Stupid mid-majors take way too many NCAA bids! What the fuck are Northern Iowa and UAB doing in this tournament? Maryland or Notre Dame would dominate those conferences.

I really don't get how you can leave out 1) a team who went 9-7 in the conference with the most bids, who also beat an undefeated team; and 2) a team who swept the two teams in the ACC Tournament Final(GT and Dook) and had a top 15 SOS.

It's bullshit.

for Wake Forest Chris Paul's the main guy....will be a top PG in NBA when he enters....for some reason I see him having some impact on league as Mike Bibby....fringe All-Star PG....

I dunno much about the rest of the team....they got a pretty decent SG in Justin Gray....they've got a tank in Eric Williams who is like 6'8" and like 285lbs....don't really know the others....probably role players....not sure....someone should fill you in....

and a note to all you other guys....come on, join the NLSC Bracket....I have....I've got a few wildcards going through but I can not reveal them....I'm probably one of the few to pick the Champion that I have pick I'd say.... :D

so which is going to be the unofficial NLSC college bracket pool? i'm guessing any of the free sites don't have a limit on how many can join. let's get this organized!

whoever's running it, please provide a link! thanks

Nate Robinson is my second favorite player in the NCAA. Amazing vertical! :shock:

that's not a bad idea. i still don't like the idea of conference tournaments

maybe just have one round of games instead of 2 rounds....so no home-and-away series in conference play....so one year they play away, next year at home....I dunno....

as for the guy with 2 entries, it will feel twice as good when I beat both his entries :lol:

Utah beat UTEP! 60-54... our man Bogut scored 23! Marc Jackson scored a jumper with 40 seconds remaining... to snap a tied score. Awesome!

I like them, good outside shooting team, it works for Seattle. I also thought Kennedy Winston might actually do something. Do you know anything about the NCAA not named Bogut or did you just post because GOAT did?

I don't really rmember my bracket and I haven't looked at them enough to know who's in which division thing, but I think that whoever wins the upcoming GT/Lousville game will win Al-b-que and advance to the Final Four.
