Games of interest

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

That 4th #1 seed is completely up for grabs. Okay, Jamar, who does it go to?

KU, Virginia, Wisconsin, 5 others? Who knows? Yes, completely up for grabs.

[Shocks2005]

Syracuse is a joke.. Looking at their schedule I don't see many wins at this point in the season that are huge. The Baylor win was big when it happened, but since they have been exposed and that win isn't as big now. Nova is a good one, but they were in a race with CU for the title. They have 2-3 MORE games they should have lost but won on a miracle/dumb play by opposing teams.

Last but not least, their two NEARLY sub 150 RPI losses (including one sub 200+) is ridiculous that anyone could argue against the 31-0 record. College hasn't seen parity like this in decades. Those teams between 50-100 RPI are slaps like the "Power" schools want you to think.

How would you rank it?


Virginia (If they win both the ACC regular season and the ACC Tourney how could you keep them off)
Kansas (#1 SoS #2 RPI with 12 top 50 wins)
Nova (Only losses to top 11 RPI teams)
Wisconsin (9 top 50 wins #2 SoS)
Duke (#7 RPI, would need to win the ACC Tourney)
Michigan (#9 RPI, 8 top 50 wins, top of the BIG conference)
Creighton (If they win the conference tourney they would have beaten Nova 3 times, #8 RPI)
Syracuse (#11 RPI, 5 top 50 wins, would need to win the ACC Tourney)

Who else?

[Shocks2005]

The 4th #1 would have to go in my mind either Virginia, Nova, Duke, or Michigan. In that order. If they win their conference tournament they lock a #1 depending on what the others do. KU is just outside of that group with probably Wisconsin. They would need all four that I said before to lose fairly early in their tournament and paired up with a KU finals or win of tournament (same with Wisconsin). And the others CU and SU I think need everyone to lose and them to win out.. It is quite the jumbled mess.

I hate to say it, but you're ALL wrong.

They've got 4stars coming in. Coach McDermott has a long track record of winning conference championships and post season runs. He also has success "at that level" previously and has shown an ability to not only recruit but develop talent, again, "at that level". The kind of athletes that are generally successful "at that level" have been knocking down the doors to attend private schools in Omaha, NE for YEARS, and Greg has finally opened it for them. The continuation of deep NCAA runs is all but assured north of us. I for one, am jealous.

My meter went so far to the right, I now gotta take it in for repair.

I wasnt aware he had another son.

Who else?

If UNC wins Saturday vs Duke and then wins the ACCT... that would be about 16 in a row. Not likely to happen though.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

UNC is nowhere close to sniffing a #1 seed, regardless how they finish the year.

My bad.

It's actually Grant Gibbs' son.

The third oldest.

LOL

But I will say that I wouldn't be surprised if they win 2 or 3 games in the tourney this year. I think they could have a run in them (finally).

I believe your avatar shows the degree of shock and awe HCGM has at the size of your sarcasm meter.

[HenryMuto]

Anyone else see that SMU block just now ? Wow

[another shocker]

God both my Kentucky and Ohio State teams have no half court offense at all pure garbage both these teams could be one and done and then I will be rooting for teams like Xavier, Wichita State, VCU, Green Bay, Belmont, North Dakota State, Davidson, Florida Gulf Coast, Creighton, Harvard, Middle Tennessee, NC Central, Vermont, Iona, Toledo, Stephen F Austin, Georgia State, Gonzaga type teams

you lump wichita state in with those teams?

why do you frequent this board? are you taking that sports illustrated cover dare and trying to jinx the shockers?

Looks to me like the good teams that are not in the BCS leagues.

I think you miss his point. Take a look at his avatar, then take a little longer look at the other teams he'll be rooting for. Non-Big 5 teams that will most likely make the Dance.

I don't question his choice of 4 favorite teams, including Kentucky and Ohio St. He does not talk them up here. @HenryMuto: started following our Shockers after our game with Cleveland St and has stuck around ever since. I also believes he watches a ton of college basketball, can present a different viewpoint, always respectful to our Shockers, and a welcomed guest.
