\n<\/em>Everyone knows who Kevin Jones is, but do we really<\/em> know how good he is?\u00a0 Yes, he is averaging 20 and 11, which is amazing.\u00a0 But, the offense isn’t exactly fast-paced and he’s still putting up these numbers.\u00a0 Plus, he seems to save his best games for the biggest spotlights and the toughest frontcourts.\u00a0 He had 30 & 12 against K-State.\u00a0 He had 28 & 17 against the monstrous Baylor front line.\u00a0 And, he had 26 & 14 against Syracuse.\u00a0 If the Mountaineers weren’t in 8th place in their conference, he might be getting more talk for national POY.\u00a0 Well, he’s still got a shot to shine, and it starts today against UConn, who took care of DePaul yesterday afternoon.\u00a0\u00a08 people have UConn in this mild upset (Dave, Gersh, KA, Primm, RDoc, Rikey, Stri, Waters).\u00a0 Gross and Teddy both have West Virginia winning this game and tomorrow against against #1 Syracuse, so this is a big one to keep alive that big upset possibility.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>What a game this is.\u00a0 I think it’s safe to say that this is, easily, the game of the day.\u00a0 G’town has potential Final Four talent.\u00a0 Pitt was supposed to have Final Four talent, but it all went wrong.\u00a0 After beating St. John’s yesterday, they continue their chance to make up for the disappointment of this season.\u00a0 The winner here gets Cincinnati tomorrow.\u00a0 This is a pretty big game as far as CTC implications go.\u00a0 Bry and Gross both have this pretty big upset pick.\u00a0 While 18 people have the Hoyas winning here, 11 people have them beating Cincy in the quarters (Alexi, Dave, Gersh, J, KA, Lynch, Primm, Rikey, RDoc, RSmith, Teddy).\u00a0 J, Lynch, and Teddy have them going to the finals.\u00a0 J and Lynch have them winning it all.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>The Hall got a big bubble win last night against Providence and now they can probably cement their at-large chances with a win over Louisville.\u00a0 As for L’ville, remember when they were in the Top-5?\u00a0 Seems like forever ago because this team is not that great.\u00a0 But, they are one of the best coached teams in America and they do have some talent, so they could be a tough out in this tournament and next week’s.\u00a0 The winner here gets the #2-seed, Marquette.\u00a0 J, Lohse, Lynch, and RDoc have a nice upset pick here.\u00a0 The other 16 have the Cardinals.\u00a0 Dave and Mac have Louisville reaching the semis.\u00a0 Primm has them in the finals.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Oh, the USF Bulls.\u00a0 Nothing like a conversation about them being on the bubble to get the talking heads to pretty much implode.\u00a0 “They had a soft Big East schedule.”\u00a0 “But, they finished 6th in an elite conference.”\u00a0 Blah, blah, blah.\u00a0 Today could go a long way to ending these debates.\u00a0 Villanova actually looked pretty good last night, ending the Rutgers season with a 21-point win in the nightcap.\u00a0\u00a0Today the ‘Cats go for two straight to earn a trip to the quarters to face #3 Notre Dame.\u00a0 Primm is the only one with Villanova winning again here, so this would be a HUGE game for him, if they can do it (90 points gained on the rest of the field).\u00a0 KA, RDoc, Scoot, Teddy, and Waters have already lost this game with Rutgers.\u00a0 The other 14 all have USF.\u00a0 The biggest USF fans today are Dave, J, and Lynch, who all have the Bulls going to the finals.\u00a0 Gross could also use a win here, as he has them in the semis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
