NCAA Tournament Chat

if We makes a run ine BOTH the SEC and NCAA.... land Ramar and the other Kid... Why would he go anywhere...

and why would anyone want him to? isn't THAT what we hired him to do?

[sportscrazy]

I have watched all four and I think we would rather play Memphis.  I know they are good but I think AR would play above themselves against Memphis.

[Adam Stokes]

  It would certainly be the most exciting of the four teams, however I think Villanova would be a good match for us.  Our tall guards could pressure them as we did Tennesse and we could once again use our inside players to score some points.  We might end up laying a 1-seed if we don't finish well in the SEC Tourny

[sportscrazy]

I am with you on the size however I would be nervous where we might have to play against them.  With Memphis there would not be a major home court advantage anywhere except maybe Memphis and I don't see any of the sites in Memphis this year.

[aristotle]

The team that we do not match up very well with is Texas. If they win the Big 12 they will get a #1 seed. UConn and Villanova can't both with Big East Tourney. Texas has a dominating front court. Townes and Hill would both have to have the best nights of their early carreers for us to beat them.
Of course, I'm not saying it is impossible, just a tough matchup for our personnel.

[mossfan3]

I want Duke.  Maybe just because I can't stand them and Reddick is starting to wear down at the end of the year, again.

[sportscrazy]

One thing with Texas is if they are hitting the 3's or not.  They depend on them heavily.  If they are on we lose if not we win.

[geoffhog]

Memphis, just because I'd love to beat that a$$hole Calipari.

[94 Hawg]

good question, cause if we draw a 8 or 9 seed and win we would play the #1 seed in round 2
that 10 or 11 seed looks better now huh

[NuttsSacked]

Memphis.  Beat them and Calipari loses some recruiting footing in the area.

[sportscrazy]

I am with on Memphis.  Cali-cheatin-pari.  That guy is sketchy at best.

[Ugly Uncle]

Memphis.  I feel they are the weakest team.  Plus you are right...it might help recruiting in Memphis for us.

[razorbackfan4life]

Nova, they would have no answer for our big men.  We all have seen how we shut down Tennessee's guards also.  That would be our best chance.

[hogtheball]

I vote for Texas - just to see what HoginMemphis would say on the threads. 

[stronguard]

Mem-Piss would be my choice for a W.  But I would love another shot at ucONN.  We have seen them once and played them well on a neutral court.  Bet we could do a little better the 2nd time we played them.

[jrw11475]

Memphis, just because I'd love to beat that a$$hole Calipari.

I'm with you I have never liked that [CENSORED], even or more so when he was at UMASS.

[hogfan98]

villanova.  they are a more talented version of the team we beat yesterday.  but you can't teach size, so i would like our chances against them.

[lumphog]

Just watched U Conn beat Nova, and I think that Calhoun guy is going to be a pretty good coach.

[Illinihog]

I'd hate to Face 'Nova.  I'd Rather have Memphis or Texas.  I think we match-up better with those two teams.  We couldn't beat Nova in a Shoot-Out, and if they are hitting 3's that is what would transpire.

[big boes]

memphis.  easily the weakest team.  and the youngest.  someone will upset memphis early in the tourney.

[hogfan98]

we couldn't beat tennessee in a shootout either.

[Hogwild07]

Memphis would be our best chance for an upset.  My second choice would be Duke though.  I would want to beat them more than anything.

[dotnet]

I think Memphis would be the easiest team by far.  If we have to play a 1 or a 2 seed, I hope we play them. 

I really like our chances if we get to play anyone besides the four number 1 seeds and Texas.  I think we can hang with Ohio State, Gonzaga, or Pitt.  I wouldn't want to play the Illinois.

[Porky OLeary]

I think if michigan, michigan st, indiana, iowa, ohio st were to call, he'd be gone in a heartbeat.

When momma's not happy, ain't nobody happy.

[bosshawg38]

As for easiest, we may matchup better with Villanova, but if given the choice, give me Memphis. I'd love for the Hogs to have a shot at them. I'd also love to see a closeup of Calipari's face after a loss after his "high and mighty" Tigers fall to "poor little" Arkansas.

[othermac]

no question, memphis, stan would have made the last 3 years wothwhile if we get into the tourney and beat memphis. i would be a content and happy man, my year would be complete, not to mention that it would be just deserts for disrespecting calipari looking down at our program like he does.

[reddierazorback]

Just an update guys---everyone that predicted on this post were very accurate.

[reddierazorback]

by the way this was originally posted in oct.

[PiggoBitttys]

21 regular season wins - with a solid winning streak at the tail of the year - pushing us to a #7 NCAA at large seed.

Bacon out...

Nostradamus, is that you?

[ReverendRazorback]

Impressive. Very impressive. I am sure glad lion6877 was a little off!!!

[clemensrules01]

id rather play nova. memphis is REALLY good.

[Broken Trigger]

Memphis would be my pick as well.  I just think that would be a game that would be easy for the Hogs to get up for.

[clemensrules01]

good job bacon.

[Kevin]

nova-no big man, or memphis-an athletes game.  we just beat tenn who plays similar to both these teams

[whatsshakinbacon]

Bacon takes a bow...and wonders how he ever got lucky.

I hope the #7 pans out too.  I'd rather NOT be playing a #1 in game 2.

Bacon out...

[berryhog]

I would have to go with Memphis or Duke.  UCONN, IMO is the best team in college BB and I think Nova would be a matchup nightmare. 

[twistitup]

Memphis, we can kick their as* and I would love to piss off that a-hole hoginmemphis.

[Puerco Diablo]

It is all but certain that the Hogs are in the Dance. 

How will they finish the season, where will they be in the first round and what will be their seed?

I expect them to win out and win a game in the SECT. 

they get a 7 seed in Dallas/  WPS! :razorback:

[taintlint]

I say Mempfrica.

[taintlint]

Dallas, 7 to 9. UAB or Texass within the 1st two rounds.

[Puerco Diablo]

NOVA can't handle our size.

[jrw11475]

Way to early to try and guess.

[clemensrules01]

i think we will make a run in the SECT.

[taintlint]

Way to early to try and guess.

No. Not really. The sites are set. 85% of the teams with our potential seedings are obvious.

[1836hog]

I hope we end up playing the first weekend in Philadelphia and the second weekend in Washington, D.C.  I think it would be a great fit for the hogs.  AND...I live in DC, 2 hours south of philli.

A better fit than Barnhill South? Forget the cheesesteak, we need homecourt advantage.

Taint...your new avatar has me rolling on the floor.

[Hog_from_Tulsa]

it was greg doyle from cbs sportsline. theres a thread somewhere,  courtesy of woopigstewie

I love that thought.....but I've read some of Greg Doyle's other columns.....he sounds like a moron.....hopefully....the Hogs will prove him right

[stronguard]

I would love for us to play Nevada. Those WAC basketball teams just don't seem that tough.

I want to play the upper echelon teams.  As long as we are an underdog, lets make some noise by beating the UNC's, Indiana's and Arizona's instead of playing a team like Nevada that is roughly our equal (admit it) and winning a game we "should".  Lest we forget, our Hogs have a penchant for playing to the level of our competition.

[Queen Hog]

Memphis...who have they played that's good?  Besides I would like to see Calipari's face when we win.  That would be great!!!!!
