New Bracket Thursday/Predictions

I'm going to wait til the end of Maui to make a new bracket since some of the top teams UNC/Texas/ND will play either other but here are some predictions

Texas-ND- Abrams vs McAlarney will be a shoot-out if both are on the top of their game, but the key could be who stops Luke Harangody, and who can cover Zeller at the 3-pt arc.

Prediction: ND 82 Texas 79

UNC-Oregon- Interesting game with the sharpshooters of Oregon playing the well-balanced Heels. Tyler Hans. will be playing in only his 2nd game of the season, it will be interesting to see how well he can handle the doubles that will come from the Oregon defenders. UNC is hurt but they just have too much talent

Prediction UNC 87 Oregon 74

Kansas-Syracuse- Big test for both teams, with Syracuse actually playing outside New York in the non-conference and a Kansas squad that replaces just about everybody. Game in KC, Missouri should give the Young Jayhawks enough fan support to pull this off

Prediction Kansas 76 Syracuse 73
