Their best player is Jared Butler and Davion Mitchell is a DPOY candidate shooting 46% from 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Duke and Kentucky out of the tournament? UCLA vs. Michigan State as a play-in game? What a weird year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke my friend. I actually hope the Jazz draft Mitchell and force him to wear #54. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USC has an experienced group, is one of the best defensive teams in the country, is one of the biggest teams in the country, and will have the best player on the floor in Mobley if they play. Not to mention their head coach Andy Enfield has already made a deep run in the tournament with a small school. USC over Gonzaga is one of the upsets that I feel confident about. Mark Few has been known to come up short in the NCAA tournament. Edited March 15, 2021 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Few has been known to come up short in the NCAA tournament. That would be an elite 8 matchup to go to the final four. I don't trust USC to beat Iowa and Gonzaga in the same weekend. They likely would also have to beat Kansas if they stay in the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust USC to beat Iowa and Gonzaga in the same weekend. They likely would also have to beat Kansas if they stay in the tournament. They definitely have a tough path but they're talented, experienced, and balanced. KenPom currently ranks them at #14 with the 30th best offensive rating and the 19th best defensive rating. They have 3 experienced upperclassmen guards in Eaddy, Peterson, and White who all played a lot elsewhere before transferring into USC. And Eaddy is the only player in their starting 5 that is shorter than 6'7. Plus they have a big in Mobley that's capable of taking over the game on both ends of the floor and might be the best player in college basketball.

roger murdock Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Gonzaga is going to win every game by 15+ points. They are the best CBB team since ‘11 UK at a minimum but probably better. I never pick favorites because I don’t want to have to beat 20 other people who also picked the favorite to win my pool but this year there’s no point to picking anyone but Gonzaga when they have an easy path to F4, no weaknesses, 3 star players and tons of vet experience. They can do it all. Their only weakness is they’ve destroyed everyone all season and haven’t been challenged much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And USC has a talented team and lost in the Semi's to Colorado of the P12 tournament. Yes they have talent, but they have also underperformed with that talent, hence the 6 seed. They also don't have a history of success in the tournament. Enfield had one good run, but so did Shocka Smart. Its a solid upset pick, but you have to bet the underdog 4 games in a row to think that USC will be beating Gonzaga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 @NYRaider You ever do Fantrax's March Madness leagues? We have 11 guys in our league with 8 man rosters. We just finished up. Lots of dudes went with the depth guys on Baylor, Gonzaga, Houston (one dude took like 5 Houston guys lol). This is my squad. Don't even care if I only get 1 or 2 games out of half of them, they'll outscore the depth guys for the entire tournament IMO. I can PM ya the entire draft (we have 1 pick left) so you can get an idea of how these dudes went about it. Jalen Suggs | Gonzaga EJ Liddell | Ohio State Miles McBride | WVU Evan Mobley | USC James Bouknight | UConn Jeremiah Robinson-Earl | Villanova Moses Wright | Ga Tech Neemias Queta | Utah State 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
