If duke is a 3

We are in the easiest bracket hands down.

Agreed. It's not even close.

And we're in the east. Have to start working on tix for MSG.

 

[Spartan23MSU]

Wisc a 2 and Louisville a 4, a few of these seem way off to me.

Its MSU hoops, were supposed to be in the mix late in the tourney, anything else wouldnt be natural. We've still got or nemesis lurking right above us. Though I know we are more talented than UNC they play their best game of the year against us year after year.

It's a very winnable region but MSU is going to have to put their hard hats on and win some ugly games. Teams like Cincinnati, Villanova, and Virginia and not the most talented teams but all are tough and gritty and defend like crazy.

Exactly, low scoring ugly game isnt what i like to see. I like the full court game as opposed the grind it out low scoring hack fest.....

 

[Spartanmack]

That's the only thing that scares me - having to win a game mostly in half court. That's clearly been a weakness for us but if we can get an inside-out game going, we should be fine.

Well Delaware has 3 guys that average over 18ppg, averages 80ppg and launches a ton of 3s. And if we run into Iowa State down the road, they play it pretty wide open.

This is the most wide open tournament I can remember. I don't remember too many times where I've seen 4 and 5 seeds that are not only capable of the upset of the 1 seeds, but might actually be better teams in some cases.

I've never seen a 4 get picked by 4 of 5 espn analyst to win the nc....until now

Yeah, that scares me too. I've seen plenty of teams in the past blast through their conference tournaments and have a bunch of guys on ESPN talking about them as Final Four teams only to fall flat on their faces in the round of 32.

MSU is +500 to win the NC, Florida +450. Vegas has us 2nd to win it even after the "slide"

 

[Sbee]

Dickie v picks us as well

 

[Spartan23MSU]

5-5 HA! Expectations are higher than I would have never imagined. Id think 1 maybe 2 at most would pick us.
