Does Kent State University Men's basketball stand a chance in March Madness?

They are probably on the wrong side of the bubble right now, and they haven't played that many good teams. They need to win the MAC Tourney in order to go dancing. So even if they did go, they would probably get beat in the first round, unless they were a #12 seed playing a #5. Then they would have a legit shot at the second round, where they wouldn't go any further.

I personally think that the Duke Blue Devils are overrated. Along with J.J. Redick, he is a heck of a shooter I agree, but isn't as clutch as everyone thinks. I wouldnt be surprised to see them fall in the Sweet 16 or Elite 8. \n\nI got Nova winning it all!

Man I can't wait for this game!!!!!!!!! My heart is telling me Michigan will pull it off, my brain keeps on breaking my heart though. I can't stand the Luckeyes but if I were to put money on it, I'd have to go with osu. Sorry

I love watching Kirk Hinrich play, I've watched him ever since he played with KU, he and Nick Collison were some awesome basketball players!! I think if he were on another team, he would be starting!!

University of Michigan. Daniel Horton is the senior leader. After working with Chauncey Billups of the Detroit Pistons, Horton has learned how to manage a game and when it is the proper time to take a shot. He probably is one of the more controlled guards in college, and he is one of the 16 finalist for the Bob Cousy Award which is given to the nations top point guard. Aside from Horton though, my favorite player outside of Michigan is Dee Brown of Illinois. Brown is another Bob Cousy Award top 16 finalist. Brown is the quickest player in college and he carries Illinois on his shoulders. He seems like a bit bigger version of Allen Iverson because he drives the lane, creates the fast break, his quickness, and he defends well as he has won the Big Ten defensive player of the year along with the Big Ten player of the year in 2005. There may not be a better point guard in college right now.

Yes I think it's retarded too!  You are not alone!  :)  I think people think after all the hype it should carry over the NC, but I would be very opposed to an intra-conference NC.  It won't happen this year anyway.  Too much pressure is on the BCS to have a playoff system.  Having 2 teams from the same conference would be anti-playoff.  Anyway, I think both OSU and Mich are both getting pretty tired.  I bet the game is a big let down to watch. The movers and the shakers in the polls are the ones to watch.

I think Duke has a good chance in the tournament. They have played very strong all season and the loss to FSU will only refocus Coach K, and Reddick and Co. to play to the best of their ability. I think Duke should make the Final Four and from there it is anyone's guess. When you get to that point in the tournament anything can happen. Very rarely do we not see at least one top team go down in the Semi-final game. The ACC schedule Duke plays usually prepares them well for the tournament, but they do tend to have troubles beating Big 10 teams in the NCAA tourney. This can be attributed to the fact that the ACC and Big 10 play different styles of ball. The big 10 likes to bang around in the paint and the ACC likes to use better guard play. But this year the styles have seemed a little closer. Duke should fare well in the tourney this year.

Its good to lose before going into the ncaa tournament. That way you aren't too relaxed and cocky and get caught sleeping. Now they have the hunger and desire to win again so yes they should be in the top 5. No more pressure on Reddick to break records so watch out for Duke! I hate Duke by the way......Go Illinois!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, to Tommy, Duke and Syracuse are in the same region.\n\nNow, it will be Duke, UConn, Nova, and Gonzaga.\n\nDuke-They may have the toughest road, especially with G.W. only being a 8 seed.  They will probably then play the 'Cuse, who I see them beating in a nail-biter.  W. Virginia or Texas will be their Elite 8 opponent, and we all know they can beat Texas (remember earlier this year) and WVU isn't as good as people think.\n\nUConn-Easiest region period.  Illinois isn't as good as people think, and UNC will probably fold down the stretch.  I don't see really anything out've Tennessee, Mich. St., or Washington, either.\n\nVillanova-Ohio St. is not as good as some imagine.  Nova's real test will be the Sweet 16 game against B.C.  If they do in fact win that, they will easily slide into the Final Four.\n\nGonzaga-Indiana will be fatigued once the Zags beat Xavier.  UCLA isn't really all that good, and neither is Memphis.  Morrison can lead a team at any given time.

As much as I don't want them to, they have a good chance.  Lucky for me I get to see them, in person, whoop my school (Georgia Tech) tonight.  But crazy stuff can happen in the tournament and they have had some close games, so I wouldn't say it's in the bag.

As far as SHOULD they get a chance if they win out? Yes! Until a team has been beaten, there is no way to know how good they can really be. If every other team has lost a game, then why should they get a shot at the best (and the winner of the UofM OSU game will clearly be thought of as the best) when a team has not yet been beaten?\n\nAs far as WILL they? No way. It is conceivable that every team above them COULD lose again this season, but then the loser of the OSU UofM game will get back in as number 2. Mathematically it is almost impossible for them to get a chance.

I am a Buckeye fan But Michigan is a great time also. That's what make them playing a great game. I don't think they should have a rematch this year. Next year regular season they will have their chance.

Florida looks like the hottest team in the tournament at this point.  They have been destroying their opponents by the greatest margin the tourney, though they competition was not the hardest.  They also have a solid coach in Billy Donovan who has some recent championship game experience (2000).  If Noah and the rest can keep up the unselfish play, I think Florida will be the NCAA Champions come April.

If they play smart basketball like they did against UConn they can beat anyone. Their three guards provide great outside shooting and have a great ability to make free throw shots when they get fouled in the paint. \n\nGeorge Mason's forward (Will Thomas) and center (Jai Lewis) work very well together and are huge threats in the paint. If Thomas and Lewis set up a good inside game they can draw double teams and set up Lamar Butler on the perimeter for clutch three point shots. \n\nGeorge Mason is truly the greatest cinderella team to ever play in the tournament. Thier big wins over 6th seed Michigan State, 3rd seed North Carolina, and one seed UConn is the greatest feat a team (11th seed) has ever accomplished. I am pulling for George Mason and hoping that they can pull off a miracle win against Florida to make it to the National Championship.\n\nMark my Words, If George Mason can disrupt Joakim Noah and Al Horford, George Mason will win the game by 3+ points.
