Not trying to start any CU / Shox message board drama. But I'm curious to see what other MVC fans think. Congrats to both for getting in.

Last I checked, the Shocks don't play CU. If we do, I hope the Shocks go further.

Never said they were playing each other? Just made a comment on some recent animosity.

I picked WSU and it wasn't sour grapes.

If I was going to build a team that would really challenge Creighton I would have designed something similar to Mick Cronin's bunch. They are a really tough bunch. They aren't pretty. They will ugly it up, but I like them a lot in this matchup. Doug will still get his but from a CU perspective it is a really hard matchup for Manigat/Gibbs. Cincy will strap them up defensively and I don't think I am causing a stir in suggesting that neither of them will be able to return the favor when the 'Cats have the ball. Cincy by 5-6.

I don't know what to make of Pitt. A lot of metrics really suggest that they should have been a 5 or 6 seed perhaps. If you account for RPI and have watched them play for a couple minutes then you see why they are seeded where they are. Jamie Dixon is a really good dude but a bad NCAA tournament coach. The intangibles favor the Wheat Shockers here. I like them by a healthy margin.

I like CU better than WSU in general. However, I think WSU gets hot and goes to Elite 8. CU loses to Duke round 2.
