College Basketball 09

Shine Dude · 02-10-2009, 10:17 PM

Well since their really wasn't a college basketball thread where I could brag about how awsome that Mizzou-KU game was, I'll just make one.

MIZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU

**Crazyswordsman** · 02-11-2009, 05:51 PM

I made a thread awhile back. -CSM

Shine Dude · 02-11-2009, 06:38 PM

Oh didn't see that. So you a Michigan hoops fan too?

**Crazyswordsman** · 02-11-2009, 07:28 PM

^I'm a fan of Michigan hoops, and Syracuse, Maryland, and Georgia hoops. I hate Georgetown and Duke, and most west coast teams.

I also hate that Memphis and Kansas are ranked higher than Syracuse; even though their records are better, and Syracuse beat them, they didn't play in the Big East. -CSM

Shine Dude · 02-16-2009, 04:09 PM

Oh yeeea. Mizzou is now ranked number 10.

Both have higher RPI, more quality wins, better what have you done for me lately, etc.

Shine Dude · 02-24-2009, 05:30 PM

Well Oklahoma showed they are average without Blake Griffin.

Eagle Eye · 02-26-2009, 03:24 PM

Memphis @ UAB, 8 PM CST, ESPN2 tonight!

**Crazyswordsman** · 02-26-2009, 06:32 PM

^That's 9:00 for those of us living in the correct time zone

Shine Dude · 03-01-2009, 04:51 PM

Hey, I didn't know Mike Anderson used to be UABs coach.

**Crazyswordsman** · 03-09-2009, 08:47 PM

I'll try to do this:

Big East:

Louisville, Pitt, UConn, Nova, Marquette, Syracuse, West Virginia, Providence

ACC:

UNC, Duke, Clemson, Wake, FSU, Boston College

SEC:

LSU, Tennessee

Big Ten:

Sparty, Illinois, Purdue, OSU, Wisconsin, PSU, Michigan, Minnesota

Big XII:

Kansas, Mizzou, Oklahoma, Okie State, Texas A&M, Texas

Pac-10:

Washington, UCLA, Azzou, Cal, Arizona

MWC:

Utah, BYU, UNLV, New Mexico

A-10:

Xavier, Dayton

WCC:

Gonzaga, SMC (edit: SMC is out now that they got their ass whooped by Gonzaga and Cleveland State stole a bid away)

Horizon:

Butler, Cleveland State

All other conferences get one bid (South Carolina, Auburn, SMC, or Florida could possibly take Providence's place). -CSM

SpaceNose · 03-10-2009, 05:13 PM

I hope Indiana University gets in (I live near campus) Who cares if they are terrible this year...

**Crazyswordsman** · 03-10-2009, 08:21 PM

^Funny how IU and Iowa are the only two teams in the Big Ten not to be talked about still this year....like it or not, the Big Ten is deep. Mind it really has no juggernauts outside of Sparty, but it's probably what you would describe as "bottom-light." -CSM

**Marchie** · 03-10-2009, 08:24 PM

Davidson's out to you hm?

**Crazyswordsman** · 03-10-2009, 08:43 PM

^Davidson spiraled downhill at the end of the year and then lost in the semis of its conference tournament to...runner up College of Charleston. No Davidson this year. Look for Siena to be that team. -CSM

**Marchie** · 03-11-2009, 08:03 PM

Watch them put in Davidson just because of last year. I'll lol.

But yeah, good point.

Shine Dude · 03-12-2009, 01:47 PM

What about Kansas State?

**Crazyswordsman** · 03-12-2009, 08:05 PM

I don't know; I haven't seen them play. They have the record to be in, but their RPI is an abysmal 77, and their SOS is even worse (116!) If Syracuse didn't deserve to be in 2 years ago, K-State deserves even less so this year. At least South Carolina is in the RPI top 50 (although their SOS still sucks; blame the crap-for-ball SEC). Auburn has both a better RPI and SOS (still bad though).

As of right now, Providence, Arizona, and UNLV are all out of my bracket, and SDSU, South Carolina, and Temple are in. -CSM

Panfan · 03-20-2010, 06:59 PM

since this thread is still stickied i'll just use this for this year's tournament.

so... anybody still have their final four now? if you are, you're a ****ing bitch
