Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 Do my eyes deceive me? Are Big East teams actually winning games they should? It's about damn time. I think I had nearly every Big East team except Syracuse and WVU winning their first game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted March 17, 2006 I was surprised with how many people were taking 'Nova to win it all. Not that they're not a great team with their amazing guards... but, I wouldn't rely on that team winning 5 tough games in a row with their offensive philosophy and lack of inside presence.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 Watching this Nova/Monmouth game, it seems the whole Mon plan is to just shoot three's and cross fingers every trip down. They wasted like four chances by shooting three after three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 The 'Nova thing wasn't so much an endorsement of them as me not feeling like BC, OSU, Florida or G'Town were any better. Put them as the # 1 in any other bracket and I wouldn't have taken them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 I haven't been doing very well gambling so far. If Michigan State doesn't cover tonight, I'll have depleted the entire $320 that I set aside for the tournament. I could always deposit more, but I don't want to go too far overboard with this.

therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 That Nova game was the absolute drizzling shits. Especially with Nova channeling 2004 St. Joe's and taking tons of bad 3s instead of driving to the hoop where they're successful. They can't act like they have never seen a matchup zone defense before because Temple plays that defense all of the time and they did pretty well against them. Allan Ray at least looked pretty good despite the injury last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fairtoflair7 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 Guys, I'll say it again. Watch out for GW. They match up extremly well with Duke. If Duke wants to run wiht them they will get BLOWN out of the building by GW. If only Willians and JJ put up the offense like they have been doing for the past few games GW will win. Paulus is going to get manhandled by the trap. Watch this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 Duke/GW is the stand alone 1st game of the day. There's no way for JJ to hide when he's like 4 for 13 and the Blue Devils are down by 8 or more at the half. POPS POWER! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, I don't see how GW is going to stop Redick or Sheldon. After all, they were very lucky to beat UNCW, and their PG Goldberry was freaking terrified bringing the ball up court.

Stop being rational. In an attempt to answer your questions though, Shelden will get into foul trouble like always, and if JJ doesn't shoot the ball well GW could take them out. If need be, GW could send in some benchwarmer and throw a no look gonad punch to Redick since that seems to be a trendy thing to do this year. To answer Dama's question, because Pubes is white. White dude's hardly ever get T's even when they deserve them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 I think GW/Duke will be a good close game, but I can't see Duke losing it. I'd say something like 77-72 Devils. Wilmington shot the lights out to take it to OT, but I still think that the Colonials perimeter D looked vulnerable. If UNCW can make that many threes, I'd think that Redick, Melchion Still though, I think it's fair to say that GW got jobbed getting an 8 seed. They're the best mid-major in the country in front of higher-seeded Gonzaga and Nevada teams, and if they'd gotten a reasonable bracket, I think they could have made the Elite Eight.

Same with me and Ohio State. Got accepted there two years ago but couldn't go due to finances, though I still have a soft spot for them. Now I'm pulling for schools that I've been accepted/applying to, namely Nova, WVU, Mich State, and Syracuse, though the Cuse has already been eliminated.
