Voin sanoa, ettÀ ncaa-kohdalla tÀmÀ oli 2. suurimpi alue Dukes alueen jÀlkeen. Tarkoittaa sitÀ, mitÀ se on tarpeeksi. He antoivat ensimmÀistÀ 1. kohdalla ja ensimmÀistÀ 1. kohdalla erilaisia alueita. Luulen, ettÀ tÀmÀ on yksi pientÀ paikasta, jossa voi nÀhdÀ 6-11-kohdallisuutta. En sano, ettÀ se on vain North Carolina ja me olemme heidÀn vastaan. Luulen, ettÀ kun katsotaan 5-12 ja 6-11-kohdallisuudet, niitÀ paikkoja, joissa tavallisesti nÀhdÀÀn suurimmat kohdallisuudet,
The five and the six seeds just feel so much stronger this year than they have in the past because of the sort of top-down nature of the game. It's going to be a lot harder to get an upset of that magnitude, one that we might see
on VCU yli YNC, kuten tiedÀmme Caleb Wilsonin tilanteesta. Ja VCU, toisin sanoen, on iso ero yliopiston mid-majorin VCU-yhtiöiden kanssa, jotka sopivat A10-yhtiöissÀ, eivÀtkÀ niitÀ, joita kÀytetÀÀn yleensÀ 11 ja 12-yhtiöissÀ. En usko, ettÀ YNC oli iloinen heidÀn tehtÀvÀnsÀ, kun he katsoivat VCU toisella puolella. Donald, missÀ olet yliopistossa?
Minun mielestÀni Michiganin nÀkökulmasta tÀytyy ajatella, ettÀ on vaikea valmistaa Michiganin kaksi pÀivÀnÀ koulutukseen, kun heillÀ on niitÀ kolme isoa koulutusta, jotka ovat niin erityisiÀ koulutuksessa tÀnÀÀn.
Mietin, ettÀ Michigan ei ollut onnellista, kun he katsoivat, ettÀ St. Louis on heidÀn viikonloppuun. Olemme puhuneet ja puhuneet, miten vaikeaa St. Louis on, kun katsotaan muutaman viikon aikaa myöhemmin. He pysyivÀt loppuun ensimmÀisenÀ viikonloppuna. He pysyivÀt konferenssiturvallisuudessaan. He ovat yksi tiimi, joka laittaa paljon kolmea ja sopii vahvasti.
Those are the things that make an upset. And oh, by the way, the thing that Michigan has struggled with in most of their losses this year has been bigs that can take shots out on the perimeter and drag someone like Ademara out. Robbie Avila is the textbook case of someone who can do that. If St. Louis gets past
Georgia, josta puhutaan viimeisenÀ viimeisenÀ viimeisenÀ viimeisenÀ viimeisenÀ viimeisenÀ viimeisenÀ viimeisenÀ.
Ei ole aivan niin vaikeaa. Jos katsotaan vahvaa Texas Tech-teamia, niin se on ehkÀ 5-12-jÀrjestelmÀ, koska kaikki nÀmÀ onnistuivat. Ja taas, alkuperÀisessÀ rakennuksessa, me olemme nÀhneet Virginiaa, me olemme nÀhneet, kuinka vahva he ovat. Me olemme nÀhneet, ettÀ Iowa State nÀyttÀÀ hyvÀltÀ Big 12-jÀrjestelmÀllÀ. Mutta nÀmÀ ovat kaksi teemaa, joilla en ole varma, miten he sopivat Michiganin yksityiskohtaisesti, erityisesti yli 8-jÀrjestelmÀllÀ.
Olen vain sanonut, ettÀ en ole ollut sinne, jotta voisin rauhoittaa AACC-vaihtoehtoamme aiemmin. Jos haluat kÀsitystÀ siitÀ, kuinka mahtava koulutusjohtaja John Shire oli, katsokaa Michiganin kokemuksia viime viikkoja ilman L.J. Kaysen, ilman heidÀn takapointipuoltaan, joka pelasi 15 minuutin 20 minuuttia.
It really has thrown the roles and the rotation of Michigan off. You've seen Elliot Cadot sort of struggling, forcing, taking a lot of shots that he's normally not taking because they sort of put LJ Kasen in when they need a more offensive scoring-minded point guard. Everything about Michigan that was a well-oiled machine a month ago, there's been a friend in LJ Kasen going out. So the mere fact that Duke was able to do what they did
With two starters gone, let alone a backup point guard. I mean, just John Shire. Did they vote for coach of the year before the conference tournaments or not? Because if they waited to vote for him and he doesn't win it, then it's even more of a crime.
Are we going to do final four? Should we do final four picks or not? What do you think? No, yes, no. I'll shoot from the hip, final four picks? Sure, why not? All right, you said it, you do it first. Okay, and again, as I mentioned, I have not done my normal bracket analysis like I have for the first, you know, 35 non-child adult years of my life.
I'm going Duke from the East. I'm sticking with my gut and going to say Arkansas from the West. I'm going to say Michigan from the Midwest because otherwise the man who paid for my ticket to go see the Michigan Duke game might disown me. And then I can't not pick Houston given their route, especially going home. So I'm going Duke, Arkansas, Michigan, Houston. Donald?
He'll be sleeping in their own beds, and that kind of stuff does matter. So that's what I got. Last word, Scott. I will say, I'm not sure how much you guys talked about this, but the Iowa State-Arizona game this weekend, what a freaking basketball game. What an end to a basketball game.
I am very glad that we did not get Iowa State in our bracket, because I don't want Milan Montilovic anywhere near the court when we're playing against them, because that guy can shoot. He is automatic, regardless of how covered he is. That's not someone you want to see. So if we're complaining about our bracket for the next 24 hours, I'm very happy that that guy is literally on the opposite corner of the bracket from us.
Olisin vain sanonut, ettÀ yleensÀ yleensÀ on mielenkiintoista, ettÀ viime viikolla oli mielenkiintoinen subplotti, ettÀ kuka olisi ensimmÀinen yliopistossa yhdessÀ yhdessÀ yhdessÀ yhdessÀ yhdessÀ. YhdessÀ yhdessÀ yhdessÀ yhdessÀ yhdessÀ.
They had something like 10 more Q1 wins than UConn did. A little interesting that they went with the shiny undefeated record, and let's be honest, the name brand of UConn is the number one overall seed against the team that by pretty much every metric...
How is the women's game continues to sort of equilibrate as, you know, teams start catching up to those top group? How is the women's game going to adjust how it builds its bracket? Is that going to start looking more and more like the men's where, hey, Yukon has to schedule a little bit different where they sort of get the Gonzaga treatment or something like that? Interesting subplot as the women's basketball, NCAA women's basketball continues to grow like it has been over the last few years.
I've seen every Michigan game that hasn't been directly competing with a Duke game or on the West Coast because the Big Ten is idiotic, just like the ACC.
It's final four level prices for this game.
