Michigan and Arizona seem to be very good teams. Arizona knocked off UCLA and Michigan knocked off Illinois(among others).

BTW, my sister went to high school with Evan Turner of Ohio State, Demetri Macemy of Illinois, and Jonathan Peoples of Notre Dame. They all went to St. Joesph's High School in Illinois and my sister was a cheerleader. Just a bit of NCAAB trivia.

I refuse to acknowledge State College as a good location when there are cows 20 feet off-campus in nearly every direction. In general "leaving" should not be a good weekend activity for a college.

By the way, that's Ursinus.

Cows=win
Cows are awesome.
Cows are only off campus in one direction and its optional to have a cow, and the milk is used for the milk on campus
Cows kick a**
Not a lot of people leave for a weekend
Everyone who goes to Penn State loves it

[SuperTiger]

Football-
Penn. State>Pitt.
Bastketball
Pitt.>Penn. State
Campuses in General
Penn. State>Pitt.
Acedemics
Penn. State>Pitt.

i thought that was obvious lol


either way, as for realistic picks,

i'd go NC and UCLA to the national championship

[SuperTiger]

why r people saying UCLA odds of them getting to a 4th straight final 4 r like 0 they aren't as good as they have been in previous years i think there probably a 2nd round victom, Washington will go the farthest of the Pac-10 Schools

[bigblind168]

Well i know my opintion means next to nothing because i dont follow college bball, i get my bracket and somehow do well...

Either way, UCLA is still a good team and theyre well coached, and their UCLA

[The Chief]

Illinois baby! (That is a Vitale reference)

[SuperTiger]

Illinois will make some noise in teh tournament i like there style of play and i believe they'll go further than Michigan State. Illionis is 1 game back on MSU for the conference lead and this to meet again on March 1 in Champainge. I love Illinois balanced option attack...and they have 4 double digit scorers in Mike Tisdale, Mike Davis, Demetri McCamey, and Trent Meacheam with Dominque Keller as a good contributer..Illinois not only is a great team but there a young team..that looks very good on there resume not to mention they have a close lose to 21-4 Clemson ranked 2 in the ACC. Back to my point on UCLA..once again yes there UCLA..but it's like with Kentucky they've fallen off a cliff in recent years and have found a way to make the tournament and same goes for Arizona...the thing is UCLA doesn't have a great Resume Darren Colisen and Josh Shipp are there leading scorers and after that i cannot think of anyone of importance for UCLA, because Alfvred Aboya and Jrue Holiday average 9 points per game but only 8 rebounds(together) and 4 assist(together) and UCLA just doesn't stack up like they have in recent years, when they dominated the Pac-10 and this year Washington and Arizona State have the edge over them. California is ahead of UCLA with a tie breaker as well. Does a 19-6 record look good, indeed it does, they have Washington and California again, and Washington State and Stanford aren't pushovers so this team could end up on the bubble with 10 loses before its all said and done

[The Chief]

UCLA will probably make it into the tournament, but not because their UCLA, because they do well in the conference tournament and get the auto bid.

[bigblind168]

Ah finally somebody else knows how 2 change their display name llol

but yeh i think UCLA will win their conferrance

[SuperTiger]

dude do u have some kind of fetish for UCLA...Pac-10 Conference Records
20 Washington 10-3(1-0 vs. UCLA)
11 Arizona State 9-4(2-0 vs. UCLA)
California 8-4(1-0 vs. UCLA)
12 UCLA 8-4 (1-5 vs. ranked opposition) with that kind of record against ranked teams ODDS R against them

[SuperTiger]

Actually UCLA is 8-5...my bad
