he'll likely fall victim to the curse of having other outstanding teammates (Walton, Frye, Adams, Stoudamire, etc.). You have to carry your team, or at least be THE star on the team to win POY, and Gardner has too much support. So in that case, my candidates would be... Josh Howard, Wake Forest Hollis Price, Oklahoma David West, Xavier Brandin Knight, Pittsburgh Carmelo Anthony, Syracuse Mike Sweetney, Georgetown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted February 25, 2003 Well I am a Maryland fan. I predict them to get a #3 seed in the tourny but if they can win out, including at least getting to the championship game of the ACC tourny, then they can capture a #2 seed.

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted February 25, 2003 I don't necessarily think Gardner is a deserving candidate just that he's a SR. and will be probably get votes because of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Harry Hood Report post Posted February 25, 2003 Honestly in what I've seen the most outstanding player is Sweetney of Georgetown...so freakin' dominant. But...I wouldn't be dismayed if they gave it to Anthony... GO SYRACUSE!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted February 25, 2003 I also think Sweetney might be the best player in the country, but the fact that Georgetown is only 12-11 will hurt his chances. What do you all think of Louisville, though? Are they overrated, overachieving, or can they get to the Final Four? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2003 I like Hollis Price for Player of the Year, especially if Oklahoma wins the Big 12, as for Louisville, the way they've been getting beat lately, (20+, blowing big leads) makes me think they can't, but I have a feeling they have a big target on them in C-USA and can be more of the "hunters" in the NCAA's; 3 or 4 seed.

Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted March 3, 2003 What do you all think of Louisville, though? Are they overrated, overachieving, or can they get to the Final Four? I think they are overrated. It just seems like the typical Pitino post-UK crash-n-burn that's been happening ever since he left UK for the NBA. Of course, not having a true point guard isn't helpping matters, either. I don't see them getting no further than probably the Sweet 16 depending on the seed they get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fazzle Report post Posted March 3, 2003 Woo! Go UNCW! They clinched the regular season CAA title on Saturday, but that still won't mean shit unless they win the tourney this weekend. Just keep them away from Old Dominion(seriously? what the fuck?) and it should be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted March 4, 2003 Kentucky and Arizona have locked up #1. seeds. Duke blew it's chance at a #1 seed. How much of a factor should RPI come into play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted March 4, 2003 Did Texas Tech win tonight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fazzle Report post Posted March 4, 2003 Nope, they lost 65-56. UNCW won though, 60-49 over William & Mary. woo! Now just win the fucking tournament next weekend. Edit: Next weekend, this weekend. Whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted March 4, 2003 Nope, they lost 65-56. .... Um. They were screwed. Oh well. I always have my UCONN & Texas Tech women to cheer for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted March 4, 2003 Maryland has a game vs. Virginia on Sunday(hopefully it is on TV) and then the ACC tourny starts. They are capable of winning the ACC tourny, but at the same time they are also capable of losing in the first round. I hope they have a good showing so it can bump up their NCAA tourny bracket seed a notch or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bravesfan Report post Posted March 4, 2003 Even with Fresno's self-imposed sanctions, I've lost all of my faith in Hawaii (14-10, 7-9 WAC). If they can somehow make the Big Dance, I'll be content with their overall year. For a blatant plug on a Hawaii stand-out, get the newest ESPN:The Magazine (Ben Wallace on the cover) to read up on Hawaii's premier player, Carl English.
