The "2nd Round" was the craziest start to a tournament ever! 7 upsets and 5 OT games!

Now onto the 3rd round, they might not be the matchups you had but here we go with more upsets:

1 Florida vs 9 Pittsburgh

2 Michigan vs 7 Texas

4 San Diego St vs 12 North Dakota St

3 Syracuse vs 11 Dayton

2 Wisconsin vs 7 Oregon

4 Michigan State vs 12 Harvard

2 Villanova vs 7 UConn

2 Kansas vs 10 Stanford

1 Wichita St vs 8 Kentucky

1 Virginia vs 8 Memphis

1 Arizona vs 8 Gonzaga

4 UCLA vs 12 SF Austin


So 12 out of the 16 games can be potential upsets. Who ya got??

I have UConn over Villanova as the only one in my bracket.

Best chances:

UConn over Nova

Oregon over Wisconsin

North Dakota St over San Diego St

Also will be interesting:

Harvard vs Michigan St

Pitt vs Florida

SF Austin vs UCLA

For some reason I picked stanford over Kansas in almost all of my brackets. No idea why, but maybe Dwight Powell can go off without Embiid down low.

No way I woulda picked that upset if Kansas were fully healthy, but after watching them really struggle against EKU I can definitely see it happening

I didn't even pick them to win one game. Didn't watch them much, but I think KU can handle them

Because they haven't played many good teams.

preaching to the choir. I think Baylor "upsets" Creighton on Sunday, but not sure if I should really be rooting for that since, down the road, Baylor might be one of the few teams in the country that can match up with us athletically

I like Baylor as well, but I think Creighton is due for a lights out shooting night

Jekyl and Hyde. They can be damn good. But Powell also gets into foul trouble 5 minutes into about 93% of their games, he just doesn't seem to have much bball IQ when it comes to avoiding stupid fouls. I am still surprised Stanford made it this far after losing their PG at the beginning of the season

I have KY over Wichita State. Not really based on anything other than the Cats figure to be a far more athletic team than the Shockers have faced this year.

I know everything is a possibility, but I don't see UK having much of a shot at all

Perhaps you are right. I wasn't too impressed with KY tonight and I haven't seen WSU play all year. Either way, I expect whichever team advances in that game to lose its next one, against Louisville.

Man, I don't know if Manhattan just matched up well with Louisville, but wasn't too impressed with them. They also shot terrible 35% and still won so...

I have them in the ship.

Yeah, the Jaspers scarred the hell out of me! I do think that they matched better than most of the other teams I've seen the Cards play in the sense that the took care of the ball well. I still have faith in Louisville, but the Jaspers played them much tougher than I expected.

I called UConn, but a lot did.

Then you have Dayton, UK (not as big as you think), and Stanford.

So not many but some unexpected ones for the most part.
