Yes SDSU hasnt lost in forever I've watched a few of their games, they won some awfully close games in the Summit and their defense is porous.

I was bored and saw people ask for game threads so I added one for each NCAAT game, with a poll to pick the winner of each game too.

The poll is a nice touch, thanks.

The midwest appears to have the most reasonable path to New Orleans, kinda like last season's gift final 4 run for Houston. Should be a fun part of the bracket and hopefully Providence and Creighton are right in middle of all the chaos.

The fact that SDSU is the trendy pick means they won't win. Friars got this one.

Nice tipping off early Thursday.
That way when the Jackrabbits bounce us by 40 we can get it over early, haha.

Adam Vinatieri is of course a Jackrabbit alum... dude was clutch and provided some great sports memories for us New Englanders.

To be honest, the hundreds of pundits and doomsayers have kinda gotten into my head, but the sound of veteran Brad Nessler's voice will be soothing.

This. Trendy picks usually fail. I also like the Friars over an over-hyped/trendy Iowa, who everyone seems to love for their late season beatdowns in an overrated Big Ten.

I believe Winthrop was that trendy 12 last season.

Agree with you about Iowa. People overrate the shit out of conference tournament results.

I read this morning that AJ Reeves is a game time decision. Banged up in the Creighton game.
