    Re: Midwest Region Discussion

    My question is, who on the St. Louis roster can stop Sim Bhuller? I don't remember them having that much size, and it's not easy to stop a guy that's 7'5".

      Wow, on CBS's expert picks brackets, 8/11 have Louisville winning it all with 10/11 having them making it to the championship game. I guess that makes my prediction that they lose to Missouri in the second round unpopular lol.

      Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but all it takes is for Siva to have one of his games where he turns it over a lot/the referees call him, Smith, and Hancock for hand-checking and they'll be in trouble.

      And if anyone can handle their pressure defense, it's Pressey and their guard-heavy team with a big man (Oriakhi) who's accustomed to Big East play.

        I was really looking forward to having Valpo upset a few folks on my bracket. Then I saw they drew Izzo in the first round, checked my calendar and it says March. Put the W in the Izzo column on my bracket.

          Anybody remember when the last time the Big East Tourney Champ actually won it all? Was it Uconn a few years ago? I'm always hesitant to pick their tourney champ to win it all and I didn't in this year's bracket either even though I really like their team.

              Pressey has been a turnover machine this year when facing pressure, and he is really the only true point guard on the team (Dixon getting kicked off the team was a HUGE blow).

              This guy knows what's up. Mizzou is talented but the mountain of late-game losses is in their heads now.

                Yeah I really liked the team earlier in the year but every time I have watched them of late they disappointed me. I picked Colorado State to beat them but I don't think either of those 2 teams will beat Louisville.

                  Yeah Mizzou can be compared to NC State. Extremely talented but they haven't been able to put it together this year. Wouldn't be surprised if they upset Louisville or lost to Colorado State by 15.....gotta love the tournament.

                    IF St. Mary's wins, I have them beating Memphis. If it's MTSU, I'll take Memphis. Other than that, I'm right there with you in the first round, though I'm taking neither.

                    Really hate that Oregon is a 12 seed. If they had have lost that game to UW, I wonder where they would have been seeded?

                      Yes, UConn in 2011. The final against Butler was one of the worst college basketball games ever. Butler was like 2/30 in the second half from the field.

                        Lethal bracket. Duke, Michigan State, St. Louis, and OSU are worthy of their seeds, Creighton probably should have been a #5 seed, and Missouri is rated 2-3 seeds too low.

                        Still have them coming out though.
