Best of luck to your respective teams and brackets.
This website should allow you to watch the games; Let me know if it doesn't work and if there is a better link. http://www.ncaa.com/march-madness-li...A75n0TAW2IScNK Last edited by Dante84; 03-21-2013 at 09:46 AM.. |

Most teams play up/down to their competition these days, at least some of the time... and if we're going to bring up TCU like it means anything, we might as well talk about what happened when Michigan went to Penn State. So what if Michigan plays like they did @PSU AND Kansas plays like they did @TCU?!?! I just don't see the point though... "if they play like (this game), they'll lose/win" is one of the most shallow, overused, obvious, and pointless observations someone can make.
Hell, it's something you should be bringing up as a Mizzou fan for the lols or whatever, and not by miserable KU fans.

Anyone else get a little sad after the first weekend of the tournament? I know from the Sweet 16 and onward there's typically better games between better teams, but I just love the first and second rounds for quantity and chaos.

Appreciate the sarcasm. But I would much rather KU play FGCU than Michigan in the Sweet Sixteen.

Of course. Me too. I'm just sayin, FGCU is no joke. I'm pretty much ignoring the 15 next to their name. Neither of their wins were flukes. It wouldn't shock me at this point if they played Florida close, or even beat them.

Only if KU is out by then. Later rounds mean better basketball games between better caliber opponents (usually). Chaos is fun for a while, though.

There such on a emotional high right now. They beat Miami earlier on this year so right there tells you that they can beat Florida. I know they lost to Lipscomb twice but its March Madness. I can easily see them playing Kansas in the Elite eight. FGCU is for real. With Brown and Comer as the two main people there a force to be reckoned with. By the way Comer is from Kansas City Missouri!! Florida is about the same defensive team as San Diego State but with a little bit better defense. Right now I cant see a defensive stopping Dunk City!! |

I just love the first round. It starts early in the day and you get a lot of games all throughout the day and night. Then start over the next day and do it all again. Plus I love seeing the no name schools have their chances and I love the upsets. Even when it screws my bracket up sometimes.

Well, according to kenpom, the defensive difference is like playing Gonzaga (SDSU) or Kansas (Florida), and the difference on offense is much larger.... you're talking about a legitimate Final Four team and a team that went 9-7 in the Mountain West. March Madness.... so crazy, a 3 might overcome all odds and beat a 15.

It's a cool story... haven't seen them play at all, but will probably watch Friday night. If Kansas wins, I'd like to see what they could do against Florida... not sure if they would take FGCU lightly, or maybe they'll be up to shutting down the dunk city hype.

It says there a 15 seed but they truly are like a 3 or 4 seed. They have led Georgetown and San Diego State by 15 + points. If Kansas does play FGCU than it will truly be a game. It wont be a blowout. Just when you think the team pulls away from FGSU they hit a three. Its so fun to watch them play. Dunk City is where its at.. |

Nate Silver gives FGCU a 5.6% of winning. KenPom gives them 5%.
So yeah, while I don't want to put a damper on your enthusiasm, don't get your hopes up too high on that one. Florida is a better team. |
