1 vs. 16

utvol0427 · 02-20-2007, 03:50 PM

Does anyone think that a 16 seed will ever upset a 1 seed in the tournament? If I remember correctly, last year Vermont gave UConn all they wanted for 30-35 minutes.

I'm sure somewhere sometime it will happen, but I won't hold my breath.

Princeton had Georgetown on the ropes. ETSU had Oklahoma staggered. Western Carolina should have beaten Purdue. Eventually, somebody will pull it off.

It was Albany, not Vermont.

I hope Tennessee never receives a number one seed, because it is our luck that we would be the first one to lose.

There were a couple 1v16 games that were close last year, at least for a while.

Duke/Southern, Nova/Monmouth, and UConn/Albany. I just don't think the 16's have the stamina to hang with a #1 seed for the whole game. It will happen eventually.

Yeah, everyone knows we play better as underdogs in all sports.

It'll definatley happen and before very long is my guess.So many teams from the smaller conferences or mid majors can beat anyone in the country on a given nite these days. Also when it happens I think it'll be a Big 10 or Pac 10 team that goes down.

Why not an ACC powerhouse? The tallest trees in the forest always fall the hardest. On terms of name recognition, the two schools with easily the biggest ball programs in the country are just down the road from eachother.

The Southern Conference needs better play out of its two flagship programs, UTC and College of Charleston. Bob McKillop is holding up his end of the equation at Davidson.
