(sigh)....madness so far......lets keep it up.....onto the Southwest....
#1 KANSAS vs. #16 BOSTON U
Peeps are loving KU. Rock chalk Jay-hizz-awk!!!!! The top 2 choices for Tourney Champ is Ohio State and the Jayhawks! One thing about KU is that the Morris Twins are deadly, but as Slider says, they're another example of "Action Potential".....the Morris Twins are all-or-none!!! When the twins are "none" they are getting muscled around by opposing big men. The twins are like Dave Adolph in the batters box, THEY HATE CONTACT! When the Twins are "All" then they do so by getting off to a good start! As a hockey school, BU could pound KU into the boards. Or could they?
Another thing with KU is their guards. I've never been confident with the reliance on Brady Morningstar as a psudo-PG/Shooting guard.
But by my performance stats....the doubt in KU bodes well for KU and KU fan.
#8 UNLV vs. #9 ILLINOIS
Hate hate hate Illinois! The Insanity Report drank the kool-aid on the Sick Belly Buttons earlier in November. Pre-season Previews had the Illini with killer big men and a suppsed all-world guard in Demetri McCamey. The thing is, is he is more of a chucker than George Costanza.
Big men, Mike Tisdale and Mike Davis are two Stay-Pufts in the paint. They are o-fer vs. matchups against teams that have bruising forwards in the blocks. Tisdale and Davis feed off each other and off of McCamey when they have room off of the short corner for high-lows or dribble drives from McLamey.
On principle, I'm NOT taking Illinois. They killed me ATS all year! Eff them! So that bodes well for those of you that picked Illinois! Match up wise, UNLV have no bruising big men, so that bodes well for the Stay Puft brothers.
#5 VANDERBILT vs. #12 RICHMOND
Rich-whaaaaatttt!?!?!? Richmond!!!! Nice last second play Vandy!?!!? Brutal play and brutal shot to try to tie it at the buzzer. Way to take away from the Buzzer Beater mojo we've been lucky enough to witness thus far!
#4 LOUISVILLE vs. #13 MOREHEAD STATE
Best T-Shirt in the Madness.....Hottie Blond behind the Morehead State bench in a timeout with a T-shirt saying, "I (heart) Morehead". I bet!
Madness-wise, we have our #12 vs #13 match up in the 2nd round!!!!!
#6 GEORGETOWN vs. #11 VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH
Georgetown have no big men threats. They rely on their 3 guards, Austin Freeman, Chris Wright and Jason Clark for all their scoring. Freeman can light it up when he's on though.
#3 PURDUE vs. #14 ST PETERS
Know nothing on the Boilermakers at this point. Big ups on their resiliency throughout the whole season when they lost Robbie Hummel to his 38th torn ACL. E'Twaun Moore and JuJuan Johnson not only led the Big Ten in hyphenated and weirdly capitalized names, but also in domination! But now Purdue suspends PG Kelsey Barlow a couple days before the Madness!?!?!? What's the deal with Ovaltine!?!?!? Confusing!
#7 TEXAS A&M vs. #10 FLORIDA STATE
Flip a coin. Only intel is FSU lost their main guy Chris Singleton 1-2 weeks back with a broken paw. Rumor has it, he may be back. FSU prides themselves on a killer defense and points-per-game average on D. With the uncertainty with Singleton, we're staying away. Flip your coin.
#2 NOTRE DAME vs. #15 AKRON
Notre Dame has George Costanza, eerrrrr I mean Tyler Hansborough Jr chucking shots up like he's Slider/J-Paq/Adolph at Finnies!!!! He makes alot though, but this is still a one dimensional approach by the Fighting Irish. There is something to be said about their senior laden line-up as well.
Akron? They'll continue their bad year with losing Lebron and losing badly to the Fighting Irish.
