NCAA March Madness Hard to Pick Games
Posted on 3/19/14 at 9:05 am
Posted on 3/19/14 at 9:05 am
So if anyone else wants to share which games they are having a hard time picking, post below.
Stephen F Austin vs VCU
---Going VCU because of competetion all year, but SFA definetly could win and mess up my bracket along with many others. Do we really know how good they are?
This is my main one.
Although Providence vs UNC is another one.

You should have both sFA and VCU losing to UCLA regardless..

VCU can definitely beat UCLA...

SFA has a lot of exp against teams like VCU. They beat NWST three times this year who play the exact same as VCU, maybe at a faster pace.
I like Providence over UNC

I like St.Joes over UConn for some reason.

JP Tokoto will wreak havoc on Bryce Cotton. UNC wins in a close game.

That just means they will know what to do in that situation. They looked like crap against Duke and for the most part against Pitt, but the whole team was in foul trouble against Pitt. I honestly think they ran out of steam down the stretch, Paige especially. They've had a week off, and I look for them to come out strong. If, and that's a big if, they can somehow get by Providence, and Iowa St, I really like their chances against Sparty, seeing as how Roy has owned Tom Izzo in the recent years.

Kentucky vs. Kansas State
In St. Louis.
Will be a home court crowd Advantage for UK, but will it be enough?

Some quick thoughts on games posted above
Really like Harvard to hang tough with CIncy(Cincy can be putrid on the offensive side of the ball)
New Mexico should handle Stanford with ease. They have the size, and athleticism to give Stanford problems, a la UCLA.
EVERYBODY is just assuming the Wichita St will play Kentucky in the 1-8/9 matchup. Not saying Kentucky won't win, but they will be in for a dogfight. Kansas St has freshman guard in Marcus Foster, that will wreak havoc on the Harrison twins. Only reason I give Kentucky the edge is the size advantage they will have.

Kentucky was underseeded.. I think, yes, UK will win. Calipari has never lost in the first round of the NCAAs (he's been as low as a 7 seed) and his PASE is simply ridiculous. I wouldn't bet against UK in the first round.
UK vs. W ST. is more interesting..

Not making the mistake this year of going with New Mexico or San Diego State. Every year they lose quick it seems

damn, didn't know this. Impressive.
I have feeling the Big Blue Nation takes over STL and UK beats a very untested Witchita State team. (If they get past K-State) WSU finds out what it's like a target on their back & UK's athletic ability might be too much for the Shockers.
Bruce Weber has been around the block and is a good coach. I just don't know much about the Big12 besides they got a bunch of teams in.

I trust Steve Fisher more..they did make the S16 in 2011 but they were 2 seed rather than a 4 this year..

Some interesting stats...Texas’s 47.3 effective field goal percentage is 247th in the country but they are 6th in offensive rebounding…
Oklahoma State ranks 287th in offensive rebounding rate and 214th in defensive rebounding rate…
Oklahoma State is 7-7 in games where Marcus Smart posts an offensive rating below his average
Baylor allows its opponents to shoot 36.7% from 3 so McDermott is going to go in dry.. (if they beat Nebraska)
Kansas’s 29.1% defensive rebounding rate (71st in the country) is going without Joel Embiid this weekend who ranks 12th in the nation in defensive rebounding rate
