We're set if we get a top 3 pick. Irving, Williams and Sullinger all look legit. I would even say Kemba Walker too.

Who do you have winning the game between Arizona and UCONN?

I'm thinking Arizona.

Kemba has been looking solid all season long, I think Irving or Walker is what this team needs.

Irving won't land to us....... but im fine with Bayless.

Sullinger woluld be nice but we just drafted ED and kind of jammed in those 4/5 ..

Derozen - SG
Williams - SF ??

Perry Jones will prob be the biggest sleeper of the lottery

I've watced Perry Jones a couple times, but both were against texas and in both he got dominated by Thompson. And walker is a great college player, but he's got ben gordon written all over him. Which many people like, but isnt a player id want as more than a 6th man.

Looks like two blowouts in the making

That Ohio state - Kentucky game made tye nba replacement refs look good. Just awful, awful officiating. Blowing the whistle on phantom calls and hiding them on complete muggings.

elite 8

Kansas is gonna tear that cinderella slipper off of VCU

which leaves Butler, for some reason I cant bet against them

TheRealDeal · Post #371 » by **TheRealDeal** » Sat Mar 26, 2011 7:32 pm

Florida will end Butler's run tonight. No back-to-back Final Four for them. Shelvin Mack will need to be on fire to keep the Bulldogs in it. I don't see the UF froncourt allowing Howard to dominate the way he has so far in the tourney. I think UConn will keep their mojo going by taking out Arizona in a close one. That game could go either way. I'm excited for the UNC-Kentucky game, should be spectacular. I'm leaning towards the Heels in that one which would set up a Harrison Barnes vs. Kemba Walker or Derrick Williams match-up in the Final Four. KU will handle VCU pretty easily imo.

My Final 4 matchups being..

Kansas vs. Florida

&

North Carolina vs. UConn

would love to see UNC vs. Kansas in the finals

whata dumb possession by Florida

no shot clock and you jack a 35 footer with 14 seconds?

Mr.Raptorsingh · Post #373 » by **Mr.Raptorsingh** » Sat Mar 26, 2011 11:00 pm

Damn, Butler is pretty good. A Final Four appearance for a second straight year after losing Hayward to the draft. It speaks to how good Brad Stevens really is. We could use him certainly..

they are a really fun team to watch... it seems like they defy the odds every time

Great game. Gotta love Butler.

Kaizen · Post #376 » by **Kaizen** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 7:05 pm

This VCU/Kansas game is crazy. VCU is up by 18 with 3:30 left in the 1st half.

Sizemore24 · Post #377 » by **Sizemore24** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 7:06 pm

VCU are shooting the lights out of this place.

The Tempo is so fast!!!!

I hope they can win it and face Butler in a crazy final 4 match-up

Kaizen · Post #378 » by **Kaizen** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 7:09 pm

I would actually be cheering for VCU but I want Kansas to move on to improve the odds that neither of Kentucky or UNC win.

Uconn will beat them:p

Butler is not a push-over at all.

TheRealDeal · Post #380 » by **TheRealDeal** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 7:26 pm

There were stretches this season where Butler was baaad. They have really stepped in up in the tournament. They should have lost to ODU in the 1st round, played great but got lucky at the end of the Pitt game and drew a great match-up with Wisconsin in the Sweet 16. Florida would've destroyed them if Shelvin Mack didn't light it up from 3 with 27 points. That's the thing about college ball, if you're hitting the 19 ft 3-pt shot then you can beat just about anyone. Brad Stevens is a great coach, Mac & Howard are great players but I don't think they're as good as the usual Final Four team. I really hope KU comes back so we don't have to see Butler or VCU in the finals. KU has been solid all year, I'd like to see them match up with Butler.
