Why? NIT and NCAA have different selection committees. Didn't someone say on TV yesterday that Iowa was the 2nd team out? Iowa was one of the last six out. The list I posted yesterday was in alphabetical order apparently.
I picked Bucknell and the MTSU/St. Mary's winner (I'm predicting MTSU), but those are literally the only two lower seeds I have winning. I'm very unnerved by this. I also picked Illinois to beat Miami and UNC to beat Kansas and go to the Elite 8.
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.
