Looks Like Michigan State Won't Win It All

All 5 talking heads on ESPN just picked Mich St to cut the nets down. That's gotta be a bad thing, or are they really that good now that they're healthy?

Yea that came out of nowhere

That was crazy..... I didn't see them in the B1G tourney with all their guys back. Are they that tough?

Just said the same thing when literally all five took MSU to win it all.

They were my pick but when I saw all the experts jumping on them I said woah

I think a lot of them early in the season convinced themselves of the "MSU is the best team when healthy" line and now are convinced they're the favorites since they're kind of healthy.

I liked them too, now I gotta think about picking them past the sweet 16

Watch Florida dominates this whole thing and we'll all look back and say "damn that pick should've been obvious"

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Such an impressive team.

They all had Michigan State/Louisville in the Elite 8
Watch one of those teams lose their first round game. Delaware and Manhattan are decent teams with good guards.

In 2010 I am pretty sure they were all in consensus that Kansas would be cutting down the nets and they lost to Northern Iowa
In 2012 pretty much all of them had Missouri advancing to the Final Four and they lost to Norfolk
Also this is a long time ago but in 2003 they were all bitching about an Arizona/Kentucky Final 4 matchup, saying they were the 2 best teams and should meet in the championship game. All the talking heads had those 2 in the Final Four and one of the two as their champ, neither made the Final 4

Plus if Kentucky gets past KSU and Witchita, they have already beaten Louisville once this year. The size of their guards gave Louisville a lot of problems.

When MSU is healthy and clicking like they are now they are scary good. Appling, Dawson and Payne missed a ton of games due to injury but they are all back now. They beat they frick out of Wiscy and mich this weekend. With that said, they are still beatable (as all teams are). You have to out-tough them and play 40 minutes balls out.

I'm thinking this happens to Louisville. Everyone is (rightfully) going crazy over their 4 seed but watch they get bounced before the sweet 16

To be fair Kentucky would have made it if Dwayne Wade wasn't so ridiculous. 29, 11, and 11

I also remember in 2005 they spent 2 whole segments breaking down the Duke vs. Syracuse Sweet 16 matchup. There was a lot of arguing and analyzing over that matchup and Dick Vitale was having an on-air orgasm over this matchup saying how excited he was for it
Syracuse lost in the first round to Vermont

In a year where things seem less predictable then ever it doesn't make much sense to me how everyone is basically ending up with the same couple of teams making runs
I think Digger's pick of Oklahoma State in the Finals was hilarious, but at least he thought outside the box

it's not strange at all. happens every year. so far, the sexy picks look like michigan state and louisville. and florida, but the overall 1 is reasonable.
im gonna try and be a bracket hipster and not pick any of these frickers

Oklahoma State is not that good, too much hype because of Marcus Smart
When they played here in Fort Worth against TCU I was not impressed at all. We hung with them for 32 minutes before running out of gas but they are poorly coached and because of that I think they lose to Gonzaga.
Every year there is a good first round matchup where all the experts are automatically picking one team to win but that team always loses
In 2012 that matchup was Memphis-St. Louis. Everyone had Memphis but Saint Louis won
Last year that matchup was NC State-Temple, no one had Temple and they won
