So what do you think about the possible MSU/Miz matchup?

Well, we both know there's alot of business to take care of for each team before we get this match-up, but I think it would be a good game.  Line would have to be around a pick 'em, maybe Mizzou a slight fav due to all the love they're getting nationally.  There will be action both ways with a short line, I think with the different styles of play, this game could come down to coaching, and I'm pretty sure you know who I'd like in that match-up.  

FWIW, Memphis scares the living shit out of me if that's MSU's opponent Sunday.  As a #1 seed, Sparty should not be facing this talented of a team in the first weekend.  I thought Memphis could've been a #5.  I about spilled my beer when I saw them pop up as the #8 in Sparty's bracket.  

Lookin' forward to talkin' tourney hoops the next few weeks, let's win some more $

Obviously, its a long shot, hence the odds. However, I'm predicting a 27-4 or 26-5 record and a 3 or 4 seed for Mizzou. I dont think they lose until Jan 21st @ Baylor, but even that is winnable. Kansas and Baylor are the only threats in the Big 12, which is way down this year. Obviously every road game in conference will be a challenge like it is for every team.

The Tigers havent played anybody, this I know. ND and Cal got smashed and Cal is supposed to contend in the Pac 12, for what thats worth. Really excited to see the line vs Nova and Illinois as those will probably be the lone lined games in December (besides ODU on the 30th).

The Pressey brothers along with Dixon, English and Denmon are pretty solid on both ends of the court and provide a nice mix of leadership (3 sr, 1 jr, 1 soph). Moore, Ratcliffe and Green have been better than I anticipated..... 

I doubt you will see these odds for Mizzou much longer, and definately not come tourney time. I'm basically asking them to reach the Sweet 16, and then I can reevaluate and see what the future holds.

Win or lose, I will be in this thread til the end of March, or hopefully early April.

 

So let me hear how dumb/crazy/retarded I am.

Train, I have respect for your capping skills in football.  I don't follow hoops, so Idk if you are good at that like football, but would like your help here.

Can you email me your main bracket for the tourney?  I don't follow hoops so I am clueless.  I hurt my back at work Monday, so have a few weeks off.  Was hoping to chill at home with some painkillers and watch the actiion from my bed.  If I win, I will send you 20% of my winnings to you(should be around 250-300 bucks).

^^^^  Disregard Train.  I used an ESPN "expert" and slightly tweaked his bracket with some things I saw with the point spreads the books laid.

GL on the tourney with your wagers and brackets.

As I said a week ago.

Missouri has the same statistical chance in this tourney as Vermont.

No.  They didn't get past Norfolk State.

Sorry Train.
