on the Brackets

jayandbutton · 03-03-07, 10:10 PM

grand canyon got a sweep at home and move to 20-7 today.

seattle won its seventh straight today too.

the seasiders also won.

anchorage beat fairbanks, and central washington won.

that's the news from the bottom of the bracket.

seattle in the first round for us, the lopes versus the yotes, correct?

we have the tougher game. we need our big man back.

lakdod · 03-03-07, 10:20 PM

It we still get the 3rd seed we will play Seattle my guess.

I think it will be
#1 Humboldt
#8 Anchorage

#4 Seattle Pacific
#5 Grand Canyon

#3 Cal Poly Pomona
#6 Seattle

#2 San Bernardino
#7 BYU Hawaii

Well no surprises in the pairngs look at my previous post. The million dollar question who host the tourney.

lakdod · 03-04-07, 09:12 PM

Here is some info about Seattle. They are 19-8 this year and was co gnac conference champions.
They are led by Sam Kirby a 6-0 guard who average 13.3 points per game. Followed by Leigh Swanson who is a 6-8 forward average 12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds. Third leading scorer is Ryan Webb guard who is averaging 10.3 pts and averaging 6.5 assist. Fourth scorer is Center David White average 9.7 pts and 7 rebounds.

Starting 5
Sam kirby G 6-0 175 senior
Ryan Webb G 6-1 195 senior
Leigh Swanson F 6-8 210 soph
Mike Boxley f 6-5 215 freshman
David White C 6-11 230 Senior

It look like we match up defensively. I think the advantage we might have is in Center. They have no weight in their big guys maybe if we bound them low we can tired them out. make prediction later in the week.

The game is at noon on Friday so we have the first game in the entire tournament. The game will be played at death valley aka East gym.

jayandbutton · 03-05-07, 11:41 AM

6-8 and 6-11 is clearly taller than we have but as you say these guys are on the slender side.

i believe the tourney turns on baby shaq. if he has career stats we can win it all.

no game is a gimme. anchorage has beaten the jacks regularly at east gym, but they clearly have a huge edge on their home floor.

lakdod · 03-05-07, 11:51 AM

the other question who is going to guard dion. I mean Dion is tearing it up. Are there going to put a freshman on him for most of the game or there going to put a bigger guy and let the freshman guard Larry. I wont be surprise if Seattle takes the freshman out early. The other edge we have is experience. That is one thing you can not beat. We have seniors and juniors who played in the elite eight. While Seattle have not been there in a while. Coach K will get this team ready like he did with the previous playoffs team.

jayandbutton · 03-05-07, 01:32 PM

i still say the outcome of the dance turns on our big man/men.

we can squeak by in the first round but then ivan johnson looms, and he's been averaging double-doubles in the second half of the season. he will eat kevin and kyle alive.

the last rumor i heard was that we couldn't get our entire program on one plane. welcome to arcata.

lakdod · 03-05-07, 01:40 PM

San Bernardino coach mention that in the paper. Kaleen will be the key for the team sucess. You are right without him were in trouble.

lakdod · 03-05-07, 04:37 PM

Here is my prediction for the game the Broncos by 5 over seattle. Dion Cook will score 20 pts followed by Daniels with 14 pts. If you want to see my bracket and prediction for the region look at the d2board.

Kaelen will play, but will see limited minutes against seattle. He will be a non factor as he is not 100%. Dion will play hard and do what he can, but the bronocs will be overmatched in this game. Can the great coaching of mastermind Coach K save the broncos in the first round? Only he can, but the broncos have been playing inconsistent over the last month and havent been playing like a tournament team, let alone a 3rd seed. Congrats to the broncos for making the playoffs after missing out for a year, but the broncos will go down in a hard fought game losing by 11 to seattle. It wont matter anyways because the championship will go through SB and Humboldt with super senior Kevin Johnson cutting down the nets in his final game on his home court.

Dion Cook makes all tournament team and 1st all west region honors.

jayandbutton · 03-07-07, 09:07 AM

wow fame, that's a most pessimistic prediction. losing in the first round to the six seed on a neutral court would be quite a blow. that's a near blowout, and i can't recall that ever happening in any regional under coach k's lead.

but you sound like you have inside information, like you are connected with the program in some way. what is the nature of baby shaq's injury?

and what do you think about his being left out of the all league team? i am shocked that there's only one center and eleven guards. i have seen him mature both on and off the court and see him as an underappreciated talent.

Well most of his prediction this season hall of fame has been wrong. Hopefully that trend will continue, but I think all Broncos fan know if Kaleen does not play alot of min. The Broncos will have a tough time in the tourney.

jayandbutton · 03-07-07, 10:18 AM

and lakdod, you are batting 1.000! so maybe i should book my flight for springfield and the elite eight, and finally get to see the basketball hall of fame!

lakdod · 03-07-07, 11:17 AM

Well I am not batting 1.00. My prediction for the wins total was a bit off. I thought they would win 22, but they only won 20. Other than that I have a good prediction record this year hopefully I am right the rest of the way.

CPP Hall of Fame · 03-07-07, 12:50 PM

yeah that was a bit pessimistic opinion but i was just trying to state that they havent been playing like a playoff capable team the last month of the season. and you cant just turn it on as you please especially come playoff time, and with kaelen not 100%, it is a good possibility that the broncos wont get the job done. thats why i predicted them going down by 11 points, remember were talking about the GNAC champs now, this is no lowsy grand canyon.

as far as kaelen gettin snubbed from the all ccaa team, i would make the case that he deserved to be on the team if his play was consistent throughout ccaa play. at times he wasnt even the broncos 5th best player on the court. he emerged early in the season and in the end. the level of consistency was jus not there for the big fella. he made big strides from last year to this year and can now have even more motivation for next year.

jayandbutton · 03-07-07, 04:10 PM

good insights, fame...i agree that our big man was up and down but then even the neon man had off nights. overall i think baby shaq had enough game to get him onto the second team given the talent of other centers in the league.

i disagree about canyon. they are a better program now than when they were a conference foe, but agree that seattle still beats them simply by being in a tougher league.

and yeah, i too am looking forward to the larry, donelle, and kaelen show next year. sure hope all will be healthy throughout the season.
