My Auction Pool is tonight and I'm expecting Kentucky to go for some hilarious sum. Other than chasing teams that are in their path, who has some hot takes for who I should spend money on?

 

I've got Kentucky over VA in the title(and not happy about going with Kentucky). SFA, Wofford, EWU with upsets.

I feel like is the most top-heavy bracket in years and we will see fewer upsets than in the past. That said, I agree with SFA and EWU (G-Town is the only Big East team I don't trust), and am not sure about Wofford (Arkansas is crazy athletic and their press drives people crazy).

 

I'm also looking at these guys:

 

Davidson (1st round only)

Mich St (I know they are deeply flawed, but i can't see Izzo losing to a meh GA team; UVA might be a different story)

Providence

Wichita St

Buffalo (1st round only)

 

EDIT: considering GA State too.

My first run though I have Kentucky over Iowa St, with Villanova and Arizona in the final 4 with them. Biggest upsets are OSU over VCU, Davidson over Iowa, and EWU. Wichita St. at a 7 is my lowest ranked team in the sweet 16, I have all the 1 seeds, 3 of the 3 seeds and 1 of the 2 seeds in the elite 8. Edited by Cubswin11

I took Kentucky over Duke, with Arizona and UVA in the final four. SFA, EWU and Buffalo upset picks, with SFA in the Sweet 16. Xavier is a minor upset pick in round 2 over Baylor and the same with UNI over Nova in round 3, but I went mostly chalk this year. Haven't watched a ton of games outside of ND.

So what did Cliff Alexander do(or not do?)

 

He and/or his family took a loan from an agent.

 

EDIT: Probably. Hasn't been confirmed. But the investigation is regarding a loan coming from an agent.

Man this tourney is so top heavy.I have 4 1s and 3 2s in my elite eight, and I'm strongly considering the fourth.

I've read it was his mom.

Kentucky over Iowa State, although I don't feel good about that at all.

 

I have the same.

 

Exactly what I did, too.

It's really amazing how some announcers see multiple replays and still can't figure out what happened. Notre Dame guy clearly hit the ball away (not a foul) and yet they said a foul should have been called on Notre Dame.

This is why I'm beginning to hate brackets. I fill out my bracket and then suddenly one of my elite 8 teams is in a close game and I'm rooting for them to lose.

Got to get a shot off, Northeastern. At least give yourself a chance.
