love is a 76% free throw shooter. why would we want to foul the hell out of him?

under your "logic", we would be best off playing Memphis since they can't shoot free throws.

agree ucla is our best chance of knocking off a #1 seed

Assuming we play UCLA, our guards are going to have to be alert, otherwise Love's outlet passes are going to shred us on the fast break.

I wish we were in KU's bracket so we wouldn't be in an 8/9 game. I think we would fare well against KU if we got to play them again.

I hope we play solid against BYU just so we have the chance to play UCLA. Then I hope we can play good and that UCLA is off.

Love has perimeter game too which will cause matchup problems for all of our bigs.

#1 seeds to me are 1) UNC, 2) UCLA, 3) Memphis, and 4) Kansas.

We can beat Kansas. We showed it is possible Saturday. Memphis would out-athlete us, and I fear that, should we beat BYU, we will score less than 50 against the Bruins, meaning a 20 point loss. But, I am thinking about BYU first.

agreed. ucla is your best matchup. if you beat ucla i will be exuberant.

dont get carried away. kansas has the ability to elevate their game to an extremely high level. i think the a&m game vs ku was just a walk through, for the most part.

beat the bruins aggies. turgeon needs to exact revenge for his alma mater. or ku can just do tha in the NC game.

UCLA gets no love because they're on the West Coast and the media bias spooges East Coast basketball. UCLA beat Kansas last year, remember. Ben Howland is a helluva coach and my biggest fear is a comment Scott Van Pelt made on ESPNRadio yesterday when the bracket was announced..."If A&M plays UCLA in the second round, they might not score 29 points in the game."

I can only dream and hope that Mississippi Valley St. can pull off a monumental upset of UCLA. Then we are off to major things assuming we beat BYU.

We are practically playing in UCLA's backyard if we make it past BYU. This does not bode well for the Ags. I don't like this match up.

You can't just foul Love with impunity, for 1 he's a good FT shooter, 2, he's a threat from behind the arc & 3, they have 3 other big guys inside that will take take a lot of that punishment. With their defense and inside/outside game, they are a bad matchup for us, however, they are banged up which if we bring our A game, could keep it close.

I think Memphis is our best matchup of those 4. We played in the tourney last year & would have won if Acie had been himself. Rose has hit the wall a bit down the stretch & they aren't a great shooting team. We matchup well with them.

any national media talking head, will only be making comments based on our losses, because that is pretty much all they have seen highlights of.

Considering I have UCLA in the Championship game...I really don't think we have much of a chance against them
