Has to be FSU. Yup, WVA in now.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:05 pm

Zags get either WV or ND in the round of 16, two real good teams

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:06 pm

#2!!!!!!!

Saint Mary's/VCU 2nd round matchup

baconus66 · Post by **baconus66** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:06 pm

Not too scared of ST Mary's or VCU at all

rgdeuce · Post by **rgdeuce** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:07 pm

Gonzaga isnt coming out of that top

baconus66 · Post by **baconus66** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:07 pm

FGCU could easily beat FSU

baconus66 · Post by **baconus66** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:08 pm

So could Maryland

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:08 pm

Xavier ugh

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:08 pm

#2 in the west. Hell yeah! I don't mind St. Marys in the second round.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:08 pm

For the first time I can remember I really like the draw.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:08 pm

for the CATS. Just do what you do.

This bracket is not bad for us at all!

qwertyus · Post by **qwertyus** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:08 pm

TBH, pretty damn mad that UNC is a 1. 7 freaking losses. That's like a CFP team with 4 losses. ACC getting the SEC treatment x2.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:08 pm

these guys are jokers with their commentary.

baconus66 · Post by **baconus66** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:09 pm

No chance Xavier gets to the 16

Agree

baconus66 · Post by **baconus66** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:09 pm

I'm really happy with the draw, it's all in our hands now.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:10 pm

The west is going to fall apart. I hope we can take advantage and get to the FF.

That's legit. It will always be difficult, but this is a decent path. I could see some upsets happening. The West is probably the easiest region.

Main Event · Post by **Main Event** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:10 pm

I like that draw

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:11 pm

I love our path!!!!

baconus66 · Post by **baconus66** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:11 pm

We have the best draw of any 2 seed, and a better draw than Zaga and UNC imo

You should. It's the easiest path to the FF in the brackets this year.

Gladiator Cat · Post by **Gladiator Cat** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:14 pm

Guys I'm not BS'ing, **** the FF........lets go win this whole thing.

If we get some balanced officiating crews that let them play, we can take the whole thing.

This is the best time of year! The cats are gonna take care of business!

Gladiator Cat · Post by **Gladiator Cat** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:19 pm

Sean is licking his chops. The Cats can run this bracket no problem.

The Cat team I've been watching can beat every team in this bracket and most by double digits.

RaisingArizona · Post by **RaisingArizona** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:19 pm

Damn PJC is tiny

I'm with you my gladiator friend.

ChooChooCat · Post by **ChooChooCat** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:20 pm

If you believe in Kenpom's metrics he has St. Mary's ranked as the #14 team, which is higher than Oregon, UCLA, and us.

rgdeuce · Post by **rgdeuce** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:21 pm

Grant Hill is that dude.

RaisingArizona · Post by **RaisingArizona** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:22 pm

3/4 of the final four being from the PAC is possible. Only happened once back in 1985.

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:23 pm

Thank God we didn't get #1 in the South, playing in Memphis, Kentucky's back yard would've been tough

Yes sir my friend, and I'm being serious. We finally got a break after years of BS.

Not saying it won't take an effort but this Cat team is primed to take this region. Sean get's to the FF and maybe more.

Rarely is the NCAA tourney a cakewalk. When was the last time the champion hasn't been tested at least once in the tourney? The competitive edge is really a fine line. And the tourney is a crapshoot. True I like the Cats chanches, but they can't take any game for granted. The best team loses far more than we think.

I completely agree, I just think the Cats bracket will work in our favor. We are solid in every respect and if truth be told I think we're the best team from top to bottom.

I think we win it.

It seems like Oregon is going to get slept on b/c of the Boucher injury. I think that's a mistake.

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:31 pm

Oregon has to face Michigan, bad luck all around
