Exact time and broadcasters of last year's craptastic game, where ND pissed away a free Sweet 16 berth (Duke had just lost to Lehigh) against Xavier. I hope that's not an omen.
I should add that I'm going to blame you all if my Illinois to the Sweet 16 pick doesn't work out, because it was no doubt influenced by their contingent on this board.
Seems like a lot of the 'experts' actually did well too. Lunardi for instance had all 68, all the 1's and 2's, and the last four in. I'm not shocked, as this year seemed pretty cut and dried in terms of who was getting in once everything actually shook out.
Correct seeds: 32 Off by 1: 23 Off by 2: Colorado State, Wichita State, Oregon, Minnesota, Bucknell, Boise State, Montana, Memphis, Iowa State, UNC, Temple Off by 3: UNLV, Pittsburgh We did really well.
That's what my final is too. Had New Mexico and Miami as my other final 4 teams. Biggest upset seed wise are Bellmont over Arizona and Bucknell over Butler. I'm tempted to pick Pitt over Gonzaga in the 2nd round but don't have it currently. I picked Bucknell as well, and the play-in winner over Memphis. My actual biggest upset is UNC over Kansas in round 2.
That makes sense to me. Louisville was a borderline 1 going into the BET and Zags were 4th so they could've been jumped if Georgetown had won the BET. KU probably hurdled Duke over the weekend. Wow, Ole Miss in whether they won or not per Bobinski
I don't think we've been off by more than 2 seeds on anyone we put in. Middle Tenn is our only miss. How are they a miss? They were in the last S-Curve from today. Oh, I had Tennessee on my bracket where I meant Mid Tenn. Then we haven't missed anyone. And I doubt we will.
UI has 8/9 written all over it. Probably opposite Miami, who at this point I'm betting jumped the Zags for a 1. If IU and Gonzaga are the other 1's, UI can't be in the 8/9 game. Well then Illinois's either in the 8/9 game or 7/10 game opposite Miami.
Yeah. Either KU or Miami got the other one (I would put KU there but I have a feeling it's Miami). Miami has some awful losses this year. More than any others among the top 16 (and KU has one as well, but Miami has multiple). I agree, but the committee seems to always fall in love with the top ACC teams (Duke in 2010 and '11 for instance)
