Thats why I think people are overlooking Duke a little. They have the 6th best offense in the country and played a good portion of their games without their 3rd best scorer (Kelly)

I have Duke, New Mexico, Kansas, and Indiana in the final four.

Brad Stevens is a top notch coach, there is no doubt about that. i just dont see their current team being able to have that magical run. i think creighton and st louis are the 2 scariest teams that arent from a power conference. maybe bucknell too. and obviously gonzaga

I can't see IU getting stomped by anyone, as the biggest deficit we've had all season is 13 points or something.

Your zone is tough though, and we've consistently struggle against good zones. Yogi has helped a ton in that regard, though.

I'd say most teams have a seen a 2-3 zone, but nothing like what Syracuse plays. It's a different brand of 2-3. IU plays a "2-3" that is AWFUL.

No one in basketball period plays a good 2-3 outside of Syracuse :) It can barely be called a 2-3. They should just call it the Boeheim. It's like if a 3-2 defense had a baby with a half court press, and that baby had a baby with a 2-3 defense.

Reason I never liked bucknell. Cause Fitzpatrick is a bum. Butler is shutting down mouscala and he isn't picking up the slack. Butler won't be upset by a team like bucknell.

Guy isn't an underrated center. Rated just fine. Zeke Marshall is way more underrated.

I know man. You and I may have our disagreements on how to manage our individual teams here.. But when comes to knowledge of the game, same page usually.

Dunno how anyone doesn't give butler cred to sweet 16s just off the coach and team alone. Willmen is the only reason game doesn't look lopsided right now.

Phewwwwwwwwwww...I am so glad I switched my pick last night to Butler. Bucknell was just an unproven team and deserved lower than an 11 seed. Reality check today and that goodness......I am still perfect early on!!!

How about that game between Marquette and Davidson? Golden Eagles down by 5 with 1 minute to go, but hit a 3 and a driving lay-up to win. Talk about saving my bracket. Oops, never mind, Pittsburgh lost to Wichita State.

Southern almost screwed 99.9% of Americas brackets so you can deal with the Pittsburgh loss
