Title: Anticipating interesting Tourney storylines
Post by: 77ncaachamps on March 09, 2009, 12:12:24 AM
MU's a lock for the tournament. We just hope they can go really far.

But ESPN's BubbleWatch made me think of some possible match-ups and interesting storylines.

San Diego State - Ryan "We Hardly Knew Ya" Amoroso

Kansas - Tyshawn "The Reneger" Taylor

Tennessee - The Curse of Bruce Pearl

If UK doesn't win out, then we won't have a mentor-student match-up.


I'd love to see Amoroso teabagged and posterized.

Heck, a "Sweat Out" between Buzz and Bruce would be entertaining.

What about the MU vs UW-Madison 7 vs 10 matchup or even 8 vs 9.

Nothing would surprise me, even though the committee supposedly doesn't want teams that played against each other in the regular season to play again in the tournament.

Can we get a MU vs IU match-up?

Haha I think this would be a fun debate....If IU wins out in the Big 10 Tournament what would there seed be? 

If UGA was a 14 last season you could make the argument that IU could be seeded as low as a 16, and if there aren't any dramatic mid-major upsets would it be possible to put a BCS team into the play-in game.

How low could a BCS team really be seeded by the committee?

Crean's 6-24 record wouldn't get him into any play-in game.
