NCAA Tournament Thread

[NCCubFan]

It's probably a good idea to start a new thread for the NCAA tournament, since the existing college basketball thread has grown into a monster. I'm starting it now so people can talk about it at any time.

I filled out my two brackets in the two NSBB Yahoo Pick Em' tournaments. I chose different outcomes in the early games, but I just couldnt' get away from a UCLA vs. Georgetown final

The local news had interviews with players on Belmont last night. Pretty awesome to see their enthusiasm.

I filled one in pretty quick last night, and that was the final I had too. Big problem for me is that Georgetown has crazy matchups to get there. Getting through Washington State, UNC, and aTm is not an easy task.

Count me in.

Entered my picks.

 

It seems that all my upsets involve either ACC or Big Ten teams.

[Andy]

My major 1st-round upsets are Long Beach over Tennessee and GW over Vandy, with my 2nd round upsets being L'ville over A&M, ND over Oregon, Duke over Pitt, Villanova over Kansas and Ga Tech over Wisconsin. I ended up with a UCLA over Georgetown final, with Florida and Ohio State as the other Final Four teams.

[bukie]

My first-round upsets are Albany over Virginia, Illinois over Virginia Tech, VCU over Duke, Texas Tech over BC, ODU over Butler and Creighton over Nevada.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

My upsets are all over the place. I've pretty much made it so that the only way I can win a pool is if this is a HUGE upset year. Just a few off from my list. Winthrop over ND (Sorry Andy), Maryland over Florida, Oregon over Wisconsin, Pitt over UCLA, Arkansas over USC (my 5-12 upset), Texas over UNC, Texas A&M over Memphis, and then over Ohio State. I really really wanted to pick Tennessee over Ohio State, but I think I have enough big upsets going.

 

My final four is Oregon, Kansas, Georgetown, and Texas A&M. Not exactly what I predicted before the seedings came out.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

And just for the record, I don't consider 7-10 to really be an upset, and the 8-9 games don't even count in my book. I have a lot of 10's and 9's advancing.

[wekse]

i'm in the group....i picked as quickly as possible without putting much thought into it.

[bukie]

Oh, my other upset pick is ND over Winthrop. ;)
