1st Round Predictions.

[Bleed Blue]

Well seeing as tomorrow is the day of truth whats everyone predictions on our frist visit to the dance in a decade?

I'll start off by saying I have us picked to win on the brackets I have submitted. I beleive it will be a very tight close game that will come down to us having more desire and pride to win.

I think our defense will be the key to this victory, rebounds will be key. Breaking their press will be a test for about 1 quarter of play.

I'm as much excited as I am nervous - man I love March Madness!

I am extremely excited but Im afraid to get to excited. Clemson is a bad matchup for M. I have faith and believe that the boys can win but it will be a tough game.

I have UM winning the first round in every bracket I've done, I'm a homer after all. I even have them beating OK in about half of them after all a Big 12 coach said they were over-rated. And in one of my brackets (I've done 5 so far) I even took them to the Elite 8! :p

GO BLUE!!!

Hell Jay Bilas thinks they can beat Clemson and will have no trouble at all with Oklahoma!

I took Clemson so it would be a win win situation for me but would much rather have UM win the game. I think UM has a great shot if they come out and hit their 3's early and do not turn the ball over vs Clemson's press.

Those are the three keys to the game... 1) good perimeter shooting, 2) limit turnovers, and 3) handle the Clemson press

You're gonna shit all over UM for a chance at a few lousy bucks that you prolly won't win anyway? Shame on you. UM card revoked!

Disclaimer: Since I think emoticons and smilies are gay so I'll never use them I must say that this post is somewhat tongue in cheek and not meant to disparage Falco's fanhood in a serious way. Although it does bear mentioning that he may want to rethink his brackets just a little. We play for a few hundy and every last person in our brackets has UM advancing at least one. Just sayin'.

Northridge better go away or I'm screwed. This shit always happens, lose my final four before the weekend even starts. I should do what my wife does, pick the school based on mascot.
