#2 Miami tied with 14 seconds left

Great guard play, strong big men around the basket, and a veteran lineup makes for a dangerous team in march

Ola****indipo is not scared.

Also, lots of teams have strong guard play and good big men. And experience is overrated in the postseason.

I'm gonna be lucky to pick one in the Final 4 right this year. It's gonna be crazy.

I always pick Louisville for the Final Four. This year will be no different.

Yeah, picking Louisville almost got me $$ last year. Picking between them Mich. State, St. Louis, and Memphis was brutal though.

My bracket was in the 99th percentile on ESPN's Bracket Challenge thing until the final game (I picked Kansas to win).

Very nice. I sucked in ESPN. I was in about 3-4 brackets last year, so I just talk about the one I did well in. I believe I had Memphis beating Louisville in one, and Mich St. beating Louisville in another.

That makes perfect sense . I also highly doubt one of the top pg's in the country, Shane Larkin, gives a rats *** about 'dipo. Take a look at Miami's roster sometime man. They play well, and they have a fantastic coach. Shooting down an undefeated team so much makes you sound ignorant

Larkin better worry about Yogi before he thinks about Oladipo. Miami, I feel, will get a 1 seed, but I don't see them making a run. I think 1 seeds will be Miami, Florida, Duke, and someone from the Big Ten. Likely the winner of the Indiana/Michigan game unless the other wins the conference tourney. FWIW, I think Indiana is the best team in the nation. That means nothing in the tourney.

It does make sense. Experience is overrated. UCONN won two years ago with 3 freshman starting (Napier, Lamb, Smith), and Kentucky won last year with a bunch of freshman starting. There is very, very, very, little between a big game in the B1G, B12, or Big East, and a game in the NCAA tournament. If a freshman like Marcus Smart can win in the B12, he can win in the tournament. If a freshman like Georges Niang can win in the B12, he can win in the tournament. He's not gonna be scared.

I'm not shooting down Miami. I think they're a great team. But I don't think they're quite on Indiana's level.

Miami is great at 3 things which are think are somewhat due to luck.

1. Their opponents shoot FTs poorly against them
2. Their opponents shoot 3s poorly against them
3. They block a ton of shots without fouling (and you'll never know what refs you run into in the NCAAs)

I'd be afraid, very afraid, of picking them to the Final 4.

Idk if they are a final four team, but they prove they can win close games. Again when you are undefeated, its not because of luck, clearly they are doing something well.

#40 blocks per game
#13 field goal percentage defense
#25 scoring defense
#33 scoring margin
#23 steals per game
#32 in field goal percentage defense
#20 in turnovers per game

I got that off the NCAA website. What that tells me is, they play good team defense, and they take care of the basketball. I do understand though why most everyone agrees that Indiana is #1. They play a hellish schedule. Miami doesnt

[Clones21]

Mizzou beat Florida...Booo

Called it early!
