I thought Xavier was undeserving its consideration for a high seed - not so. I picked Stanford to win it all - maybe they aren't as good as I thought. We'll see.
Xavier/Stanford
- Thread starter BenEClone
- Start date
Make no mistake, I think Nebraska earned their seed. Regular-season champs of the best conference. But as you said, Xavier is very good - Stanford was lucky.
I can't even remember the last time I watched a basketball game with that big of a choke job at the end of a game. To miss one uncontested layup is bad, but to miss a second one in unbelievable. Then when you don't think it can get any worse they let Standford dribble almost the length of the court to win on a layup.
Anyone else notice that the Pohlen girl that made the drive was ISU recruit Kelsey Harris' former teammate?
OK. Of course you could have changed the channel or gotten up for a beer if you were a real WBB hater.:smile:
I've been biting my tongue on this, so don't flame me if I offer this up: Wasn't this kind of the season that the ISU MBB team had this year?
If Appel doesn't heal in time and Stanford doesn't play better, OU will take them out. OU looked good after they got going against Kentucky.
Another big Xavier miss was the free throw prior to the two muffed lay ups which would have given them the one-point lead with seconds left.
Stanford/OU --This will be my pick as the best game of the finals.
Obviously, UCONN is a 40+-point favorite no matter who they play. Thank God for all the other top-notch schools for providing the wonderful close exciting games. UCONN in all their success has taken the fun out of winning and losing.
