IF Indiana Faces UNC I'll take any bet upto $100

let me know anytime before the start of that game

with all of Indianas problems I have a tough time seeing them get by Ark ( hell they couldn't get past the 1st rnd of the Big Ten tourney) , but I think they will as they have the talent to get by them, just not by Carolina MORE SO SINCE THIS GAME WILL BE BASICLY A HOME GAME FOR CAROLINA AT Raleigh

lets see they are 3-3 in there last 6 games ( 1-3 in there last 4, 0-2 in there last 2 ) since the new head coach took over, 2 of their wins in that stretch were by 3 points ( they almost lost to Big Ten last place Team Northwestern (8-22 1-17) 85-82, they did lose to 15-16 Penn st 64-68 in OT, A team they beat earlier in the season 81-65

How many points you giving me? Let's be serious man, UNC is still the #1 seed of the tourney, and for you to make this statement on a stright up bet is somewhat disrespectful to how you feel about me (us) as sportsfans and gamblers. Maybe Paul will take it though.

If Butler v. Louisville happens, we can bet that game. No way Butler gets past Pitino and his team of experienced, talented, defense based team.

We can bet the first round Kentucky game. $20?


I will also throw out a bet of $40 that UNC doesn't make the Final Four, and no, they don't have the toughest bracket IMO, like all the experts say.

The toughest bracket by far is the South. The top 4 seeds all have legitimate chances to win it all, and Michigan St. (if they get hot) can put a dent into the tourney as well.

Let's face it, Tennessee has been less than impressive in the last couple weeks, besides the win over Memphis, who I feel is WAAAYYYY overrated, they have done nothing. Louisville is the true #2 seed in that bracket.

UCLA has the easiest road, as I believe Duke is a very weak #2 seed, and let's not get on Xavier. They haven't played anyone. UCLA has had the most games against this tourney field at 16, and they are 14-2 against them. As long as their injuries don't hold them back, they are the best team in the field...and I am not saying this because they are my favorite team.

I would looove to see USC make the run I have read a couple experts say they could make, I like them as well, but I don't see Beasley letting them get by.


There is one thing about Indiana you are forgetting. DJ White came back to win a championship, and Gordon will not be there next year. Did they care about the Big 10 Championship? Hell no! They were already slotted for the tourney. This team is a top 10 talented team, and will let the hype of March Madness fill them and play with vigor once again.

UNC didn't play defense until the last Duke game. Without defense, one slip up, they will lose. You can win games when your shot isn't going down with defense. This is why UCLA will win, and is better. They have shown better defense against better competition than anyone out there, with maybe the exception of Geargetown.

As of now, half way through day 2, I am 17-4. Baylor was my only big loss, as I have them going to sweet 16.

OK so after RND 1 ( I didn't double check so I could be wrong on some of those #'s )


Frank is 23-9 ( lost 4 sweet 16 teams and 1 elite 8 team )
Me- 21-11 ( I lost 3 sweet 16 teams, but all my elite 8 teams are still alive )
Chris is 20-12 ( lost 1 sweet 16 team in Drake, everyone else is alive for him past that though)

And Paul only put up who he thought would make the Final 4, which he already has lost 2 of those teams in Indiana and Clemson.

let me know anytime before the start of that game

Before any of yall go off and make wild bets ....

Why not wait till we at least know the final 4? After all, Indiana wasn't getting out of the first round of the NCAA as it was... Obviously.

Notice I said IF Indiana faced them, I wasn't sold on anything of Indiana's, The end of the season your suppose to get better not worse.

I feel kinda bad for Indiana's interm Coach, he now has almost no chance of head coaching a big name teamed, to take that talented Indiana Team to finish out 3-4, 3 straight losses to close the season and losses in the 1st rnd of Big Ten and Ncaa. No0t many people are going to be looking his way anytime soon
