they were really good in the So Con all year. They also killed some giants in December.

do like iona. cal and utah have a couple of nba'ers in their lineups so it's a difficult call. utchatanooga is really intriguing - may pick them for upset in all my pools

I wouldn't go Iona over Iowa St.
Mar 14, 2016, 3:29 PM

Iowa St. goes up and down the floor like Iona, but does it better. Don't like that matchup for the Gaels.

i don't love it but iowa st only really plays five. foul trouble would be a huge issue for cyclones. similar to duke in that regard

I think they've got it figured out...ELITE, dominant talent in the backcourt.

Kentucky has a tendency to struggle on the road. Stony Brook also has an ability to spread teams out and knock down 3s, as well as put pressure on the glass. Not sure I'll actually pick the upset, but the matchup intrigues me.

Stony Brook doesn't play anyone over 6'8"
Mar 14, 2016, 3:53 PM

I think Kentucky dispatches them easily.
Also, there are no road games here. Kentucky is 5-1 on neutral floors.

amen to that, I'm a Vermont fan and Stony Brook got dominated on the boards by Vermont who is small aside from O'Day. SB's big man is real nice but wont be able to contend with double teams and the athleticism of all the Kentucky players. SB couldn't hit outside shots all game. KY easy in that one.

UNI, UALR, and Iona are all dangerous.. IMO

agreed.... but TT is a team that has
Mar 14, 2016, 4:24 PM

some big time wins this year and have played in some big time games...
I think that could be a dangerous game for UVA if it is TT they meet

I've got Stephen F. Austin over WVU as my biggest upset
Mar 15, 2016, 8:09 AM
|

Also UNI over Texas. I think SFA is consistent team with good pressure on the ball and will be a significant test for WVU. Plus it's always fun to pick one big upset just to see if it happens!
