Best Sweet 16 Matchups

[sep]

1. UCLA v.s. Gonzaga--Battle for the west coast. This might be a battle for future supremacy of the region. If Gonzaga does win then it helps to show their program will be a contender in the future.

2. Villanova v.s. Boston College--BC's slow down style of play could screw up the tempo that Villanova tries to force.

3. Duke v.s. LSU--a lot of people are picking LSU in the upset here. The Williams/Davis matchup could decide the winner. Somebody's getting in foul trouble, probably Davis.

4. UCONN v.s. Washington--If UCONN doesn't step up their game then Washington is very capable of beating them. UCONN is still the most talented team left but they've looked very beatable so far.

I dont know about yall but Im going to watch the George Mason vs Witchta State game, and Texas vs West Virginia

[ChisAto]

yeah Sep, the George Mason Wichita State should be good. However, the winner is gonna lose to UConn anyways

Let's go Huskies, Blue Devils, Longhorns, and Eagles, my Final Four teams.

[longhornfaithful]

Thats impossible since Duke, and Texas are in the same bracket. Your forgot the Memphis bracket whos final teams are Gonzaga, UCLA, Memphis, and Bradley.

Too bad Duke and Texas are in the same region

[ChisAto]

my bad, I wasn't thinking. I forgot i have Texas losing to DUke in the Elite Eight. It's Duke, UConn, BC, and UCLA
happy?

UConn has been embarressing thus far in the tournament, and that's why I've got $20 on Wichita State in the final four.

Seriously, how many times am I going to have a chance to make that bet with guys? Probably never again.

UConn have won after playing sloppy games. I feel they'll probably step it up when they need to, as they have all year and at least make the Final Four.

Also I have LSU in the upset. I'm going on the weakness in Duke I witnessed against UNC and FSU. Keep a man on Redick all game and use your bigs inside to get Williams in foul trouble. It's not just Davis down low for LSU, he has Tasmin Mitchell and Tyrus Thomas to help out on the low block. Duke has not see a team with three very strong big guys down low. On top of that, Williams won't be able to just bully the big baby down low. I do think he's stronger but it's hard to push that much of a man around inside.

Hence, LSU wins but it won't be easy.

This guy's Final Four: Texas, UCLA, UConn, and Boston College.

Here's to a great Sweet 16!

I'll be paying attention to the GMU-WSU game, personally. It guarantees a 10 or lower seed in the Elite Eight, and I bet the winner of that game can give UConn a run for their money.

UCLA's a sleeper. They don't jump out at you, because they don't have that bonafide "star", but a good group of really good players, including Afflalo and Farmar. Plus Ben Howland is a top coach.

It dosen't guarantee a 10 seed or lower, because Wichita State is a 7 seed. but your right about either team should give UConn a run for it's money before they wake up. I agree with your UCLA comment as well.
