re: What Sweet 16 games are you most excited for?

UCLA-Kentucky
Gonzaga-West Virginia
Florida-Wisconsin
Arizon-Xavier

I love how every single year Wisconsin gets shite on for having a boring style of play. Yet they continue to make runs. Honeslty it was funniest when they were the 1 seed a couple years back and made the national championship and people were still saying it. Even thought their offense was incredible that year

UCLA-Kentucky is a final four matchup in the Sweet-16.

You rarely ever get that so early. Fox and Ball will be a matchup worth paying big $$$ to see.

Kentucky is the better defensive team, but do not have the best player. If Fox and Briscoe can't limit Ball's impact on the game they won't win. Adebayo will destroy the thin bigs for UCLA and they should get easy looks at the basket, but Ball will attempt to make it a fast-paced high scoring affair.

The real treat is Josh Jackson. Kid is the best prospect I've seen since Lebron and Melo. Tell me he can't be a super-star?? Kid can do it all. 6'8 too? Draft class is stacked.

You sure about that?

Monk could drop 30 without even trying with the way UCLA has played defense at times this year.

Jackson is great but he can't shoot for shite right now

1. UK v UCLA
2. Kansas v Purdue
3. Gonz vs WVU
4. Wisc vs Fla

Those should be the top 4 unless an upset happens

Just reading the Wisconsin forums, you would think UF is no better than a 15 seed.

Where are you reading this? Just did a quick scan of topics on the three major Wisconsin forums (Scout, 247, Buckyville) and I am not seeing a whole lot of what you're alluding to.

Great. I'll strap myself in for a fricking nailbiter.

I've been on buckyville a decent amount this morning. Didn't see much of that either. But maybe he's trying to manufacture some outrage to, you know, get the ole chili hot.

From Buckyville.

First post:
Oatesy was a guest host with Lucas on Lucas and Dawson, 1070 am. One of the two mentioned that Vandy beat the Gators all three times. 68-66 . 73-71. 72-62


First couple responses:

- On the Florida board, they are reporting that Wisconsin lost to Iowa in Madison.

- Two games decided by two points and one game decided in overtime.

I'd say I'm unconvinced that Florida is some super-vulnerable team because they lost to an pretty decent team three times by an extremely slim margin each time.

- They also just curb stomped Virginia --- I'd say they are pretty good.

- They are now #3 in Kenpom. I have not seem them much except for the game they dismantled Kentucky at home. I did not want to see any more to determine the Badgers would have a very tough game against them. Certainly winnable but a very tough game.

That's just the first 4 responses.

There were some people, though, who said they'd rather face Florida, simply because Virginia plays, and therefore knows, a similar style.
