ophion1031 Posted January 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Didn't see a thread yet, so figured I would start one. Looks like Kentucky is going to be tough to beat this year. Good to see the Big 12 have so many teams ranked and a couple of others sitting just outside the top 25. Go Cyclones!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKing Posted January 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Kentucky wins it all this year! Nothing else to say,i am not really much of a b-ball fan...But Kentucky wins it again...That is all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynGuy Posted January 4, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks for the thread Ophion. I have been a Syracuse, Notre Dame and an old Big East Conference fan forever. The Orange are having an off year by their standards and the Fighting Irish a very good one so far. Conference play is starting so we will get to see who the pretenders and the contenders are. Kentucky has the most talented team no doubt, their bench could probably make it to the Elite 8. What makes it interesting is that any team can have an off night or an injury could sideline a key player and it's one and done in March Madness. My early picks for the Elite 8 are: Villanova Kentucky West Virginia Louisville Wisconsin Arizona Penn State Northern Iowa is my Cinderella pick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ophion1031 Posted January 11, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Iowa State pulled off a nice road win against WVU tonight. Kentucky has been surviving close ones in OT lately. Pretty surprised by that. I agree with you on Northern Iowa. They are really tough. Got a good laugh when they beat Iowa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiobituary Posted January 15, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2015 #11 Iowa State falls to #22 Baylor on the road tonight. BOO!!! They were down 17 but fought back and missed a game winning shot at the end. Kansas up next, Saturday on ESPN. Go Cyclones! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynGuy Posted March 1, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Two weeks away from The Tournament. My updated elite 8 picks. Can anyone beat Kentucky?

Bama13 Posted March 6, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Two weeks away from The Tournament. My updated elite 8 picks. Can anyone beat Kentucky? Villanova Kentucky West Virginia Notre Dame Wisconsin Arizona Wichita State Northern Iowa I certainly hope so. I remember that at Alabama around this time of year you'd hear a lot of "Anybody but Kentucky!!" Still feel that way today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelaw1 Posted March 18, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm a big UK fan. Kentucky is certainly beatable. I doubt we win it all. Too much history against us. I am hoping for the best but preparing to be let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama13 Posted April 2, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Last weekend slate of games were excellent. Even the Zags/Duke game was close til the end. Pulled for ND over Kentucky while trying not to puke (sorry Brooklyn Guy). Hoping for an all B1G final, with Wisky winning it all. But if I have to I will pull for Duke over Kentucky. ANYONE BUT KENTUCKY!! Basketball makes for strange bedfellows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
