Glad that won't happen!

Good call 🙄

[Newsdreams]

We should have scouts everywhere.  Especially Sudan, Nigeria, Senegal, Mali....etc. 

WTF LOL

[MuggsyB]

The Zips/Red Hawks game is going down to the wire.   

[MU82]

Good call 🙄

Ooh, ya got me.

It's incredible that Scoop has been around for all these years and that's the first prediction ever that didn't work out. You must be 1,000 for 1,000 for sure.

[MuggsyB]

Zippy in the dance.  I didn't know Groce and Steele are brothers. 

[MuggsyB]

Good call 🙄

We all know how excited you are.  Stop attacking people that support Marquette.

Absolutely brutal choke from Miami.  8 points in the last 11 minutes.  Had a bunch of chances to put it away and couldn't.

Regardless, pretty amazing turn around from Travis Steele in just a few years.  He's doing a nice job there and returns everyone next year.

The Anteaters are all business early. 

[Billy Hoyle]

The Anteaters are all business early. 

And now it's all Tritons.

UCDS is not a 12 or 13 seed a high major wants to be paired up against in the first round.

[MuggsyB]

Both teams are pretty damn good. 

[Billy Hoyle]

Both teams are pretty damn good. 

Both should be in the Tourney over UNC, Indiana, Ohio State, etc.

[GoldenEagles03]

A lot of bracketologists seem to be aligning with the 9 seeds.

We can't play Georgia, so

Mississippi State
New Mexico
Baylor

Pick your poison!

[MuggsyB]

Both should be in the Tourney over UNC, Indiana, Ohio State, etc.

Agreed.  Personally I would put both of these teams in along with VCU and George Mason.  Why?  It makes the early rounds more exciting.

We won't be an 8. 6 or 7.

[GoldenEagles03]

We won't be an 8. 6 or 7.

That seems to be a hope and a prayer at this point, but I'd take it!

Oklahoma is another team in the 9 range I'm seeing. Creighton as well, but obviously cannot play them either.

Do you even know what that was about?

And you call it an "attack" when you rib someone who says unconditionally that something won't happen and then it does.

[MuggsyB]

Gray has been huge for UCSD.  D2 transfer. 

[MuggsyB]

Do you even know what that was about?

Yes.

[wisblue]

Yes.

And, what do you think I'm really excited about? You'd probably be wrong.

[MuggsyB]

He wrote UW wouldn't beat Mich St.  Unless I'm missing something.

[MuggsyB]

The espn analyst might want to consider that you're not winning down 11, other team with the ball, under 2 mins.

I am hoping for New Mexico or Utah St, personally.

[GoldenEagles03]

I am hoping for New Mexico or Utah St, personally.

I'd be fine with Utah State. Donovan Dent makes me a little nervous, but at the end of the day Marquette is a step up in competition from what those 2 teams are used to, so I'd be ok with it.

[wisblue]

He wrote UW wouldn't beat Mich St.  Unless I'm missing something.

Why would I be so excited about that?

I was just reacting to an unconditional statement that something wouldn't happen when it, in fact, did happen. It wasn't stated as a prediction.

MSU was a 3 point favorite over Wisconsin, so the Badgers winning was hardly an unimaginably unlikely event.

Not a big deal, and MU82 doesn't need you to defend him, especially with the implication that I don't support MU. My comment was hardly  an "attack".

[MUDPT]

Nice of the Terps defense to part like the Red Sea.

That was a really clever play. Burnett shows first to draw the defense there and then Maryland had to play catch up the rest of the way down the court.
