Re: Shady's NCAA Tourney
Gonna write up the Cuse game because i am bored and i want to save Okla backers thier money. Have yet to lose a 5 unit play in this thread and not starting here.
I have been waiting to fade Okla for over a month now and here is the spot. Okla is a great team, we know this, but not as great as everyone thinks. Syracuse is the perfect team and matchup to fade OKla with IMO. If Griffin thinks he can intimidate this Cuse team like he did all the wack big 12 teams he saw all season he will be mistaken. I can't imagine anyone intimidating Onuaku, and this is one of the only NBA type bodies Griffin has seen all season. Here's the deal, Cuse is playing as well as any team in the tourney or planet right now. There Zone D has really gel'd and they are playing like a team, not a bunch of me 1st assclowns. I mean where does Okla have the advantage in this matchup. Flynn is the best point on the floor,the 3pt shooting ability of Rautins and Devendork trumps Okla, and imo Paul Harris and Willie Warren are about a wash. If you have been waiting to fade OKla as i have, then this Big East team is almost the perfect draw for it. Truth be told these teams are very even. However, you put Cuse in the Big 12 and Okla in the BIg East and things would look different.
Look at OKla's last 10 games, of those 10, i would say 2/3 are against above average/good teams, Kansas, Mizzou and Okla St....and they just so happen to have lost to all of them. Look at Cuses last 10 and the only thing you can say is holy shit, they are playing well, and they are...Cuse is playing better ball, they are from the better conference, they are built for tourney's, and they have the athletes, size and more importantly, the MOXY to beat this Okla team.
