2023 Champ Week Thread

In looking at my current 14 line, none of the 14s (Kennesaw State, Vermont, Furman, Louisiana) would be prevented from playing the current 3s (Marquette, K-State, Gonzaga, Tennessee).

Something else that stood out, of those 14s, Vermont is the worst offensive rebounding team at #358, but are #3 in defensive rebounding. Looks like they are aggressive at team rebounding on the defensive end because they aren't a very big team, but the offensive glass simply isn't something that is part of their strategy.

Don't mean to put you on the spot, and I'm sure you've got a gajillion numbers in your head right now, but if you had to rank those 4 from the most preferred to least preferred in your opinion how would you rank them?

Rinse and repeat for the 6 seeds, or anyone in the 5-7 seed range if you're feeling froggy.

If I recall correctly brew usually does a nightmares article.

Everyone thinks its a forgone conclusion that Uconn will be Marquettes 2nd round matchup. Im hopeful that Providence can somehow get out of the downward spiral and beat Uconn.

We've outplayed those two three out of four meetings. We'll play whichever wins.

These Horizon League games are wildly out of control.

Charleston testing the no team winning 30 games has ever missed the tournament rule

[WarriorDoc]

I would love if Charleston loses and still somehow gets into the NCAA as an at-large because it would be some sweet sweet bid thievery making our Badger friends sweat a little more.

Then the obvious offense strategy is to not miss shots.

Nope, score more points.  Usually works.

Now that is some damn good coaching.

Is it the same moron calling GT/FSU? I get it you have to talk about something during this awful game and have to hype your league.

But whoever Cory Alexander is should probably lose his job.

Highlights

"give me the ACC 10 best teams and ill go toe to toe with the Big 12 anyday". Even with the ACC getting to boot their 5 worst, thats insanely idiotic.

"THese two teams(FSU and GT) show how tough the Acc is. Contrasting styles is what this league is about. FSU switches everything on D. GT plays a zone that you dont even know what they are going to do(whatever this means). This is why this team is so tough. Acc teams know them but other teams dont"

Didnt FSU start like 0-7 in non con?

Fire him into the sun.

Yep, same guy. It is sad but approaching very funny stuff.

Since my younger daughter is a UVM student I've watched some games. This years team is not as good as they usually are.  They had a tough time OOC this season and have rolled everyone in conference.

Now im certainly not saying a win would be innevietable.

But if St Marys ended up getting a 6 instead of a 5 and were in our region I wouldnt hate it.

Obviously Gonzaga is supremely talent but Marys looks awful. And last night vs Byu when they blew that huge lead they couldnt handle pressure at all(which was what gave me the more favorable thought for us).

Yeah I'd definitely take my chances with them. And I'd take my chances with Gonzaga in an Elite Eight.

Glow and I were giving some thought to going to the Zags - St. Mary's game.

Glad we didn't. What a boring game.

There's an article on ESPN that lists us as one of 8 teams with a chance to whole thing - wow!!!

[The Sultan]

In the Big Sky, 9-seed Northern Arizona, who finished the year 11-22 (5-13), will be playing in the championship game tonight against second seeded Montana State.

Can't believe they didn't say we were the only team that could win it. So much disrespect.

How dare they include another Big East team on the list!  Don't they know we won the regular season title?!?!?!?!

Im guessing Mintz and Edwards will be hot portal names soon.

Letting Girard have that last possession was text book Jimmy B is past his time.
