Buy/Sell: This is the hardest bracket we have ever had.

[Hanmudog]

I say Buy and not just because of our seed either. Oregon is a decent team. Memphis obviously. Either Pitt or Michigan State, both tough. Texas who was nearly a one seed. And then UCLA if we get that far.</p>

At least not for the first two rounds. I have no idea who we would have played if we'd beat Duke.

 

[MrHooch]

...or Texas in Dallas (or wherever the hell we were...in their back yard)

 

[Stormrider81]

We matched up pretty well against Duke. Frazier, not really at 100%, took out Redick. Campbell and Roberts did well against Shelden Williams. The guy we really struggled against was Ewing. We just couldn't guard him.

I'd say this is a tougher bracket, but who knows.

we beat memphis by 7. book the best hotel rooms in houston while they're still available.

....Memphis State sux at FT like we do. If we are to pull that one out, we must shoot 70% or better from the line. Memphis State will beat us if we dont.

 

[Stormrider81]

If we face Memphis (have to include that since Oregon could make all this moot) and can get it into a free throw shooting contest, we at least wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Perhaps, if we get the right people to the line, notably Hans, then maybe we could be at an advantage. That's just weird to even think about.

 

[patdog]

I think the Frazier injury cost us a Sweet 16 appearance that year. There's no way that team would have been an 8 seed if he hadn't gotten hurt.

 

[Stormrider81]

We strugged from the outside in his absence and he was the best defender we had by far.

 

[Berserker.sixpack]

The one in 1996 was much tougher. UConn and Cincy plus UCLA which was defeated by Princeton.

</p>

but I recall seeing a quote from Coach K that he told Frazier that Redick would have nightmares after the job Winsome did on him. And yeah, Ewing prompted this:
</p>

"Ewing is the guy down the stretch that really hurt us," Stansbury said. Ewing finished with 22 points -- and after hitting his fourth 3-pointer of the game, taunted the Bulldogs by saying "You can't guard me" to guard Shane Power.
