I would like to see some of that too. I’m not sure if comments are being reserved while the quarters drafts are ongoing and posters don’t want to tip their picks.I said it last year and I'll say it again, for years this message board provided some of the best tournament advice out there.Is this the general college hoops thread for this year? Was trying to find one, and best I could find through search.
People would break down their hometown team, etc. It was awesome!
Seems like that talk has died down to almost non-existent.
Not really a “hometown” team, but my wife went to the University of New Mexico, and her parents were out at the Mountain West Conference tournament this year (they go out every year). So, I watch a lot of UNM. Their seeding as an 11 seed was (in my biased view) pretty ridiculous. Rolled through the MWC tournament, including a double digit lead at one point in the final against SDSU, which got a 5 seed. They finished higher in the MWC standings than Colorado State, beat them in the tournament by 13 points, yet still got seeded below them (UNM also beat Boise State in the tournament by double digits, and got seeded below them too).
Lots of names that you’d recognize. Coached by Richard Pitino, who has got them going at the right time. Guards are fun to watch. Jaelen House (son of Eddie House) and Jamal Mashburn Jr (son of… well, you guessed it).
