Title: NCAA March Madness 2015
Post by: GM Franchise on March 14, 2015, 02:15:08 PM
March Madness is about to begin. Any predictions for top seeds in the tournament or do you have any dark horse teams that you think could make some noise if they get into the tournament?

#1s: Kentucky (obviously), Duke, Wisconsin, Arizona (though Virginia might hold onto one for winning ACC Regular season)

Sleepers: Stephen F Austin, Wofford, Valparaiso from small schools.... Hard for me to call teams from major conferences sleepers...

That's been LSU all year, lol. Sometimes they play like Tarzan, and sometimes they play like Jane. And they're not above switching back and forth between those roles during games.

Still goaltending if it's not going in but it can hit the rim. Call is a non factor because sum still had 2 shits to win the game.

In accordance to the rules, it was the right call on the court.

Ironic, considering that's what I give about UCLA.

Sorry your call could not be completed. I only pick up after 112 rings

Funny how you always have all these rings yet never actually put one on and get married.  Always the bridesmaid, never the bride... :P

Seriously though UCLA hasn't been relevant since like 1994 and before that since like the 70s.  Good thing there's an actual team that could win it all (Arizona) in the Pac 12.  :P

Must be blocking out those three staright final four years and a finals appearance beginning in 2006. I take full credit for ruining Adam Morrisons pro career.

Arizona barely gas 4 final fours overall and only 1 lonely title

Yeah I pretend most of the mid 2000s never happened just on general principle.

And although they don't have as much of the storied titles and final fours as UCLA it's about the tournament going on now, not tournaments from ten years ago.  Arizona's got a decent chance of at the least making the final four if not winning it all.  UCLA might play spoiler for another round, maybe two at the most.

That's what everyone says about any cinderella that makes a run... then before you know it... they get to the E8... then the F4.

Most of those cinderellas turn to pumpkins.  Only 3 other 11 seeds have made the final four, the last in 2006 ironically.  I don't think UCLA will be the 4th.

Thank you Badgers... don't have to listen to anymore undefeated talk leading up to the Championship game.

Duke/Wiscy... who ya'll got?

I'm gonna take the hot hand and side with the Badgers.

Duke.

Figures the year I don't pick them to win it all that they probably will lol

I'm going with Wisconsin. Also I heard the sound of millions of brackets crumbling into oblivion earlier. They are the reason for that so I'm going with them for that reason.
