My big ten conference preview will also be out this week. Sorry for the long article, but i'm pumped for this season.
Well
ReplyDelete1. YOUR RETARTED Enes Kanter was suspended for the whole the season do you pay attention to ESPN!!!!
2. U PUT TENNESSEE IN YOUR FINAL FOUR HAHAHAH
3. Mike Davis and McCammey are not Illinois top two key players
4. ZAGA IS NOT A CINDERELLA TEAM, if you listened to espn once in your life you would see that they talk about them all the time saying this is there year
5. Josh Selby HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED TO PLAY SO HOW CAN YOU SAY HE IS A KEY PLAYER WHEN HE IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE ON THE ROSTER
IF YOU CAN NOT BLOG THAN DONT DO IT. YOUR A JOKE!!
notice how this was published before kanter was declared ineligible. Why would i care what ESPN thinks about Zaga, thats great what Digger Phelps thinks. Zaga is one of the big teams besides the major conferences, but this year i think they actually get to the sweet 16. And who would you put over Mccamey and Davis?
ReplyDeletetell me again why tennessee is in your final 4?
ReplyDeletei don't think they'll win the SEC but they've always hung around in the tourney. The Volunteers got some veteran guards in Hopson and Tatum, with Brian Williams down low. Fr. Tobias Harris will make an impact also. I see them gaining momentum somehow and making a run in March.
