Deal.

That is like the safest bet you can make. Just say they won't even win in the 1st round!

Wichita State goes deep this year.

Consider it called.

[tredadda]

I agree, I think Wichita State will surprise some people.

[tk13]

You knew this was going to be about Iowa State before even opening the thread.

I have to go with Wichita State... even though they are going to be almost too hyped as a cinderella pick, I think. That team is really talented though.

[tk13]

See, there you go... they do have all the tools though.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I need to go on record that I called the Shockers first here....

:)

[Pablo]

I'll go with Drexel.

Wichita State is playing as good as anyone in the country right now. Calling them a Cinderella might not do them justice, they are playing some very good basketball right now.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Don't sleep on Nashville Auto-Diesel College either.

Well ok sleep on them but don't say you didn't know.

[JoeyChuckles]

You guys fequent the Dance Card site? Interesting look at who will get in. They get something like 96% of all at large bids each year.

True but most of the country will see them as Cinderalla imo when they take the tourney by storm. I'd rather KU not play them in the tourney.

That's a good team... I believe they spent some time ranked in the top 10 this year didn't they?

[Ceej]

Write down Long Beach State for me.

[Predarat]

The University of Middle Tennessee Blueeee Raiderrrrrsss! hopefully.

Shockers baby!

Teams that take a lot of 3s have a chance to get hot and beat superior teams in the tournament because of it. So yeah, Iowa State fits the mould of those previous teams. It doesn't mean they'll get hot, though. In fact, chances are they won't.

[KC_Connection]

Wichita State is no Cinderella in my mind. They're very good and I expect them to do well.

[Thig Lyfe]

I think Mizzou has a decent shot at going on a dream ride to the second round.

Or just play defense. That's the amazing thing about Butler's run. Those were absolutely not two of Butler's best offensive teams over the last decade. In fact they weren't that good offensively really... they just played great, great defense.

They're a mid major so they're my Cinderella dammmmmiiitttt!!!

LMAO

I expect MU to go deep and have a shot at a title.

[Buck]

I'm not predicting a Cinderella, but don't sleep on the MWC teams making it this year. All 3 teams have Sweet 16 potential and I wouldn't be surprised if one got to the elite eight.

[Deberg_1990]

Don't sleep on Montana U&T of Tech

[Mr. Arrowhead]

WSU really shouldnt be considered a Cinderella team, they will prolly be a 4 or 5 seed. I considered a Cinderella a double digit non bcs team.
