5fouls Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 3 of the 4 teams in the Final Four this year play a style of ball I love. And, they are different styles. And, Kansas, the 4th team, has won something like 95 conference championships in a row. Man, I hope IU can put a team out there like any of these 4 teams starting next year.

Villanova is the better team, but Wagner is a difference make being a big that can shoot, pass, dribble, etc. I don’t know, I’m betting Nova will roll them. Nova’s guards are way more talented, and Spellman is going to eat Wagner’s lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Michigan has a chance, and Wagner can outplay Spellman, though Spellman could also outplay Wagner. That matchup will be a big key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 The only highlight of my otherwise dismal bracket is picking Villanova all the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellman basically hangs around the perimeter where Wagner is athletic enough to defend him, as compared to Azibuke from Kansas who couldn’t play on the perimeter. Also, Wagner will make Spellman defend him all over the court. There was literally a play last night where Wagner got the ball on the block and then dribbled out from the block to the three point line to drain a three. Not sure I’ve ever seen that from a big. Again, Nova is by far the better team, but Michigan has pieces that if they shoot well and Nova is off, they can definitely win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The committee picks them using their own judgement and whatever their criteria might be. And sometimes they just plug a team into a spot(seed) to make the bracket work out. Kind of like us in '01, when we got a #4. I could go on about it, but the "metrics" guys will find a way to refute my thoughts. You play who is in front of you regardless. Win and advance.

I thought we were a 5 that year. Regardless, your point remains the same. I think another good point on seedings being subjective was when we were a 5 yet again just a few years ago and played that poor 12 seed (sadly, I don't remember who it was). That IU team being a 5 seed was ridiculous imo. We could go on and on about seedings being 'off'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes......sometimes those seedings are a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
