I just have a weird feeling about Charleston somehow knocking off Bama. Could be incredibly wrong but this team is very deep and damn near knocked off San Diego State last season. Bama meanwhile hasn’t looked so hot lately and seems to be slowly dragging themselves along the way.

I’m sure there will be some crazy 2/15 loss again but I don’t see it this season

Cougs can't guard Sears - the Aussie gonna be in foul trouble if he's got the assignment - Bama is too long for The College too and will rebound their offensive glass at a high rate - Kelsey has a tough team but they can't score at the rate Bama will -

sneaky good game will be Morehead St knocking down lots of 3's - and sending the bigten tourney champ home day 1 -

Kobe Rogers will have that assignment. 6’11” James Scott will when Kobe is off the court. CofC is a bigger team than Bama so the second statement is absurd . Bama will have an issue with Anté inside.

Bama likely wins, but this will be a very close, very high scoring game.

charleston over bama and james madison over wisconsin, and samford over kansas are my only ones. i tried not to go upset heavy this year. i feel like theres always a few shockers in the first round every year but for the most part the cream eventually rises to the top. last year was an outlier with a 4, 5, 5, and 9 being the final 4.

Tennessee is a one trick pony and will go as far as Knecht takes them, which could prove to be nowhere.

It's a popular pick. Both teams like to shoot a lot of threes. If Bama is cold, it could spell upset. Charleston is also on a winning streak. Bama has lost 4 of their last 6.

Devil's advocate. Both teams are trying to do the same thing on offense, and Bama is doing it with better players.

I have a mess in the West bracket, with Grand Canyon, Charleston, New Mexico, and Dayton all advancing. Also, have Moo State knocking off UNC in the second round.

then Estrada/Griffin would be a worse cover for Smith than Sears - athletically/physically - Smith can't be in foul trouble or the Cougs offense stalls badly -

hard to imagine a 6'11" big chasing Sears around the offensive half court when Rogers is off the court - ?

Oats will let Whale Branch boy Pringle and the hired meathead Wague will use all 10 of their fouls to push Brozvic around for 40 minutes - Nelson will be on either of the 6'7" forwards -

the 'too long' will be when Bama has Nelson & Walters on the court at the same time - court will be too spread out for CofC - and Estrada/Griffin are relentless on the offensive glass while the opponents bigs are out covering the 3 -

I hope The College pulls it off - but they haven't faced an attack that puts the defense in help position the way Oats does with every pass & dribble -

You could apply this faulty logic to every team in the field.

No one knows what's going to happen. Chill out.

Nick Pringle not making the trip will help significantly

Then they beat the shite out of Tenn the best team in the sec. I have them losing to michigan state round 1 but i dont feel good about it. State has a legit defense and if Hubbard gets hot they're a tough out
