Round 1:

Dayton @ Georgia Tech -- Dayton

George Mason @ Villanova -- Villanova

Indiana @ Mississippi -- Mississippi

Boston @ Kansas State-EMAW BIG!

Round 2:

Dayton Vs Villanova -- Villanova

Mississippi Vs Kansas State --Kansas State (will be a helva good game but we are simply too much in the front court and can match their speed in the backcourt)

Championship
Kansas State Vs Villanova -- Villanova Very torn on this choice.  Sloppy KSU=loss.  Poised KSU could easily see them upset 'Nova. :hope:

Bonus:  Consolation Games:

George Mason Vs Geog Tech -- Georg Tech

Indiana Vs Boston -- Indiana

Very tender moment should Frank and Jay Wright match up in the final.  Hard for these two warriors to go head to head given their long history of BFFing.  Another earlier story line will be when Frank goes to shake Andy Kennedy's hand and does the pull hand away and sweep down the side of hair trick showing Andy that he is far superior to him sexually.

That is a very difficult 3 to make....

that's a pretty good breakdown, mavrick.  While I hate looking past opponents, I think we'll destroy BU.  Good warmup game.  I'd hate to see us trip up in the 2nd round but, unfortunately, I see this as a possibility.  

I hope I'm wrong.  Would love to matchup with 'Nova in the Finals.  

I'll predict that our success in our 2nd and 3rd rounds will be in direct correlation with Clemente.  The guy is either going to be inspired by family and have a Texas performance or he will be overwhelmed, start pressing and play horribly.  I hope we see the former.

The possible Ole Miss matchup in Round 2 is a potential big time game and challenge.  If it happens, will be a great measuring stick for both programs this early in the season.

I agree that it would be a good test, but IMO the real "measuring stick" would be to make it to the finals and plan 'Nova.  Ole Miss is solid and has a lot back from last year, but they were barely over .500, so I don't consider them a measuring stick unless our aim is to be a middle of the pack Big 12 team.  In 'Nova you have a Top 10 team with some key players back that won 30 games last year.  That is the type of team I want to see us compete against and see how we compare.

Ole Miss had major star player injury issues last year and this year everyone is healthy.  They have both talent and experience.  I consider them a top SEC team after Tennessee/Kentucky but a step above LSU/Miss State/Fla and others.

This. Ole Miss lost Warren after just 11 games last year. He was averaging 19.6 points and 4 assists per game when they lost him. Couple that with the fact that they lost Polynice before their season started to an injury. Polynice is their best defender and averaged more than 10 points and 5 boards in 2007-08.

 Both guys are back, and couple that with experience and the return of SEC freshman of the year Terrico White should make it an immense challenge. White averaged 18 points per game in league play last year. So their 16-15 record and 7-9 record in league play should be basically thrown out the window.

They essentially return 5 starters. It will be a major test.

Yes, this happened to me after "the switch" on every HD channel.  I just had to sit on the channel for about 10-15 seconds and it would then give me picture.  You might try pressing the exit button while your on the channel as well.

Once it gave me picture, it doesn't do it for that channel anymore, I think it just has to check with Cox to make sure your supposed to be getting that channel.

Clemente: clear with your expectations

(from ElNuevodia)

Natural Toa Baja, the base of Kansas State is aware of what you have to do to get to the NBA

Entering his final season of eligibility at the NCAA college basketball, Denis Clemente is rated by many listeners of sport as an exciting prospect for professional basketball.

What experts do not know yet is whether Clement define will be a great professional athlete in the NBA, Europe or simply the National Superior Basketball Puerto Rico.

Clemente, a native of Barrio Pajaros in Toa Baja, however, knows very well what to do to try to reach the highest level of these.

"If I get to the NBA, I have to run well and guide this team to win," said Clemente, base 'senior' team from Kansas State Wildcats, and who tonight at 8:30 pm will play against Boston University in their opening match in the tournament 'Puerto Rico Tip Off "which measured eight renowned Division I college programs between now and Sunday.

"What we mainly look for a 'scout' is that a player is a winner. Let me know how well a team lead. That I hope to do this year and if I do I hope to succeed in meeting the goal of reaching the NBA, "said the basketmaker of 6'1 feet tall and 180 pounds in three seasons at the NCAA sum averages of 10.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.

Getting to the NBA would be for her mom Raquel Clemente and a win especially but not huge. That designation has already defined as such a success and what is the school that the 23 year-old hopes to complete next semester in Social Sciences.

"Basketball has brought me to a degree. My mother led me to this, "said Clemente, who has tattooed the name of his mother on his left arm with a flag of Puerto Rico and a ball of basketball.

"With basketball I've done things you never thought would achieve in my life. From kid was so immature and made many mistakes, but thank God I was able to develop and strengthen my mind to get where I am. "

Such growth as a human being is one of the factors that the leader of Kansas State, the Cuban-American Frank Martin, takes him to feel proud of the development and growth that Clement had in life.

"Denis has transformed him physically and emotionally. Three years ago, when he transferred to Kansas State from Miami, worked to increase his weight from 150 to 180 pounds. And his desire to excel in everything in life has been incredible. That has helped him to put his name in conversations from eavesdropping way to 'draft' of 2010 in the NBA, "said Martin, noting that Clement has served this year as a mentor for six new players who have been teaching both the plays that are designed on the computer

Luce then be that behind Clement's life are a couple of episodes that game suspensions sought him a few years ago, the last one that convinced him to leave the Miami Hurricanes to go to Kansas State.

Ahead lies the challenge of using his speed and play a better direction to achieve their dream of living again.
