The Davidson Train

[WinOneThisCentury]

I'm going on record as saying if we shoot 26% from the floor we won't win. I'm thinking the Penn State loss may have been a wake up call that you have to play with intensity for 40 minutes on defense...not the 5...when they have some confidence built up.

I'm trying to forget that most teams that make a run in the Tourney don't lose the first game they play in their conference tourney. Usually they are playing their best ball and become a really, really tough out.

I know, right? I hate that guy.

IOWA should win this game by virtue of their size alone.

But we've all seen them get burned by three pointers. If we had five Ultrahoffs, this would be no contest.

But we don't.

Stock market performance is rarely a reflection of who is in the oval office.
Obama dislikes white, wealthy people. (Unless they are donors) His socialist policies have had no bearing on the stock market performance, good or bad, nor does he care about it.
Stock market is remaining high because there is no where else anyone can go with their money..

Any stats to back this notion?

The 2005-2006 Big Ten tourney champ Hawkeyes say hello!

Considering Obama's success in picking who to support in the Israeli elections, I'm very happy to have him writing Davidson on his bracket.

ugh...here we go. Discussing politics anonymously online is always a good idea, especially in a Hawkeye Basketball forum. Trust me when I say that people truly care what you think and your opinion matters!

43%... That's my over/under. We shoot over 43%, we win. We shoot under, we lose.

Biden does the brackets. Duh.

What else does a VP have to do?

Plan trainwreck wars in the middle east? That's sooo last decade.

Please.... Biden has trouble picking his nose, how the hells he going to pick an NCAA CHAMPION

I will merely point out that my post directly above yours makes no reference to politics. The President of the United States filled out his brackets, as he does every year. He'll get some right. He'll get some wrong. Some of his former campaign staffers supported the candidate who lost yesterday. I hope the POTUS pick of Davidson is as wrong as who they backed in Israel. That's all.

You apparently haven't visited the Off Topic forum in a while...

 

[SpecialKHawk]

The 5-6 national pundit's brackets I have seen all have Davidson over Iowa. What's next ... Mason and Barta's brackets picking Davidson?

Starting to think this is the rematch of the 83 NC State v Houston title game and we are NC St. while Davidson is Phi Splasha 3'ball.

If we pull out a miracle win it could be the shocker of the tournament.

Sapp is going to have to play the top on defense and extend; Whitey and Uthoff with their height and quickness are going to have to be on the wings to disrupt passes and block shots.

oh ok, so its just fine and dandy to talk politics on a basketball forum, but someone drops an F-bomb and the world ends? Gotcha.

Zero experts picked Mercer to beat Duke last year...how'd that work out for the experts?

You're just saying this because you actually think Kennedy has a shot at beating Nixon!

I predict Dewey defeats Truman!

 

[Knight78]

Obama's bracket has Davidson beating us and them facing off against ISU in the sweet 16.

ESPN's statistical analysis shows Davidson favored at 52.7%. Seems like there is a lot of sentiment out there favoring Davidson. I keep hearing 'Iowa is a really good team BUT .... I am picking Davidson'. We might as well as take our parting gifts, save the charter allowance and stay home as we have no chance.

But I thought Obama found everything out from the news after it happens!

Too easy. The question is, though, will Truman win double-digit states?
