  • OT: Nova losing to Temple
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Barring a meltdown, Temple should win this game. 1:13 left, Temple by 7.

I said it a few days ago, and i'll say it again, Nova's not playing like or look like the #3 team in the country. Impressive run last year, no doubt, but 'Cuse has looked way better.

Cuse will probably trade places with Nova in the polls. We will stay 5th.

Sucks for you guys if that happens, but it's hard to argue that Syracuse hasn't looked more impressive than Purdue so far.

Those Big 5 games are so competitive. St. Joseph's gave Nova a scare a couple of days ago.

Syracuse definitely deserves to be above Purdue. With what they've done so far this year, they have an argument to be ranked #1 to be honest.

Minus the LeMoyne DivII loss in exhibition, I agree.

Eh.. I never judge a team on exhibition. National Champs have lost exhibition games in recent history.

On ESPN radio a week or two ago, Jay Wright laughed at the fact that his team was ranked in the top 10(I think 7th at the time). He went on to say that he has had much better teams at Villanova that were never ranked that high. It doesn't surprise me that they lost.......Kansas is the only team that should be consistently dominant. Kentucky has the talent to keep up with them, but not the experience. Syracuse's gimmick zone can give teams fits, but at the end of the day I don't think they are on the same level as Kansas.

I judge em by exhibition games if it helps my cause. ;)

I can not argue we deserve to be ranked higher than 'Cuse right now though.

Yeah, but they have a good mix. Some experience at guard, lots of big athletic bodies, lots of guys who can hit the 3......I don't think much of Self as a coach, but he has a team with the fewest holes in CBB this year.

Not really going out on a limb there.

Kansas?..............well, it's going to be pretty easy no matter which bracket they are in. Much like last year, you can pretty much pencil in most of the Elite 8 right now. I'd take Kansas blind into the final four if you want to make some sort of bet on it. If they don't make it, I'll end every post with CREAN IS KING........if they do make it you have to end every post with EVIL KNOWS BEST.....for a year.

So who is in your elite 8, just out of morbid curiosity?
