MafiaMan Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 NDSU gets a #12 spot and Oklahoma gets the #5...Digger Phelps has already called 'upset alert'. How about the Wichita State/Michigan/Duke/Louisville region of death? Sheesh. Any surprises? What are your picks? Who's gonna take home the title?

SWSiouxMN Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 SMU got the shaft, they should have been in. NC State shouldn't have gotten a bid. Wichita State got shafted big time, they have to run through Kentucky, Louisville, Duke, Michigan, Saint Louis just to get to the final 4. Bison have a good shot of knocking off Oklahoma.

UND92,96 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 SMU got the shaft, they should have been in. NC State shouldn't have gotten a bid. Wichita State got shafted big time, they have to run through Kentucky, Louisville, Duke, Michigan, Saint Louis just to get to the final 4. Bison have a good shot of knocking off Oklahoma. That seems to be a popular sentiment, and I understand it to an extent given the history of 12's vs. 5's, but NDSU hasn't beaten anybody with an RPI of higher than 67 this year, and OU is at 25, so it's going to probably take their best game, plus an off game by the Sooners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 FU won't be outsized as Oklahoma only plays about 3 forwards they will roll 5 guards that are pretty good so Braugn will have to defend as well as score. All in all it's a good matchup. Bjorkland could have a good day and as usual will be key to FUs chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxbow6 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Louisville a #4 seed? Seriously!?!? The Shockers got bent over with their bracket. NDSU will stay within 10...for a half...then it gets ugly. Aztecs... sleeper alert! Virginia is as weak of #1 seed there has been in awhile. Sparty is the sexy pick but I like Arizona to cut the nets down.

SWSiouxMN Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I hate the fact that Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery doesn't call NCAA games anymore. Whenever those two called games, you know something crazy was going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I hate the fact that Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery doesn't call NCAA games anymore. Whenever those two called games, you know something crazy was going to happen. Xavier v. K-State in the Swee 16 was one of the best tournament games of all time. And the reason for that (besides being a great game played on the court) was that Gus Johnson called the game. He was great!! Every shot that went in he made a huge shot. "Got it"!!!!
