Told ya ‘bout them Pitt Panthers. Officially the hottest team in the country right now. Knocking off what I would have called the team playing the best ball in the country yesterday.
Georgia is gonna screw Kentucky out of their NCAA bid if they beat Arkansas. ‘cause if Georgia gets the AQ, they gonna have to leave an SEC bubble team out. You gotta think that would be the Cats. I’m pulling for Arkansas either way. Billy Clyde loses ten games next year we fire his ass and bring John Pelphrey home.
I’m doing my brackets this year by mascot. If one mascot got into a fight with the other mascot, who do I think would win. For example, a mountaineer against a nittany lion. I’m going with the mountaineer because he’s got a gun and could shoot that nanny nittany. But if it’s a crimson tide against a green wave I gotta pick on conference. And I’m very SEC biased.
If I was a gambling man, I’d lay a little dough on the champ coming from the Big East. Or the Pac-10. I don’t know. I might just be regurgitating crap I heard on the radio.
I do think this is going to be the year of the big man. Those two big white stiffs at Vandy might carry them into the sweet 16 if they get favorable match ups in the early rounds. I think that Varnardo cat down at Miss State can cause some ruckus. The seven foot twins at Stanford, Hibbert, Thabeet. There’s a bunch of them out there and it should be a fun ride.
It’s been a few years since Kentucky’s won an NIT too.
