You said it an 18-19 year old freshman PG turns it over...a senior PG doesn't especially one with the pose of Clemente....the statistics tell the tail.

Pitt shot 39% and still had to chances to tie the game in the dying seconds....thats all I need to see.

Holloway and Clemente have the exact same assist to turnover ratio.  I was merely pointing out that the factors you said simply do not have an impact on the game imo.  Never said I was on xavier no matter what.  and holloway is a sophmore not a freshman.  I dont really like to get into a discussion like this in someone elses thread, i started one myself.

I agree with all your leans except I like Ohio State and Northern Iowa. I only have Michigan State as 2 points better than Northern Iowa and that's with Lucas. Without Lucas I actually think Northern Iowa should be favored in this game.

The key to attacking Cuse's zone is whether or not Butler puts Hayward in the middle of it or Howard.  I would imagine they put Hayward in there. 

One of the biggest myths in basketball is that the 2-3 zone is killed by good three-point shooting teams.  Sure, it helps to have good shooters around the zone, but the biggest part is getting someone in the middle of it (free throw line) who can do three things with the ball - pass, drive and shoot.  If they get Hayward in there, he can do all three.

The good shooters create the entry point that you speak of. If you don't pull the Syrcuse guards outside the arc there isn't enough space to drop the ball in. Therefore no makey your tres no breakey the zone !

I really think Cuse handles them here, along with KState. Id love to hear ur thoughts on these games before locking them in. I Think Butler is really outmanned here and would love to hear a more in depth opinion as to why you lean butler. Thanks buddy and BOL

Yah b/c Matt Howard is going to dominate vs Rick Jackson, Riley and Wes Johnson..... sometimes I think you people just like to hear yourself talk. I will be on butler +6.5 not b/c of their post play but their guard play. Nored, Mack and Hayward is where the mismatch is!

then again, i didn't lay my tourney bankroll on Wake vs. KY.

UNC...much respect here and I am not hating just confused. 

First of all, he has 100k views because he is using one thread for 3 weeks worth of picks.

Secondly, all you read in here is BOL and GL, he has not posted anything in a while.  Let's see the picks first before everyone kisses his ass.
