March is a coming.
I opened this thread to hear some thoughts on which teams you think will be tough outs and why.
The one thing that has been killing me lately is the style of play of some of these teams.
It is so frustrating as a Pitt fan to watch them burn a whole shot clock in the 2nd half of games when they are down 13. No sense of urgency for them ever. And they are 10 deep. There are teams who only play 7 or 8 guys who put more pressure on teams than Pitt. No press, very little ball pressure ..
Another example.
You have a team like MIAMI HURRICANES who gets themselves caught up in a low scoring game tonight and almost got dumped.... PUSH THE TEMPO. GET THE BALL INSIDE . No they shoot 25 threes, make 2 of em and barely escape .... After watching them tonight I may play against them in round 1 of the tourney cause they showed me they can get themselves caught up in a SNOOZE FEST of a game and allow an inferior team to control tempo.
I watched VCU on Thursday ... They get after you and they are athletic and deep and they play hard.
I like VCU to make a deep tourney run ...
Watch out for OKLAHOMA ST . They are winning games , because they score points.
Their last loss is to Baylor on Jan 21.. They only scored 54 ... Since then they scored
80
78
85
69
72
91
84
They've won 7 straight , averaging 80 points a game..
Huge games coming up for OKIE DOKIE... HOME GAMES ..
They get Kansas on Wednesday
Post your thoughts on the teams you've been following. Who do you think is going to be dangerous in the tourney and who do you plan on riding come tourney team.
I've listed two ...
