BET Thread

Sorry, I typed wrong. I don't have twitter.

It's actually used by FS1, the "Soul of College Hoops". Gato heard that from me, I wish people actually heard that from FS1, but everyone should use it. Just like when Bill Walton says the Pac-12, Conference of Champions!

Halftime
Xavier 35 Georgetown 26

Xavier just has Georgetown's number this year.

Xavier cannot stop Smith when he is in the game. Of cousre, Smith has been aided by the officials. Ran over a Xavier guy and got an and 1--worst call I have seen this season, and that is saying something. Watch Smith and officiating in the second half.

Guy was inside the arc. No love there.

Georgetown just doesn't look good tonight. Smith-Rivera and Trawrick are invisible and nobody can hit a jump shot.

Yep, just look slow tonight like MU did yesterday.

10-0 run by Georgetown.

G'town on a 10-0 run and close to within 10. It's a game now.

54-48 Xavier. 15 to 1 run by Georgetown

2 point game with 20 seconds to go.

Villanova a 7.5 point favorite. Games at 7pm.

Jay Wright needs to get a new suit...:rolleyes:

Gus Johnson sounds under the weather or something.

Halftime
Villanova 34 Xavier 21

Xavier just looking outmatched. Nova is really good. I can pretty much guarantee they'll be my pick out of the East Regional.

A Nova / UVA E8 match up could be interesting though.

I think UVa will maintain a 1-seed. Only 3 losses, worst is #16 Louisville. I'd guess...

Midwest - 1) Kentucky, 2) Kansas
East - 1) Villanova, 2) Duke
South - 1) Virginia, 2) Gonzaga
West - 1) Wisconsin, 2) Arizona

If Michigan State upsets Wisconsin, drop Bucky to 2 in the Midwest, bump Duke up to 1 in the West, Kansas goes to 2 in the East.

I can't see Wisconsin losing the first weekend.

Matchups...always about matchups in one and done. We shall see. Unlikely, but you never know. Bucky stil misses Brust who was its microwave...

I can. This year's Big Ten is just so weak. Maryland is the only other legit team in the conference and Bucky couldn't beat them. Getting to the Sweet 16 will likely mean beating a better team than any they've beat since November.

Kaminsky is awfully good. Decker has improved. Gasser makes tough shots when they need it, ala Brust. If they are a 1 seed, I don't see an 8 beating them. I don't see a 7 beating them. I wish their fans and coach weren't asses. This could be a fun team to watch otherwise.

There isn't a 8 or 9 seed out there that is likely going to beat Wisconsin. Ohio State, Michigan State and Iowa are all projected as 8 seeds or better. Wisconsin beat all three.

I think a team like Providence (a likely 7 seed) could give UW problems. Big, physical, and athletic teams give Bucky problems (like Georgetown did earlier). Being well coached also helps and Cooley is a good coach.

Butler would give Wisconsin a heck of a game. But I don't see them losing until the Elite Eight.

I think St John's would give them a good half. They'd get destroyed in the second, though.

STJ is the exact kind of team that WI destroys. Undisciplined teams are no match for Bo and his team. Butler might match up better, but don't have the skills to beat them.

Wisconsin will make the Final Four. Any other result would be a disappointing season for them.:D

That was the reverse...SJU gave them a good game in the second after getting blitzed in the first. The Johnnies could play with Wisconsin for a bit, just no way I think they'd beat them over 40 ;)

or maybe not...

St. John's announces that center Chris Obekpa is suspended for two weeks. Ranked 5th nationally in blocks per game.

Better to lose as a 10/11 seed than risk being embarrassed by Kentucky as an 8/9?
