Pairings You Want in the NCAAT

[BasketBallJunkie-UK]

I'm wanting another KU vs UNC since Roy doesn't like to play them...

UK vs Duke let the freshman go at it lol. I doubt that many frosh has been on the floor at the same time....

Cincy vs X love that series....

 

[JohnHoosierr]

Ku vs unc and uk vs duke... Wow, imaginative match ups.

 

[WojoRising]

Ku vs unc and uk vs duke... Wow, imaginative match ups.

Yours were even better!

 

[JohnHoosierr]

Yours were even better!

Not as good as yours tho.

 

[rockycard]

Louisville vs anybody....pipe dream

 

[CB3UK]

Kentucky v 6 cupcakes

 

[UNC71-00]

Luke Maye vs BBN

Also would like to play Villanova

 

[RR30]

Duke vs Texas A&M at full strength
Villanova vs Michigan State
Kentucky vs Kansas rematch
UNC vs Arizona
Purdue vs Virginia

 

[denniden]

At some point, UNC & Duke have to meet up in the tournament, right?

 

[GE Nole]

Any team that isn't strong on the offensive glass.

You would think. Only been in the FF together once. Could have met in the championship game if they held their end of the bargain.

Duke vs Arizona State. Bobby Hurley vs Mike Krzyzewski. Student vs teacher. Would be bitter sweet for K, but victory would be the only thing to celebrate for Hurley.

Twice. 1966 in the Final Four and 1978 in the title game. UK is 2-0 in those games and 3-2 in the NCAA overall. UK has scoreboard in the NCAA Tournament, '98. That's the game where UK came back from 18 down in route to their 7th title.

EDIT: And Duke is living rent free in my head. My bad.

Purdue vs Virginia

Weird pairing. Why do you want to see this one?

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Of course The obvious blue blood matches, but some other teams I'd like to see UK run into:

(Oklahoma) has somewhat of a storyline with TY, and it'd be fun to watch SGA try to shut him down/limit him.

(Michigan) always enjoy playing them and has a storyline with Charles Matthews.


I agree with Duke vs ASU. Would be an offensive clinic and Hurley vs K would be cool.

I'd also like to see some SEC teams get big time matchups.

 

[BasketBallJunkie-UK]

Ku vs unc and uk vs duke... Wow, imaginative match ups.

You're just sore cuz no one wants to see your team play anyone. They probably won't make the dance anyway.

 

[ThroughBlue]

I’ll blindly take Dukes bracket right now

 

[Dattier]

Done!

Kentucky v 6 cupcakes

 

[RR30]

Weird pairing. Why do you want to see this one?

No real reason besides both teams are ranked higher on advance metrics than your rankings on traditional polls. Also you vs Purdue fans would be fun.

 

[JimboBBN]

I don't think UK would do well against Duke right now. I'll take UK vs the 6 worst teams in the field.

 

[ThroughBlue]

I meant that I would take the bracket that Duke is awarded not to be placed in Dukes bracket.

I was thinking the same thing, why would anyone want to watch Virginia unless they're suffering from insomnia.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Well if Duke is awarded the easiest bracket, as you imply, then Kentucky will surely be in it.

How many times has that happened?

I’ll take Dukes 2 or 3 seed though. that means we won’t play a power five team until we actually do play Duke unless they get shot out by some nobody because they won’t guard

That joke is as tired as the people watching a UVA game

 

[ChiTownSean]

WVU v Cincinnati

Or any of those teams from the old but newish big East

 

[dukedevilz]

Duke vs. Michigan State: Title Game. Potentially the two best teams
Arizona State vs. Villanova: Highly-skilled playmakers. Could be 90+ points for both teams.
Saint Mary's vs. Oklahoma: Watch Saint Mary's run offense. It's a thing of beauty.. and Trae Young, of course, is must-see tv.
North Carolina vs. Arizona: Efficient offenses and elite programs.
Portland State vs. West Virginia: Full-Court press, 40 minutes, both ways.
Cincinnati vs. Virginia: Defensive juggernauts. It's not for every fan, but low-scoring games are fun when teams are actually playing sound defense.

 

[MileHighSpartan]

MSU vs. 6 underdogs that can't shoot 3's and each won their previous game in Triple OT.

 

[DeanSmithForever]

Witchita State vs Kansas
Gonzaga vs Villanova
Notre Dame vs Kentucky
Arizona vs UNC
Michigan State vs West Virginia
Duke vs Arizona State
Florida State vs Purdue
Xavier vs Miami

 

[boilerzz]

Purdue vs. Central Florida - Would love to see Isaac Haas (7'2, 290) and Matt Haarms (7'3, 250) matched up against Tacko Fall (7'6, 270).

Kentucky v 6 cupcakes

So like every other year.

 

[VAWildcat15]

So like every other year.

Clearly you've never watched a single NCAAT game featuring Kentucky if you think we normally play cupcakes.

@Danger 35 Zone got three fishes with that lure.

Come back when the ncaa pairs you with Lehigh and Mercer.

I know Duke has the chance to be pretty good if people are already making weak attempts to invalidate even hypothetical success.

If you’re just now thinking duke has the chance to be pretty good maybe basketball isn’t your sport
