It's time to pick your final four !

kermit16 · Feb 27, 2005

So much happens in the Big dance that I always like to hear others opinions ! It seems like yesterday that Arizona came in as the 5 th. best in Pac Ten or close to that and went on to win it all with a freshman guard by the name of Bibby leading the way. Right now I like North Carolina, Ill. Okl. State and Wake ! OK. not a very bold foursome but they are my favorites at this junction. Let's hear someone else as March madness is almost upon us ! Gotta love this time of year !

too early to tell.....

Sherman,
Too early to tell ? What are you waiting for ? When are you going to step up and make a choice ? When We have it widdled down to the elite 8 ? You can still get great odds on lot of contenders. Stick your neck out there and take a guess ! That's what We are doing ! It's free !

80-1 to win the title at Pinny. BTW, I like the pick, they are a solid squad. Hope the Illini don't have to play them.

I'm on it.

Kornholio,
Pacific is 80/1 at Pinnacle as We speak. If you like long shots, Take a close look at Michigan state at 40/1. They are playing good !

No kidding. There is a lot of value with Michigan St at 40-1. Even though the Illini spanked them on the road, they are good.

Don't think MICH St. has a chance. I just think Pacific is a solid squad that has flown way under the radar because they are Pacific.

Illini,
I bet Ill. at 3/1 to win the big Ten at the Plaza here in Vegas and the Mich. St game was my biggest worry. Ill. are looking great but Mich. State will most likely be in a different bracket and could cause some damage in the big dance ! Good luck with Ill.

Kornholio,
I love Pacific also and I won on them tonight but it takes 6 straight wins in the big dance to win it all and I feel Pacific is perhaps good enough to win 3 but beyond that it will be a stretch .... IMO

Kornholio · Feb 27, 2005

I will take the leap and say final four. If I could get odds on final 4 I would bet it. But if all i get is 80-1 for the title I will bet it. If they make the final 4 I will hedge. They are THE Cinderella this year IMO.

You know the final 4 is not really gonna be Wake, ILL, NC, Ok St. It never works out like that. Those are just the favorites.

Pacific is 150/1 at sportsbetting.com

Kermit, thanks bro. We are so excited around here, cause this has been a dream season. I like our chances, and I fully expect this team to cut down the nets. But it won't be easy- one bad night and you go home. I was such an idiot for not taking them to win the Big Ten. I saw 3-1 also, and Mich St was 2-1 at the time. Talk about a bad line. I usually don't play futures, though, so I didn't give it a lot of thought when I saw it.
