Which team will get two covers and get to sweet 16

[BUNK MORELAND]

i want you guys to give me the one team you feel has the best chance of not only winning their first two games, but get two covers ..

I like Wake Forest - good team out of one of the best conference vs. Cleveland St then vs Utah / Arizona winner ... I think they have an easy time vs Cleveland State and then take care of business vs Utah or Arizona ..

my second pick would be Oklahoma or Gonzaga ..

appreciate your insight !!!

I kind of had western kentucky as my team for this. I think they either beat or keep it real close with illinois and then could potentially beat gonzaga or the team that would be there if gonzaga doesnt advance. Some of these players were here last year and they don't really have any staunch team to go up against. I'm a believer that gonzaga isn't really too good of a team. Illinois plays defense, but as we all know they have the hardest time scoring at times.

BUNK ---

think I got the exact opposite of you, I like Cleveland State to cover and pull out the upset, Jackson, Bullocks and co. are for real, Wake needs to dominate the glass big time in that game, if not I have the feeling CSU is gonna pull the upset....Daws I like WKent as well man, them and Cleveland State are my dog ML's im gonna be on...

I like Memphis to roll through the first 2 rounds, ATS and SU, I also like Marquette's draw, they should handle Utah State easily, I really dont think USU is nearly the team their record indicates, and then I like the guard play of MArquette to be able to handle Mizzou's press and then beat them

I'm going with Miss. State. Think they beat Wash outright, and then will be getting 8+ vs Purdue. Look for a surprise run to the sweet 16 for the Bulldawgs.

i think it will be very tough for miss st. to beat washington which is virtually a home game for washington.

Interesting stat I found. A #14 did not cover last year and covered only once in '07. looking at the rest of the seeds ATS. Since '04.

#16 : 9-11
#15 : 11-9
#14 : 8-12
#13 : 9-11
#12 : 8-12
#11 : 7-13
#10 : 5-15
#9 : 10-8-2

With that said, I like Texas A&M to beat up BYU and give UCONN all they can handle.
I'll take them covering 2.

Got that too Nicky and DukiesBaby! Good stuff to look at......:thumbs:


I like Gonzaga for two covers and wins thru the first two rounds. I have a sneaky feeling that they blowout the Zips in the battle of the Z's.....Zips N Zags! Then the Zags will be a another short dd fav against the Hilltoppers and win that one by 20! If they get Illinois I look for them to be a small favorite and win by 10-12 anyway.......Boomer Sooners also a great possibility!

And may I just state again for the record and the 10,000th time.....I agree with FultonStreetBlues.....well, I mean, I love his avatar! :thumbs:
