Here is the simulated Mock Bracket simulated by 20 of College Basketball's best writers/analysts.

1. seeds are Duke, Kansas, UCLA and Memphis. No surprise there. But a little bit of a surprise is that UNC is a 2 seed in the midwest bracket, rather than the east bracket which will have games in North Carolina for the first and second round.

Clemson goes 0-53 at Chapel Hill.

Way closer than it needed to be. Lawson needs to get healthy, but mercy, Hansbrough was a beast.

Apparently, I haven't been paying attention because I really did not expect to see Tennessee ranked that highly ...or Stanford ...or Butler.

 

[Fran]

Yeah, shocking.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Whew, looked like BC was going to try and be Pitt 2.0 but we pulled it out again. Looks to me like we're becoming for accustomed to the more physically oriented defenses.

Good deal.

 

[Immortalfire]

So, given that UGA's basketball program sucks (and always has for the most part) Like others do, I'm considering taking on another team to like in college b-ball.

Maybe, but not likely.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Meh, don't jump onto some bandwagon, stick with it.

Hell, who says you can't have more than one team to cheer for?

As a U-M fan, I hate MSU unconditionally in all things. Having said that, as a basketball guy, I have the utmost respect for the way they play. I also believe Tom Izzo is the best coach in college basketball over the last ten or so years. Immortalfire could do much worse.

I haven't been in this thread in a while, but I know Nova fell off, hard, but tonight's loss to the Hoyas was bull****. That was a horrible call at the end and no I'm not just sayin that because I wanted Nova to win, even the commentators were saying how horrible of a call it was. This game shouldn't have even been close but to lose like that sucked. **** Georgetown

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Yeah, I watched that game and it was a bizzare call. It was an exciting game but G-Town really didn't seem to be playing at their usual level.

 

[Fran]

Very tough week for the Spartans... tonight we face newly-ranked and Big Ten leader Purdue at Lafayette.

Saturday night, we go to Bloomington to face the Indiana Hoosiers.

I'm hoping for a split.

 

[dr venture]

Yeah, I watched that game and it was a bizzare call. It was an exciting game but G-Town really didn't seem to be playing at their usual level.

I realize that the game shouldn't have been close considering the way we have been playing lately but to be that close and like that just sucks

Man, I don't even think that was a bump really.

But I agree, it's a really bad way to lose a game.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Lotta people mad at my Hoyas right now for the win over Villinova last night (and granted they were times where they were throwing the game away), but a win is a win

Heh, had it gone the other way, you'd be pissed too.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

Tough game for MSU right now

 

[Fran]

Another loss... we NEED to win Saturday.

Is Kentucky just very young, or does Billy Gillespie just really suck?
