College basketball 2009-10 running thread No. 1

Favors has completely taken this game over. The Heels are hanging on right now, but it doesn't look good.

 

Notre Dame has won five games in a row playing a new style in which they stand with the ball just inside halfcourt until there's 12-15 seconds left. This strategy has them up 40-37 against Pitt with less than eight minutes to play in the game. This strategy is so incredibly boring and it makes me want to hurt Mike Brey.

 

Cal has a 5-foot-6 guard who drained one from halfway between halfcourt and the 3-pt. line as part of his big day. They also have a 7-ft.-plus reserve who affected several shots by Oregon today.
It may be a case of them not having played that many good teams this season.
Villanova's potential to win is something I believe in.
And A-QB, New Mexico got 20-something from the WAC player of the year and they have a few others who produce mightily. Being ranked so high, they will have easy opponents in the first two rounds.
Anyone's welcome to pick their own Sweet 16.
I've shown you 10, and they all look like locks to me.
I accidentally left out West Va.
That makes 11 locks.

 

As long as Stevie is still in ABQ the Lobos will be done the first weekend.

 

Is this Bizarro World at the ACC Tournament.

UVa arising from the dead to beat BC?
Miami wiping out a Wake Forest fading faster than snow at the equator?

I better hope so. Otherwise, NCSU will get drilled by Clemson.

 

A) Why did you quote me that way?
B) I don't know why I respond to you considering that you never do anything but spout poor platitudes with no facts involved.
C) Cal played Syracuse, Kansas, Ohio State and New Mexico and lost all those games.
D) Villanova has lost five of its past seven with its only wins against USF and Cinci.
E) Before the Big East Tournament, G'Town lost four of six, including a loss to RUTGERS.

So there, those are some facts about three teams you find to be locks. Want to back up your stance with anything more than platitudes.

 

You get off of Headbutt's account. NOW!

 

I'm no longer happy about being able to watch both of these games side-by-side.

 

Then again, the Jackets should give the Terps more of a game than Chapel Hill would have. Made sense, Headbutt.

 

Man, I stopped paying attention to Notre Dame halfway through the season. Now they're good? Huh.
