Can we get some predictions?

I'll be the first to admit: I know next to nothing about basketball. I know that the ball goes in the hoop and it counts for either 1, 2 or 3 points. I know what traveling, charging, blocking, and goaltending are. I know a lot of the basics, but don't know anything about match-ups, strengths, weaknesses, or schemes.

So, to you basketball educated, what is your score for tonight?

To those going to the game: YELL LIKE HELL and HOOK 'EM!!

My Prediction

As your current leader in the BON Bracket Challenge, and therefore as the one who is obviously better qualified and more well-hung than the rest of the crew I will predict the following score:

UT 74 - Stanford 65.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

I would totally read the Washington Post every single day if I cared at all about helping Dan Steinberg keep his job.

Predcitions

Billy Packer complains about the officiating and says the college game peaked in the ACC conference in 1971.

CBS shows a combination of AJ Abrams dad and the Lopez mother at least 9 times. She will be taking copious notes. He will have his arms crossed.

Rick Barnes wears a white shirt w/ a dark tie.

VY in the house.

CBS will plug the Masters 4 times per half, highlighted by footage of first negative vertical leap in history by Manboobs Mickelson.

Horns foul out one of the Lopi and pad a close game with late free throws 82-75. Mason finishes with 11 pts and 8 rebounds and is still the straw that stirs the Texas drink.

Hook 'em!

Commentator Predictions

We will hear about:

Pittman lost 70 lbs last year

AJ's dad used a broom to make him shoot with a high arc

Connor's Mom demanded a scholarship, Barnes wanted him to walk on, assistant coaches insisted he should be given one.

DJ's family is from Katrina land.

DJ is an academic all American.

Color guy says Texas going zone is unexpected because Barnes only like to play man to man, despite the fact we have been playing the 2-3 zone as much as man for the past 2-3 years.

Gary Johnson's heart condition.

This team is "better" without Durant

And...

Alexis Wangmene... Cameroon... R.C. Buford... Basketball Without Borders... Blair Academy

At least we don't still have to hear about Sydmill Harris' Dutch crooner of a father and 11 spoken languages.

Don't forget though

Packer doesn't do any homework on the teams that are about to play. He's going to call for Dex to lose 70 lbs. this offseason to be ready for next year.
Is there a luckier dude on the planet than Jim Nantz? Calls the Masters and Final 4 every year, and the Super Bowl every other year.
