people who pick their brackets based on basketball don't give a fuck how well people "playing the numbers" do.

cLaY Wrote:Not even close. THey were extremely tense on the offensive end. They over thought every possession. I thought it was pretty evident. Defensively, they looked pretty good. Kansas' A game would be what you saw against Texas. Don't think I've seen their offense click like that all year.

Carolina is no Davidson so playing them in the final four will be extremely stressful.Self has got to win this game to truly rid his choking reputation.I don't care that he made the final four,so did the coach of George Mason whatever his name is.

I'm picking Carolina strictly because Kansas might just be happy to be there.UNC just seems way stronger mentally.

Flumper Barflusterbutt Wrote:dude? I know your internet personna is to never back down, but seriously. You look like an idiot defending your position. You've seen me enter two March Madness competitions and finish "at" or "close" to the top both times. Neither one was luck. My method discounts luck altogether, that's why I use it. I don't go by the seeds, but unfortunately the seeds usually match up pretty close to how the bookies are booking the odds on the teams winning the tournament.

If a tournament ends without the number 1 seeds in the finals, I generally win anyway in these small pools. The guys like you that try to outguess the oddsmakers, hit more wrong than you do right every time. Now you get into a pool with 1000's of entries and the blind hog theory comes into play. I love you.

You pick the favorite.Nice going jimmy the greek.

I pick what the oddsmakers pick. If you want to challenge your ability to outperform that system, then be my guest. Oh, wait. You have. And you failed. I'll take your dumb ass on for the rest of your life betting like this. I love you.

If I remember correctly Davidson played Carolina to four points at the beginning of the season.

Keep coming up with more reasons to knock the guy. You faggot Duke fans do nothing but bitch.

Kansas being happy to be there has no bearing on the game. I would hope UNC feels the same since they got ousted by G-Town last year. UNC plays zero defense.

Being a number one seed and having to beat a 10 seed to get to the final four is not a clutch game.They should have beat Davidson and there would have been no excuse if they didnt.If he doesnt beat UNC he's still a choke artist.

I still don't see any predictions on Kansas winning but I'm sure you filled out at least one of your ten brackets that way.

Bird, I get it, you don't like Bill Self. That's fine. Keep hating on the guy rising as one of the elite coaches in basketball while your man is on a free fall watching all his recruits go else where now that ol' roy is in your conference. Not beating UNC means nothing. It means they lost in the Final Four. I think KU wins, I think they're are the better team, and so do many others.

I don't hate Self at all.He's not enough of a factor in college basketball to hate.

K was in the final four 4 years ago and is coaching the olympic team, what a free fall.

If KU was George Mason losing in the Final Four would be acceptable.Your attitude is exactly like the beaten dog response I was talking about.Your teams a #1 seed who was ranked #1 off and on during the season and just getting to the final four is good enough?If Self loses to UNC he's still got the choke artist reputation.I'm sorry I have to be the one to tell you that but someone has to shake you out of the mindset that just getting there is good enough.People who root for top tier teams don't accept second best.Eventually your team might get to that point.

Imagine smoking a joint costing you a trip to the final four.Calipari is running a NBDL franchise at Memphis.

Wow,

I'm glad they caught the only college basketball player that smokes marijuana. We wouldn't it to become an epidemic.

It is kind of ridiculous.They should test them before the tourney starts and thats it.Its not like these kids are convicts(yet).

And K was a factor? Only reason he's been of note lately is because of the dick sucking that school recieves from the heads at ESPN. He's been a non factor the last two years, hence in my opinion, his slide.

KU was never ranked one this year. In the five years Self's been coaching he's already the has the highest winning percentage of the 8 coaches who've been at KU. I believe this is the year. His first recruits are seniors this year. Its all about re-stocking from here on out........while Duke rebuilds.

Wow, 8...nice take. His team has been at the top all year long. He's a back up PG on his way to the final four. You'd think the hippy lettuce could wait 2 weeks, hence my take, I'm not surprised coming from Memphis. They're thugs.
