Vaden isn't that impressive to me, good shooter but isn't the athlete to play in the NBA. Has a solid future in Europe though.

Yeah, I'm a little biased to Vaden. When he put up 28 (I think) against UK in the 2nd half of our game this year it was just amazing. I've never seen anything like it, he was just flat out on fire... Hand in his face, two feet behind the line and he'd still nail it. Didn't show any inside game really, I figured that was what kept him out of any NBA talk.

Joined the yahoo thing, really feelin my bracket

Michael Beasley = Rasheed Wallace on roids. If MB continues to work on his game and stay focused, kids a special talent. And he's got more of an inside game/rebounding game than Rasheed does IMO. I think Rasheed is more perimeter oriented as well. But it's a pretty good comparison.

Anyone else have Cal St. Fullerton over Wisconsin?

Sucks for your bracket ;)

Come to think of it, I have all the Big 10 teams losing in the first round....

roidrunner · 03-19-2008, 11:49 PM

Yeah, you're not going to win your pool. Wisconsin most definitely will not lose, Michigan State won't be a 5-12 upset, Purdue won't lose to Baylor. Indiana is the only I see with a realistic shot of going out in the first round, but they should handle Arkansas with out much difficulty. Wisconsin will get at least to the Sweet Sixteen. Purdue I have over Xavier though that one's definitely understandable to have the other way around. Indiana and Michigan State should both be out in the second round.

Yes. Its just a hunch though, nothing really backing it up

PalmerToCJ · 03-20-2008, 12:07 AM

Hmmm... Hearing some interesting rumors about Kansas players, I'm just going to assume it's BS but if I get anything with actual substance to it I'll post up.

roidrunner · 03-20-2008, 12:08 AM

and these rumors would be????

if true that would hit them hard. all i can say is never bring your **** with you

thetedginnshow · 03-20-2008, 12:30 AM

Beasley's been compared to Sheed before and that's valid. I was actually watching the Cavs/Pistons game today to compare his foot speed to LeBron and Prince. He's actually just as fast as Prince, in my mind, so that settled any thoughts IMO of him being too slow for the 3. In comparison to Sheed though, he's relatively similar, but with his athleticism and lack of length, I'd still say he's closer to Melo than Sheed. He's really a unique prospect, though.

Can't wait for that game. After I go to the Pro Football HOF, I should be back right in time for opening tip-off.

First my bracket was crazy with UNC and Duke in the final, but now it's chalk-filled with KU and UCLA there. I was kind of disappointed when I saw my championship was the same as Chris McKendry's.

I actually have Michigan State losing. They are definitely a very talented team, but they have been so inconsistent this year, that I had to have them as one of my 5-12 upsets. I have the rest of the Big 10 teams winning though.

bearsfan_51 · 03-20-2008, 12:56 AM

Indiana could lose, hell they lost to Minnesota and we've got a bunch of junior varsity players.

sweetness34 · 03-20-2008, 01:17 AM

Arkansas is a tough, tough team and with the way IU has been playing as of late, I have them losing that game. Dakich has lost all control, Gordon is playing "me" ball, Thomas is fouling out in 2 minutes every game, Ellis is a loose cannon and has faded, and I don't think DJ really cares that much anymore.

IU is still a talented squad but if they don't get knocked out by Arkansas, they'll be ousted by UNC. I've got Purdue and Wisky making a run in this tourney, and MSU losing to Pitt in the 2nd Round. I don't like inconsistent teams come this time of year, and the Spartans are highly inconsistent. The ability to beat almost anyone, but also the ability to come out flat and be upset.

if rasheed gave two shits he would be so much more dominant. i agree though that beasley has more talent coming into the draft than wallace did. but i was just saying thats the best comparison i could really think of. really similar games. both can shoot and both have low post games

If that's true, I think I'm going to be sick...but it's most likely not

bsaza2358 · 03-20-2008, 08:35 AM

I doubt it's true. Would have been reported elsewhere. All this other stuff has no credibility.

M.O.T.H. · 03-20-2008, 08:39 AM

A lot of people are falling in love w/ my Arizona Wildcats. First, everyone was complaining that they even got in and now everyone is on the bandwagon. Tons of talent...anything is possible but, I even as a fan, are not sold on them going that deep in the tourny. This season has just been one huge disappointment, my expectations are quite low.

bsaza2358 · 03-20-2008, 08:48 AM

I don't think much of Oregon or Arizona. Arizona has a lot of talent, but I don't see them take advantage of it. Lute Olson as the coach right now might have changed my mind, but I'm not a fan of the current squad under the existing regime. I think they got in on "brand name", and they didn't rise to the occasion enough during the season. I have not picked them at all.

M.O.T.H. · 03-20-2008, 08:51 AM

I just wish my local boys would have made it. Then I would have gone.

bsaza2358 · 03-20-2008, 08:54 AM

Which ones? Tech?
