    Michigan's defense is horrid this year, their like water vapor at times. Nick S. is the worst of the bunch.
    So we can lose to anyone rather easily.

    Tennessee is a good team that could surprise anyone at times, like most this year.

    I would trade Syracuse's defense (which is awesome) for your offense any day….

    Some of you may have seen this already but it has been going around on my news feed on Facebook so I figured I'd share. There's a lot of stories about athletes forming bonds with kids that are sick and I never get tired of them. More reason to cheer for Mich St. outside of picking them in my bracket for National Champs haha.

    I don't see Michigan mopping the floor with UT. UT has been playing well the last 8 games. I think Stokes and Maymon will give them fits on the boards. UM's defense isn't a world beater and man to man defense gives their offense troubles. UT mainly runs man to man and I believe it'll slow down the UM offense. I do think Michigan wins, but I think it'll be a close one.

    Who's talking trash about Kentucky now? We beat a team that was 35-0 shot over 55% and hit 10 3s. #BBN

    But don't get over confident. They can come out next game and shoot 30% from the field, have 20 turnovers and shoot 1 of 15 from 3.

    But let's hope they've turned the corner and closed that page on that book.

    Wasn't trying to come off cocky. Just stating some facts. Friday is going to be insane here in louisville and I can not wait!!! Had a chance at decent seats for $66 and I'd rather be here in town. I just hope for a good game and hope there are no shootings!!

    I am just going to state some facts here.

    "Tourney time is up tempo basketball... Wisconsins offense is rated like 278th when it comes to pace.... They regularly score in the 50s. In no way did they (or Nova) deserve a 2 seed.

    Not saying they aren't capable of going on a run, but both teams are grossly over seeded and that is usually a good indicator for early upsets."

    Elite 8


    Scoring in the 50's? pffffft.
    So far Wisconsin has scored 75 points, 85 points, 69 points in the tourney. And you were wrong about them scoring in the 50's all season too.

    Hey, I agreed with you. :tu: Was watching the first half last night and was amazed out how well they moved the ball around. Crisp passes and a good defense.

    I have them in the Final Four, going to be a good game to watch.

    My Final Four teams are still in it, but the rest of my bracket looks pretty rough. Looking forward to the Kentucky/Louisville game.

    If UT and UK pull off the wins tonight, that'd make the SEC 10-0 in Tourney...

    I'm incredibly hyped for tonight already, and it's still 10 hours until tip off.

    Just how mad is Georgia right now? Finished ahead of UT in the SEC and don't get in.

    Please.... Wisconsin is definitely a good team, but a string of 3 good tourney games doesn't validate that they've been some elite team all season. Exhibit A... Dayton. Heck, Exhibit B... Kentucky.

    Wisconsin very well could win this whole thing, it doesn't change the fact that they are consistently in the bottom 25% of ALL D-1 teams for offensive tempo. Most years that catches up with teams like this in the tourney. Time will tell if this is their year though.

    T Minus 8 hrs til tip off! To end the Cardinals season would almost be as sweet as making the elite 8 in the first place.
