March 20, 201115 yr GT is money in regards to college basketball...I don't even try to debate anymore.
March 24, 201115 yr GT is money in regards to college basketball...I don't even try to debate anymore. :thumb: I just listen...or in this case, read. Anytime something big, or something that specifically interests me is going down, I get on BGP to see if GT has chimed in on it. If he has, that's what I go with regardless of what I hear or see elsewhere. As for the thread topic, I think it is a self-defeating prophecy. These analysts all jump on the same 4-5 "cinderellas". Well, at that point, are they still sleepers? Everyone is picking them. I think the big school opponents draw motivation from that. So, when a bunch of experts pick Oakland, Belmont or whoever, I believe it ends up motivating the majors. You get an up-and-down, but talented, Texas team playing to prove everyone wrong and odds are they win because the talent gap is usually pretty big. Then of course, the upset comes from left field, like Morehead State, because guess what. Nobody picked them and U of L wasn't playing with a chip on its shoulder or something to prove. That's my theory on this.
March 24, 201115 yr What I find telling, is of the ESPN analysts, only Digger Phelps is still alive and we're just at the sweet 16. Pitt messed up a lot of these guys. My sister's dog picked her bracket and she's still alive. Daisy picked FSU, Arizona, UK, and Wisconsin to go the final four. Wouldn't it be a hoot if an overgrown Rot-Lab mix beat Digger? BTW - She she has FSU and Arizona in the Finals and picked Arizona to win it all. Sis says I'm nuts, but I think when Daisy ate "Wooden on Leadership" she learned something.
March 24, 201115 yr I also heard the experts saying Richmond was good. Last year everyone was on Cornell. The experts are better than the people selecting teams and seeds
