The rest of us are just playing to be beaten down by the Huskies in the last game.

UConn shot 3/21 from 3 last night and were not even remotely threatened. That would be a death sentence for most anyone else.

Sure does. Anything can happen in the tournament. They're clearly the favorite though.

SDSU just completely dominated Yale so I wouldn't count them out.

While I agree that UConn may very well win it all, didn't Creighton beat them earlier in the year by over 20+ points?

I picked them, but you do understand they didn't play a seed in last years tournament above a 5 seed right? They aren't this MEGATRON TEAM.

Why does it matter what seed they beat last year?

Yes, Creighton beat them at home by 19..

making 14 of 28 three point shots.. well above their 36% average

and holding UConn to 3 out of 16.. well below their 37% average

so it's possible to beat them.. but it's going to take the perfect game..

Houston & Purdue have the best chances imo..

I picked HOU over UConn in the title..UConn is definitely a monster for sure but repeating is still difficult.

Because if they had played higher seeds would they have wone the title last year? We will never know. No one will ever get that lucky again, They beat Texas & UNC by 10 this year, but lost to Kansas, their OOC schedule overall is usually filled with a bunch of cream puffs. The Big East is an OK league buts it not one of the top 3.

Its a lot harder when you have to play better teams

They beat Iona (13) St. Mary's (5) Arkansas (8) an overrated Gonzaga (3) Miami (5) and San Diego St. (5)

No one will ever see that team as great because they beat no one basically. If they play higher seeds this year and win they will be seen in a different light. Maybe you do not get that thought process, but I do.

People said the same shite about Donovans teams at UF and lower seed opponents in their tourney runs. They can't control any of that.

Perhaps those higher seeds should have done a better job.
