Cake, that UCLA-Nova matchup is the most difficult one to pick in my bracket as well. I have whoever winning that beating Duke but still, I hope Dwayne Anderson can show out.

Although i cannot respect that Wisky choice at all

Its the supporting cast G... I know he took them past UNC, I love Tony's game but man Iono G

as far as the UCLA/Nova whats giving me the flux is the fact that its in philly but at the same time the inside presence of UCLA can do Nova dirty. !!@* G!

 

[al3xis]

Nahh...Dante Cunnigham will be the best post player on the floor in that game.

that's why I give them the edge in that game and against Duke

UCLA elite 8, IMO can't score well enough

I don't have a problem with the Gonzaga one. That game will be close, but damn. Oklahoma in the title?

I was just playing a little, not really that bad, and I am with you. I have thought about 4 matchups about all day. And have nooo idea what to do.

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW G!!! Thats exactly what put when I was first discussing that game, Izzo is a tourney coach. Thats what bothers me, but I just dont knowabout that squad G.

I might be changing this one upon further deliberation.

They have a pretty easy road their match up wise, minus nova which is kicking my $*+

The match up just works in their favor for each of the games. The only ? is do they have the defensive pressure to force Cuse and Zaga into mistakes, and canthey dismantle the Cuse's zone (they have the inside out with Griffin and Warren), can they guard the perimeter and contain the guards.

I have cake's same problem with USC - Floyd doesn't necessarily inspire great play, but USC is rolling right now, and they know how to get the job doneon defense. I'm going to pick them, because i don't liek MSU's squad, but i expect Izzo's ability to pull out in actuality.

UCLA's scoring is NOT their problem - i think they lead the nation in FG%....Their defense, surprisingly, has KILLED them this year. Absolutely killedthem.

I feel like is ASU gets to Cuse, they have a really good shot because of their style of play. That matchup zone is only going to break down if you are able tocreate massive matchup problems, usually in the vein of a tall, athletic swingman who can hit the pull up J. If they can manage to feed Onuaku and he is ableto kick it out properly, they will be successful, but I haven't really seen much out of him in that regard.

JUST DO IT. Maynor, Sanders, and the rest of the Rams will not disappoint.

Plus, UCLA has to make the trip across country to the East Coast.

We already know how West Coast teams suffer from that.
