Who thinks Syracuse can make the NCAA Tournament?

Hate to be wishy washy, but it seems to me that they are on the bubble right now. Yes, they have some impressive wins lately. On the other hand, they have a chance to be eliminated early in the conference tournament, which would hurt them quite a bit. \n\nOverall, I think your Orangemen have a better chance than my Hoosiers! LOL

Great Picks!!!!\nBut I think the Duke Blue Devils will win the tourney.\nGo Duke!!!!

It is Villanova hosting UCONN, and Villanova just won.\n\nWhich is good, because it would look even better now on Syracuse's application to the NCAA Tourney if the 'Cuse beat 'Nova at the Dome.

ABSOLUTELY!!!  Look at what they did this year with almost all freshman.  These guys are only getting better!  And, have you seen some of the players coming in... SICK!  Winner of the McDonalds All American Slam Dunk Champion for one (last time we got that one it was Vince Carter)

I do think 8.  W. Virgina, UCONN, Nova, Georgetown, Pitt, Seton Hall, Marquette, and Syracuse.  I think they're all valid teams.  The first five on that list are locks.

Syracuse Orangemen All-Star team\n\nStarters:\nC-Ron Seikaly\nPF-Derrick Coleman\nSF-Carmelo Anthony\nSG-Dave Bing\nPG-Dwayne "Pearl" Washington\n\nBench: C-Roosevelt Bouie, F-John Wallace, F-Billy Owens, G-Sherman Douglas, G-Gerry McNamara(Syr. senior)\n\nUNC won't mop the floor against this all-star team. They might be better, but you can't say this team would lose by more than 10 points to them.

I made a prediction that if Florida wins, it would be a blowout and if UCLA wins, it'd be close.  My predition was correct but I picked the wrong team.  Florida is a very versatile, they've many players who can do numerous things on the court.  UCLA couldn't make a shot and their mini comeback was a little too late.  Florida and UCLA will be dangerous next year.  Don't be surprise if you see at least one of those teams back in the final four.  What did you think?

Yes, Villanova has a very good chance to go all the way. They are a very powerful team. And the best #1 seed in the tournament. They may have trouble against UConn(if they meet). But I think Villanova can go all the way.

I would hesitate to pick any team at this point.  There are some good ones (UConn, Duke, Illinois) - so bracketing will be everything.\n\nBut you can't really argue with UConn's results, so I would take them at this early stage.

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!

I really doubt it.Usually home team fans storm the court. Since most NCAA tournament sites are neutral, it's tougher for one school to gather enough fans to storm the court.

This is another one of those questions no one thought would be asked.  George Mason has beaten two of last years final 4, including the defending champs, UNC.  I think they'll beat Wichita State.

Guard play is important, and Villanova does have one of the best guard fronts, but guards aren't everything. Balanced teams (teams with both an inside and outside power) seem to do best when it comes to "The Dance." And yes i do think Villanova has a good shot, but so does every top ten team right now. Duke has showed weakness now and so has every other team at the top of the bracket. My favorite to win it all is still Duke, but a lot can happen in the upcoming weeks.

Stewart Mandel's Bubble Watch over at cnnsi.com has Maryland out right now. Ranked 47th in the RPI, 19 wins (if I'm not mistaken one of their wins was against division II). I think they need two things to get in: 1. Wake's run needs to end quick b/c both Wake AND Maryland aren't getting in and 2. Beat BC tonight. Both of those happen and they're probably in.

I'd like to see Morrison get Player of the Year, but if the NCAA seedings are any indication, that award will belong to Redick.

yes NC State has came up big in tournaments the last couple years. they have a decent team, but their coaching is excellent.

UCONN or Villanova, but if Jim Calhoun keeps his team focused and prevents them from slacking throughout the tournament, it will definitely be the Huskies of UCONN.
