The Benchwarmer: 
All right, kids. I'm here, I'm ready for your questions, comments, flaming insults, whatever may be on the top of your head.

The general theme is the NCAA tournament, but we can go in whatever direction your little hearts desire. In the meantime, let 'er rip.

I think MSU fans should prepare their heart medication. If they Spartans can get past Temple, they probably won't get past a hot Pitt team.

ND shouldn't fall in the first round again. Unless they forget how to rebound.

Can Memphis or Kansas make a run ...seems like both fall short when they have such talented teams.

The Benchwarmer: 
I think Memphis has a great starting five, and depth is overrated in the NCAA tourney unless you're a team of hackers.

And Kansas just seems to be missing something this year. I don't feel good about them.

The Benchwarmer: 
Well, that's assuming Texas makes it that far. Which I don't think will happen since I like Stanford in that spot. But that could end up being uglier than the final 10 minutes of "No Country for Old Men."

I like Stanford in the Pac-10, but Oregon never should have made it in over Va. Tech or UMass. Washington State also is overrated and could fall to Winthrop in the first round.

I'm a fan of Billy Gillispie and think it took the players almost the full year to buy into his system. But the Wildcats are playing well right now and I think they matchup well with Marquette. But if the Eagles' shooters get hot, forget about it.

Without good guards the big men don't get the ball. But a good combo is vital. That's why I'm high on Stanford. And UNC. And UCLA.

I think the ACC will surprise people. They may not be deep, but the top teams are all quality squad.

It will come down to who wants their NBA stock to rise more. I'll go with Mayo, since Beasley already is going No. 1 in the draft. Mayo doesn't want to be another Harold Miner.

I agree completely. Somehow G-Town made it to my Final Four, even though I'm not a fan of Roy Hibbert and their guard play can be inconsistent. Whoops.
Tuesday March 18, 2008 11:15 The Benchwarmer

I think Carmelo Anthony proved that experience isn't necessary. Plus, Kevin Love is a beast and has been one all season long.

The Benchwarmer: 

That's assuming Arkansas can get by UNC, which I don't think they will. But scrappy teams do give ND fits because the Irish sometimes struggle to rebound and take care of the ball. But I think Eric Gordon gets one tourney win before heading for the NBA.
