Look I don't care if they win this game against Gtech or not, I have watched their last few games and I come away with the opinion that they aren't nearly as unbeatable as people think. They go huge stretches in games playing horribly and should never have been in the position they were against Duke (at home) or even worse Clemson....And how could you feel comfortable betting a Williams coached team when they do nothing but choke every year. Why will this year be any different?

You are right. They are a lazy and quite frankly poorly coached team. Someone with a lot of energy will knock them out, maybe early.

Illinois is not all that either. 14 turnovers and 35 % shooting in the 1st half vs an awful Minnesota team. That Nick Smith guy (Shawn Bradley body and Clay Aiken face) is a waste of height. How Minnesota is in the tournament and Memphis is out confuses me. On a neutral court Memphis would be favored over Minnesota. No team looks dominant at this point.

Lots of overrated teams out there that still have the capability to win a big game or two on talent alone. Arizona is getting overhyped now, but they have so many games where they just go out and don't seem to give 100%, but they seduce people with the way they play when they are motivated and things are clicking. Just like UNC.

They're playing lousy and still up by 6 at the half. Illinois is better at overcoming poor shooting because they play defense.

But I agree, no one is unbeatable at all. It's wide open for someone to get hot.

Right, other than the 3 times that they didn't find away. Will be 4th time today I think. Bit easier to come back on Clemson than on GT.

Ohio St season essentially ended with the win over the Illini. I don't even get why they bothered to play in the Big 10 tourney.

The team they are playing(Georgia Tech) is as good as anyone in the country. This is almost the same exact team that went to the finals last year. They have good guard play, play great defense, have depth ,an inside game and are getting close to 100% healthy. I think they make another run this year.

Ummm.......OK.

I don't think overrated is the term for N.C. They are lazy. They play when they have too....if they do this in the dance someone will suprise them.


IMO the ACC is overrated as a whole. The Big East is the best now, and for years to come.
