your Spartans? Do you have a connection?


anyhow, is someone doing a bracket thing again this year? I don't recall who's put it together in previous years.

No connection. I'm just a fan of them and have been for about 10 years. It comes down to Izzo. If he left, my fandom would probably go with him. I've always had an affinity for teams who are tough and physical and back down to no onw. It's why I started liking the Jazz in many ways. Not like they represent that now though.
 
I think you would be pretty safe if you stayed away from picking any Western teams to make deep runs this year. SDSU (-) their 4 good bigs from their deep run last year aren't going to do anything. Colorado State is garbage. Gonzaga/New Mexico/BYU/Saint Mary's/UNLV have enough talent to make a run, but they would have to play out their minds really to even get to 16. Maybe college basketball as a whole is just down this year though? Which means that sexy 2012 NBA draft that everybody is eying could just be fool's gold.

gotta agree - Izzo is one of my favorite college coaches, he runs a clean program and a tight ship, and does a good job developing players and getting them on the same page. I've always loved watching his teams. Plus my distaste for the Wolverines goes way, way back - so I've always felt compelled to support their in-state rival Spartans.

Would not surprise me at all to see them in the Final Four.
 
Just saw that Melo has been ruled ineligible for the tourney. There goes my Syracuse pick...changed it to UNC.
 
BYU still standing. I don't know how, but they came back. Of course, it was only Iona. Still a win is a win in the post-Fredette era.
 
So which "mid-major" is going to win it at all? I think this will finally be the year that one of them does. Duke going down in round 1 never sucks.
