Have a weird feeling pigs will win it all.

Think they are a better team than they are given credit for.

I’d say that’s the best case scenario too. SEC wins. Gumps don’t get too cocky.

I got em in my bracket and I tried not to be a homer-

BUT, Muss and the guys are prepping for a 2 game weekend already- Baylor and Oral Roberts. We'll be READY ready. Hell, I bet we play better than this weekend. We played bad and won twice. I think we play out of our minds against Baylor. Arkansas is this year's Texas Tech.

I feel like they’re inconsistent at times. But they do have a relatively easy road.

Agree. They look dominant right now. Vegas gives them 7th best odds of remaining teams.

No doubt they’re a great team, but shite, they’re a 3 seed.

How under-ranked could they be?

The zags are going to run through this field like a knife through butter.

They will beat Oral Roberts because their coach is not going to blow it. Baylor is another issue..they are good.

Most pre-tournament rankings I’ve seen didn’t even have them top 10.

They’ve played poorly recently, but they’ve found ways to win in both games so far. IMO, basketball is one of those sports where an extremely close win can be more impressive than a blow out. Winning in the last seconds of the game requires a lot of grit, and I like the odds of a team that’s experienced that in the tourney.

I disagree. If somebody can frustrate them until halftime they can beat them.

They haven't lost. If you make them question their confidence, they will fold.

The Zags and Baylor are straight up better than us. We could beat them but we would have to play some of the best ball we have all year. Unlikely we can do that twice in 4 games.

The way things have gone, we may not have to.

You may not have to. Baylor has to get through an upset risk to make it to you.

It's not like we are immune to the upset bug either. I'm not nearly as comfortable about ORU as most of my fellow hog fans.

ORU is going to come out on fire. They have all the confidence in the world right now and they are going to really ay up the whole "we're not scared of them" card, as they should.

It's going to be a close game and hopefully Arkansas can pull away at the end of the game like they tend to do.

Baylor, though, is another animal. Yes, Okie Lite beat them and we almost beat Okie Lite... But still. Having to go through Baylor and then the Zags seems like too steep of a hill to climb.

Let's just hope Bama can knock off Gonzaga and then let the chips fall where they may.

If Bama starts shooting like they did in January they can beat anyone, and last night was a very good sign. Rain down shots like they did vs LSU and it won't matter if they have Gonzaga on their shirts they will lose that night.

Barnburner game coming up. If FSU can get the Michigan jinx off their back. Watching Leonard Hamilton’s Defense against Bama is going to be something. FSU is tallest team in the field. They go 10 deep, can play aggressive, give up some fouls. Bama probably wins, but still will be a helluva game. But Michigan.

If we ever made it to Gonzaga......IF. They are way to big for us down low.

I think Williams could handle Timme just fine. It's their guards I would be worried about. Devo can only guard one at a time.

Unless they just completely lay an egg, hard to see anyone beating Gonzaga. They just have too many pieces and are too well coached.

I really don’t think so. I think Baylor gets us. Then again, it’s not completely out of the question. We have a chance.
