The countdown has begun until the greatest day of the year, Selection Sunday.

For fun, let's get some predictions for the top four seeds?

UNC
UCONN
Pitt
Oklahoma

Any other predictions, throw 'em out there.

UNC Duke UConn Oklahoma.

[tarheelpride]

UNC (overall one seed; will win ACC regular season and tourney BUT we need to play defense)
Marquette (I think they can POSSIBLY knock off UCONN...if not, replace with Pitt)
Xavier...long shot but might as well/Oklahoma (safer bet)
UCONN (still get one regardless)

for fun #2's

Clemson (replace w/ Duke if they fall off)
Pitt
Xavier/Oklahoma (most likely Xavier)
Utah State (wildcard0

UNC - (Lets face it they could lose 2 more and people would still give them a #1 just because they are UNC) (South)

UCONN (Will get the #1 overall) (EAST)

PITT (MIDWEST)

OKLAHOMA (Should run the table in the Big 12 if they can beat TX on the road) (WEST)

#2s

Wake (SOUTH)
DUKE (EAST)
Clemson (WEST)
Marquette (MIDWEST)

#3s
Xavier (South)
Louisville (East)
Mich. St. (Midwest)
UCLA (West)

4th
Butler (South)
Gonzaga (East)
Texas (Midwest)
Memphis (West)

5th
Purdue (South)
Nova (East)
Syracuse (Midwest)
Kansas (West)

Those are probably the 20 best teams in the country right now so that's all I'll do.

So we got 26 days now, and it looks like Duke is no longer an option for a #1 Seed and with Pitt beating Uconn tonight, it puts Pitt into a #1 Seed and perhaps kicks Uconn out of one. The biggest question is now who gets that Overall #1, Oklahoma or UNC. It seems like no one is talking about Oklahoma and everyone has been talking about UNC and Uconn, when I think Oklahoma and Pitt would be a big threat to UNC.

Updated:

UNC - Overall #1, really can't see them losing another regular season game
Pitt
Oklahoma - Sat. at Texas will be tough, but March 4th at Mizzou will be the biggest test, which I don't think they will pass
Uconn or Memphis - Uconn still has to go to Pitt, which will be rough and Memphis I think it just amazing. Everyone is talking about Bruce Weber and Bill Self for Coach of the year, and no one is talking about John Calipari. He lost alot of players and they keep climbing the rankings, plus they got a top 10 RPI.

These last 3 weeks should be very interesting.

thanks asshat....now they are almost guaranteed to loose at least one more

[Boltergeist]

I could see Michigan St. sneaking a 1 if they win out and any of UNC, Pitt, UConn, and OU falters.

[tarheelblue89]

thanks asshat....now they are almost guaranteed to loose at least one more

Please, our toughest test is at Va Tech, where we lost two years ago. Not like they have any talent though aside from Delaney and Vassallo who only average 18 pts/gm, and Allen who nearly averages a double-double.



sh*t :banghead:

[tarheelblue89]

3 weeks from yesterday.

Some Conference tourny's start next week (My second fav. Butler, March 3rd)

Looks like Oklahoma has come and gone.

Pitt, Uconn, UNC, and Memphis look like the favorites as of now, but don't count out Louisville.

[tarheelblue89]

Obviously no one is reading this, but I am going to keep updating it.

2 Weeks from today, conference tournys start Tuesday. If you're not excited then you are just not human.

God uconn needs to lose so l'ville can win the beast.
