Official 2009 March Madness Tournament Thread

I remember a couple years ago (two?) when North Dakota State beat both Wisconsin and Marquette on the road. I think they still have a lot of those players on the team. They could be a tough team for Kansas, since Kansas typically folds in close games.

Yeah they beat Wiscy on the road when Wooside/Winkleman were a freshman,,,then beat Marquette on the road when they were Sophmores. Woodside is defiantely fun to watch, he is among the nations leaders in points and assists, their just really small.

my final four louisville unconn duke and unc

I have to say that this is the year to go with favorites, I'm sorry but I don't see too many low seeds making the sweet 16, some upsets in round one maybe but I'm leaning more towards the higher seeds as the quality of talent is heavy on the higher seeds this year.

[Hasselbeck]

My Final 4 is Louisville, Memphis, UNC and Pitt.

Basically I am with a lot of you in that I don't have many upsets this year. My lowest seed in the Sweet 16 is West Virginia.

I always like to pick one or two teams to make an elite eight run that are higher than a 4 seed. This year I got Texas advancing to the sweet 16 and West Virginia going all the way to the elite 8.

Honestly this thing is a big crapshoot, I mean you know the 1-3 seeds are going to do pretty well, but other than that its tough. I always love when people say you have no idea what you're talking about, they're right most people don't.


I hope it isn't like last year where all the 1 seeds made it, I like to see some surprise teams make the final four.

[spidey12293]

Right now my final four are Wake Forest, memphis, UNC, and Nova.

We agree on everything but USC. I have BC beating them.

[kmanharris]

same here.

[Yawkey Way]

seems that BC and MSU get together every year in the tourney, strange. I see BC beating USC, but losing to MSU. We match up well with USC, and it doesn't start with Rice. We have a really strong bench with Paris/Raji/Rocho/Jackson/Any of the big men, and Rakim Sanders has the potential to really take over a game. Joe Trapani is starting to become more of a force down low, and we all know how good tyrese rice is.
