Re: Pfeifere1's Coaching Legacy (Ch2k8)

Pitt vs. Marquette could be an interesting game. Looks like Pitt could have a good chance at making the Elite Eight. Indiana might pose a problem for them. Surprised to see Bama with a #2 seed! Also, gotta love the Zags getting a #1 seed. They always get screwed in seeding but when you go 29-4 its hard not to get the #1. (It's weird to see Duquesne on the bubble watch!)

UNC with 11 losses in the top 5? That doesn't sound right. Sometimes they make teams like UNC overranked

Loved seeing UC Riverside get in on the Bubble. 2 teams from the Big West and 2 teams from the WCC. West Coast basketball representing....

Marquette had been in and out of the top 25 all year and recently just fell out, but that would be a very good matchup. I don't think Indiana would be able to stop them if it comes to that. Alabama had a really great year, I'll have to look more into their wins v. top 50 RPI to get a better feel for them though. We'll see how the Zags do in the tournament...hopefully they are deserving of that #1 seed! UNC was a weird one for me too. Most of the year they were ahead of Duke and almost always had a significantly worse record. I have to look closer at their losses and who they were against. I feel for Duke going out West...and I'm a Duke *****! (but respect them) Not going to be easy for them.

VERY shocked to see UC Riverside get the at-large bid. I didn't expect that whatsoever. Gotta love the parity though! We'll see how well they do in the tournament now...they have to prove they deserved the bid!

Re: Pfeifere1's Coaching Legacy (Ch2k8)

Also a big fan of seeing Gonzaga as a #1 seed. I think they had the potential to get it in real life had they not lost to BYU on Senior night.

I agree 100%. This is their best team in my eyes and besides Kentucky (and now the way Duke is playing, them too) there are no locks for a 1 seed. It would have been the perfect year for them to grab a #1.

Re: Pfeifere1's Coaching Legacy (Ch2k8)

Are you using 07 rosters or are you using updated ones?

[pfeifere1]

Re: Pfeifere1's Coaching Legacy (Ch2k8)

I can't remember when they are from, but I believe the '11-'12 season. It's the only roster I have on my system.

I wish the 2k share was still up and running.

I wish my Dynasty was as good as yours. Any update on the recruiting class?

Keep on truckin' with yours. It's a great start!

As far as my recruiting class, I'll post after the NCAA and NIT tournaments are over for 2 reasons...

1. I'll post my season recap then as well.
2. It's not impressive whatsoever...
