st joes hasnt played anyone with gaurds that can match their speed. in the tourament they will play such an opponent by the sweet 16. if not, shortly there after. if you can match the amazing st.joes gaurds 1-1 on the defensive end you will greatly expose all their weaknesses.'

and as for stanford, two miracle wins and a loss. they will be done no later than 16 also. the tribe has spoken, these two regualar season side shows must go.

anytime i talk about whats going to happen, always read my posts with the voice used in the old nostradamus documentary.

for a good refrence read my write up on the notre dame / michigan football game. i start off by saying "today's game will be a disgrace to the rivalry" its ill. youll be hard pressed to find anyone who posts about future sporting events better than I.

Rob, I am in 100% agreement with you. St. Joes is a bozo school in probably one of the weakest conferences ever. They may be the 1st #1 seed to be bounced in the first round. All these clowns around here who keep boasting that they got them at a great price in a future should have just gave the money to charity instead of the books.

Stanford has been lucky to have been unbeaten until today, no miracle shot to save them at Washington. I think they will make it to the sweet 16 before being bounced.

Nothing like the tourney and this year we are going to have some real suprises. I have 2 number one seeds gone by the elite 8!!

Stanford will win the WHOLE thing, Davis coming back. Washington would beat any team in the country at home. StJoe is the one who wont get past the Sweet 16.

Dante:

They are a deserving #1 seed. This was a spot for an upset and actually will help the Cardinal focus in the Pac10 Tournament as well as the NCAA Tournament. That being said, their success in the Big Dance will depend on which teams are sent West. Expect them to reach the Sweet 16. Beyond that will depend on who is still left standing in the Western bracket.

St.Joes if they make it to the Sweet 16 will not go any further! They'll make it that far as long as their 3's still hit the hole!!

Stanford has to still get a #1....it doesn`t hurt them at all...

St Joes, who can knock them? All they`ve done is won all their games...If ever a little team could go all the way this would be the year...there are no dominant teams any longer...they will go as far as their 3 point shooting will carry them...anything can happen in March!

Ruined the game for me; 3 point shot.

I think the majority like it though.

St. Joes vs. Duke,(WHO WINS)?? Whoever hits there 3's, right?? Look what happened to Duke a few days ago when their 3's weren't falling at home! ANYTHING can happen! Hell you might see a 6 or 7 seed win this year!

Feist is right, wouldn't surprise me at all to see a 4-7 seed win it, heck a team like Missouri if it gets on a roll could run the table.

Missouri will be a dangerous team in the big dance! If not they are a shoe in to win the NIT! I THINK??

Moving it back will be as bad. Do away with, but it isn't going to happen is it?

St. Joes gets no respect. That is good because it allowed me to get a great odds price on the future. After they win it all, they probably will still get no respect but who cares.

Rail is right, Huskies can beat just about anyone at home right now. If rankings were just based on current form they would easily be a top 20, if not top 10 team. Stanford ran out of gas, I could see it coming last game.

What I don't get is how people see all these teams being better than St. Joes or Stanford. Please tell me who they are??? There are no super teams this year, even Duke looks very beatable here in March. Ok State is running over a weak year for the Big 12. The Big 10 is horrendous. A 10 may not be much this year, but no one else is. This year is just so wide open, I don't think anyone will even assert themselves in winning the title. I think it will come down to who gets a nice draw and then just gets it done on those nights when things don't all go their way.

I've followed St Joe's all season and they are a good team. They have four 3 point shooters and 2, Nelson and West, players that can penetrate. Jameer's floor game is almost flawless and their perimeter defense is solid.
I think they are an Elite Eight team. With all the buzz in the city, anything less would be disappointing. They are better than the '88 Temple team IMO.
Still not highly regarded by most Col. BBall fans. I wonder if this will lead to betting value on St Joe's. I think they are 16-10 ATS. Stay tuned the games are coming!

Best Wishes
Gary
