Bags Thursday **March Madness**

@Mananddogs

Love the feedback…we’re alligned in many points with this game…

IMO, UConn’s specialty of getting ahead are 3pts and off ball picks/cutting to the basket buckets Aztecs are the best 3pt defending team the tourney.

I see absolutely no advantage with UConn facing State in this matchup with a 1/2 court game.

Comfortable with the points, and ML. 

Also important to add- this is basically a home game for UConn. The Storrs campus is 90 minutes away from Boston.

UConn was undefeated at home this year.

Good luck on your plays but I strongly disagree that NW doesn’t play any defense. That’s the hallmark of their game, defense. Yes, they undermanned do to the injuries but even at full strength it would have been a tall order to take down UConn. I appreciate reading your input on this year’s UConn team and the matchup Thursday but I couldn’t disagree more. UConn is going to be an absolute load for SDSU and I think they cover the spread. The size of UConn will heavily impact LeDee and their ability to get buckets at the rim and I am not a believer in their guards at all with Trammel and Butler who are 5’10 and 6’2, respectively. UConn has way more shot makers, athletes, and sheer size for me to think that SDSU has a chance to pull this off. This UConn team is so connected which is what I believe makes them a tougher out than last year’s team and if we are going to dissect the year-over-year differences, well, SDSU was night and day a better group last year. Good luck on your plays but I can’t get there on this one. Also, do you think SDSU blowing out Yale, who you had on the ML, is somewhat skewing your read here? 

@UnrankedChamp

 Read. How did he add that? What does “Key presence will be key and I love how this Aztecs team is built going in a game close to UConns campus” mean to you? It’s like saying “man I love that this team is going into Cameron, that’s awesome, not a disadvantage at all.” If you ignore the presence of home court advantage in college basketball then you’re just delusional.

Mentioning something =/= addressing it

Following... I appreciate the scouting reports / match-up takes. 

That is a fair assessment; it seems like all of us who took Yale looked past the potential championship rematch. Hindsight...

And I agree Tennessee is a one-man team. I don't necessarily think McDermott is that much better than Barnes. Barnes is a legend and a true players coach, they literally love that man. But Tennessee from what I've seen is a very clumsy team and if Knecht is not on the fall apart. So yes Creighton needs to have plan to completely lock him down and they would greatly increase their chances of a win. I just hope Tennessee can find ways to get other players involved in the offense.

As long as the tarheels get by Alabama they will not allow love and Arizona to beat them. Love was a main part of the tarheel  team two years ago in the final four and it’s just not going to happen… Arizona may get there, but not by beating Carolina

@namethegame

No doubt, solid players on NC…especially the 1 & 5 spots.  What worries me the most about NC Coach Davis. Defensively they struggle to put away teams that score, and we all know what Bama can do…score.

Just a quick note: I just read one sportsbook, that ticket & $ count are 80%-90% on UConn. This a great news for State backers 

Good thread on here ...Far and few in between....Bol LB and all 

@LB_Dirtbags

 but i much prefer carolina in ahigh possession high scoring game, unpreferred are the virginia type ball games

alabama unc can be a really fun game for the fan looking at that 173.5 OU which seems super high but it may

get there but wow hard not to really debate the under.

Unc ml  Zona ml together for a little over even money seems a play here.. 

Plus thats a good tv plot line UNC verse there old player Love who led them to the final 4  2 years ago  then struggled

miserable last year before moving on... But my thoughts a little foggy on this matter possibly being in NC....

@Morphine8X

That went over your head it seems. 

Love Aztecs on this spot..

@Mananddogs

 Also sdstu doesn't have the Arizona transfer Johnson. He was one guy who could matchup with UConn in the post 

love reading all of this. this is an excellent thread, win or lose.

good luck, LB. time for another run

San Diego State’s team last year was better.  UConn should work them over and get the KO late in the game.  

The game is in Boston Uconn wins by 45 ...

@Grinder360

 Who are your fav mushed lol

Fill Em, bags!!

LB.......

San Diego state was never in UConns league to begin with. Leedee was a 1 man show. But with no support you won’t stop uconn.. also clingan had a bad game and huskies still put the hammer on San Diego state.
