UK/UL opened at UL -5.5

I bet that drops to -2 by game time.

Yep. Definitely going to go down. That's a really big spread.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I am 99.6 percentile. Anyone got better?

Remember when Duke jumped 7 spots in the AP Poll after losing to Syracuse?

Does the rest of the country now realize how ridiculous that was? *Cuse got bounced by Dayton(!) in the second round and Duke lost to Mercer in the opening round game in Raleigh...

Just needed to get that off my chest.

I'm a huge fan, but able to separate fandom from critical thinking.

LazyD i gotta disagree about the ISU Uconn matchup, Vegas has it as a pick'em or 1point game

Uconn's got those quick guards, DeAndre Daniels is a tough matchup at forward and Amida Brimah the 7'er leads the NCAA in blocks per 40 @6.25 per game

Brimah is an interesting prospect, ill be keeping a close eye on him for the next few years he was WAY under recruited, only had offers from Florida International, La Salle, South Carolina and UConn. hes 7' with a 7'6" wingspan

 

[Hantlers]

He's only 7'0 because Fabtrey hasn't watched him play yet. We'll soon find out he's only 6'8.

Yes, about .4% of people who filled out brackets.

Hoiberg is better suited for the NBA.

You guys can be funny all u want.. but the biggest reason is he is a chill/cool dude. Pro players will better respond to his demeanor than that of Calipari's... as Cal is way more berating to his guys. Doesn't go over well in the NBA.

Also, as far as Cal's NBA tenure (not that I give a damn, mind you), it's well documented that he came in and immediately turned the corner with the Nets... but his players soon turned on him. It wasn't his coaching but his demeanor.

Hoiberg 4 Jazz?

NVM^ I guess people already been tom 'bout that.
