NCAA Tournament thread

I remember alot of Louies teams getting bounced early also. We are a team athletically no one is going to want to play. We also have the ability to morph our style to go 4 guards making us very difficult to press. The one time Gtown tried their vaunted press it ended in a layup and that ended that.

Anyone besides me crazy and want to be an 8 seed matched up w Kentucky in round 2?

We'd probbaly be creamed but outside of making a run to the final four a win would be remembered forever.

I'm one of the most optimistic posters on here, but...

I want nothing to do with Kentucky.

Ditto.  Unless, it's in the Final Four.   

Need to play teams without much size and hope they have bad shooting days.

I don't mind size if they have limited athleticism.  A team with both poses a big problem for us.

You're crazy. And I kinda like it.

I bet we end up Virginia's bracket

Georgetown and Providence are very big, athletic teams.  Not Kentucky big and athletic, but big and athletic.

I think over the course of the season we've found ways to play against bigger teams.  I think a rematch with Gonzaga would be a nice matchup if we end up a 7 or a 10.

Of all teams, Palm's bracketology has us facing Purdue, with Hammonds and Haas to contend with if that comes true... 

SJU beating GT is awesome but making the tournament should be a given at this point. The goal should be winning at least one goal in the tournament if not more. We were ranked as high as 15....this team deserves credit for bending and not breaking in the middle of the season.
However Lavin deserves blame if we don't get out of the the first round of the NCAA tournament. Making it to the first round with norm guys was an achievement, being bounced in the first round with his guys is a disappointment.

And having your best or 2nd best player hurt in that game and not playing was disappointing too...   maybe Lavin could have performed a miracle and made DJ healthy for that game...

Lunardi has us as an 8 now facing Texas A&M with Duke in Round 2...

yea - here is the bracket http://espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology

I'd sign up for that. I'd hope St. John's fans would travel to Charlotte for that.

I think there is some truth about the committee wanting to avoid rematches in the opening 2 rounds
