Who is your sleeper tourney team

[RollTide7277]

You flying for 14AF, good sir?

I wasn't an officer: I worked for a living. Was a part of the 75th out of Pope.

I see. I asked because I saw your avatar.
My grandpa was an anti-air gunner for the Flying Tigers/14 AF when they were stationed in Kunming, China during WW2. He had quite a few pilot friends.

They have KSU as a 6 seed so I'll pick them.

 

[BeerPoisoning]

Virginia Tech. 41% as a team from 3pt prior to Robinson’s injury, it’s at 39% now — He’s projected to come back any time now. They’re a solid defensive bunch with some hot hands, what’s more dangerous in March?

Utah St
Buffalo
Kansas St

You are failing to put out a list...

Definition of a sleeper is a team 6 or below.
Because majority of the games will be as underdogs.

Even a 5 seed should get to the Sweet 16 as a 4/5 is 50/50.

Trying to find a reason to agree with you but after watching Texas last night there is no way in hell I can pick them as a sleeper against any of the Top teams or even close.

Do agree with ^^^ with SavageSpartan that those 3 teams are decent sleepers that could possibly win a few games.

Nobody picking South Carolina? Thought they would be a shoe in for a 1 seed after all the ass kicking they did.

South Carolina, UCF and Auburn are clearly the best teams in the country, so by definition they're not sleepers.

I’m going with K-State and Purdue.

Purdue will likely be a 3 seed. Not a sleeper

Loyola Chicago back to back! And then we all run a train on Sister Jean!

 

[Boilermaker03]

Gonna leave my LSU Homer out of this and say Houston. They are a really solid team that could make some noise. Texas Tech would be my other sleeper,

Houston was going to be my pick. They are going to make a run in the tourney. They should be a pretty high seed though, so not sure if that makes them a sleeper or not.

 

[Boilermaker03]

Texas is trash. 13 losses lol

Texas has some good wins though. 5 wins vs top 25 in current Kenpom rated teams. They are 26th in Kenpom as well. I think Texas is a decent sleeper pick.

 

[Boilermaker03]

Purdue

Liking the love but we won't exactly be a sleeper with the seeding.

He just picked Purdue to beat Loyola in the final four! I'll take it! TIC

They suck

No joke. Wonder why nobody else talks about them that way.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

I think Buffalo will win some games. They are a good little team.

 

[della]

I will stick with my Jayhawks. They will probably finish 3rd in the conference and because Grimes is now playing well be and elite 8 team.

Define what constitutes a sleeper.

 

[sgrooms]

I think Buffalo will win some games. They are a good little team.

You bring up a good point. They are the 223rd tallest team in the country. For comparison, Wofford is at 168th, and Houston is at 270th.

My sleeper team is a healthy Virginia Tech. They've really impressed me the last few weeks without Robinson. Beat Duke, almost won on the road vs FSU. Throw Robinson back in the equation and they're a top 10 team, but they're gonna go into the tourney with a 4 or 5 seed most likely.

Syracuse & Villanova- Both of these teams have the ability to put it together on a given night and smack a highly seeded team.

Alexander-Walker, Ahmed Hill, and Blackshear were very impressive last night. Hadn't seen an opponent confuse FSU like VT did in the first half in Tuck for a long time.
