Funny how I bashed them earlier, because the way the bracket shapes up I have them in the Elite 8 now, losing to Illinois.
Oregon had like a 40ish RPI, they got handled by USC (who should have won in Oregon too--it wasn't just home court) who got handled by Arizona (on USC's home court, ah?). 1 word for you, OVERATED. The lucky think for Oregon is the selection comittee through out the Pac 10 turney and gave them an easy, easy draw.
Whoever said the RPI is the right indicator of rankings? How is any different than the whacked out cpu polls for football like Sagarin?
Hey Kidrock 8, I didn't see your post until now... Lever is not a freshman. He was a senior this year. However, his first 3 years he was known as Anthony Norwood. He legally changed his name to Lever, his dad is the ex NBA player named Lafayette "Fat" Lever. Trust me I attend the University of Oregon. I wasn't trying to make some sort of sarcastic comment, I just thought it was ironic that you thought he was a freshman if he graduated this year.
