Bracket Challenge

[MikeJackets1967]

With Tennessee losing my bracket is officially screwed Tennessee's program is in good shape with Rick Barnes and everyone will be happy as long as Tennessee goes to the NCAA Tournament every year which is a very good possibility.

2 games in a row that Loyola wins on a last second shot - though on this one they had given up a 10 pt lead in the last 4 min.

my South bracket is completely busted except for the team I picked to get to the Final Four in Cincy.

not only that but they were trailing 61-62 on both game winning shots

I think Kentucky will be playing North Carolina in the Final 4 now

Should've been a tie game. Ticky tack foul call on UT's shot before that.

Has a Rick Barnes coached team ever won a meaningful game?

 

[Peacone36]

Juniors and Seniors
Good guard play
Ball movement

Sound familiar?

He went to the Final 4 at Texas. Don't forget Tennessee was SEC Champions this season Rick Barnes reminds me of former UT Men's Basketball Coach Ray Mears.

My Final Four is all clear and 7 of the final 8 too. It’s still very early but I may finally have a decent bracket for once.

My South bracket is similar. My championship game is still alive, but this has not been a banner year year for me.

 

[Peacone36]

yeah upsets really don’t matter unless they are Elite 8 teams

Right now I think North Carolina and Villanova play in the Championship Game.

I'm with you somehow even with as many games as I've lost. Today's been good to me.

UVA will be fine next year.
Guy, Jerome, Hunter, diakite and Salt all back. Jay Huff will be stronger.
They lose Wilkins, hall and Johnson

Cry me a river. They'll get a double bye in ACCT again

You're absolutely right. They'll feast on the regular season then falter in the tournament when their style breaks down yet again. You can set a clock to it. Death, taxes, Bennett's team being ineffective in the tourney.

A lot of fans on the Sabre Message Board are hoping that Virginia falls to a #3 or #4 Seed in the 2019 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. I think Virginia will fall back quite a bit during the 2018-2019 season and I think they make the NCAA Tournament as a possible #4 or #5 Seed.

Roy Williams was criticized for not being able to win a championship at Kansas. He has now won 3 a UNC. Bennett's style is fine. You don't go 31-3 and win an ACC title with a bad system.

 

[mstranahan]

I'd be thrilled if GT had one year as good as a mediocre year for UVA under Bennett. We've had like three winning ACC records in last 25 or 30 years. Hes won 29+ games (overall) for of last five years.
