i know i shouldn't look ahead, but....

round 2 likely opponent... baylor.

LOVE to win that one.
 
South Dakota State is a slightly tricky first round draw for Baylor. Capable of making things interesting IMO
 
yeah, when i went to fill out my bracket. i'm not exactly mr. basketball, if you haven't surmised. old news is still news to the man who knows little. :rofl:

That's a tough draw for Baylor. Wolters is a very nice guard who can break a team down, they've got excellent shooters, and they're disciplined. Baylor's length might be too much for SDSU, though. SDSU has nothing inside.

Yup, they've definitely got a shooters chance. If Baylor comes out shaky and SDSU keeps it close, look out. Seth Davis is picking SDSU for the upset, FWIW.
 
Double-digit Upsets

1. Belmont (Midwest 14): They’re efficient, well-coached and experienced. Georgetown isn’t the best matchup for the Bruins, but it’s better than Wisconsin last year.

2. Montana (East 13): Now, Wisconsin this year is extremely vulnerable. The Badgers lost to Iowa twice. The Grizz went 1-1 against tournament teams.

3. South Dakota State (South 14): The Jackrabbits can run with Baylor, beat Washington by 19 and have a legit scoring stud in guard Nate Wolters.



EDIT: From the same article:

Overrated



1. Connecticut (South 9): Kemba Walker isn’t coming through that door. Don’t pick a team a year late. Not the same team, not by a long shot.


2. Baylor (South 3): Stayed in the headlines by opening 17-0, but hadn’t beaten anyone good until a Big 12 semifinal upset of Kansas. Pretty weak for a 3 seed in an otherwise difficult bracket.


3. Virginia (West 10): Great star (Mike Scott) and great coach (Tony Bennett), but the Cavaliers are 4-6 over their past 10 and struggled to the finish.

Scott Drew is also the type of coach that would do something foolish like try and play zone against SDSU. Just sayin.
 
**** Baylor.

Question. There's been a lot of talk about "length" in basketball recently. Is this a relatively new term? Does it mean the same as height or is it more specific to limbs?

I'll be honest, it makes me a little uncomfortable when Nik says things like "Baylor's length might be too much for SDSU". I know it's childish, but it still sounds odd.

Also, **** Baylor.

Not new, to me at least. It is height, wingspan, and quickness together. Has to do with rebounding (specifically offense) and defense in closing up driving and passing lanes. Dre and Spencer are our only players with those three things.

You still giggle when an announcer says that a guy is heading to the sideline for a blow, don't you?
