BOLD tournament predictions....

[TrollyMcTroller]

Kentucky will not make it past Kansas State.

Ahhh.. the ever-bold 9 over 8 upset.

 

[Clayton]

Harvard beats Cincinnati

 

[wiskyisgood12]

I've got a few:

Providence gets past UNC, take it to the bank.

Michigan State does no reach the Final Four

Wichita State does not get past the Elite Eight

Marcus Smart will dominate the first weekend.

Ahhh.. the ever-bold 9 over 8 upset.

Well, I didn't want to show my hand too early, but...

I'm looking to raise my popularity on the boards here, so here you go...


OkSt will beat Arizona

 

[TDs3nOut]

Since everyone seems to think they're a lock to advance...

Neither Louisville nor MSU will advance to the Final Four.

Definitely possible, but that does seem to me like a pretty bold prediction, despite the fact that they are both four seeds. Both are playing very well right now, have good players and good coaches. I'll be quite surprised if at least one of them doesn't make the Final Four.

This is on my radar as an upset, too. UNC fits the profile of a team that could lose in the first round. Honestly, so does Duke.

Tennessee/Iowa beating UMass seems like a good bet.

Harvard is the best low seed so thats why I think they can beat Cinci but teams like Cinci usually dont lose in the first round unless their name is Georgetown.

VCU seems like a team that could lose in Rd1. Oklahoma seems like another

Watch UC handle Harvard with ease, and then everyone will talk about them "upsetting" MSU, only to get barn-stomped...LOL

It'll happen.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

B1G and B12 will be lucky to have 1 team make the final 8.

Any conference will be lucky to have 2 teams in the Elite 8..

 

[Blackshirt]

Nebrasketball is going to win the dance

 

[iruletheskool]

My bracket somehow ended up with Huskers over UVA


Not sure if bold or not, but thats my prediction

 

[uncfan103]

Is North dakota State losing to Oklahoma State in the Sweet Sixteen bold?

 

[Clayton]

I think Cinci is a solid team. I'm just pointing out that you guys got the worst imaginable draw getting the best (imo) low seed team and the most dangerous 4 seed not named Louisville who somehow is also a 4 seed.

 

[bksballer89]

Time for my serious bold prediction.

Two #1 & Two #2 seeds will not make it to the sweet 16

 

[kramer1]

Oh yeah. We got jobbed big time. I'd rather swap places with UCONN and be the 7 seed.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Dayton knocks off Ohio State. That actually should be good game... Lil ole down the road Dayton never gets an opportunity to schedule the Nuts on a neutral court (I like what the committee did here). Last meeting was the 2008 NIT quarters: Nuts 74 ... Flyers 63.

 

[Shanemansj13]

All 7 seeds will win.

Actually I took Arizona St to beat Texas.

NCAAM Gamecast - Harvard vs New Mexico

Same team, more experience.

Hard to compare because I don't think UC is nearly the same team that lost to N.M. earlier in the year.

Justin Jackson was a non-factor for the most part before those back-to-back losses, and the defense, and depth has played a bigger role.

It'll be a good game, though.

Comparing new mexico last year to Cincy this year isn't right. UNM was highly overrated last year, and was the easiest upset pick in my bracket. I literally filled out 20 brackets last year and took harvard in every one of them.

I will be more like 70/30 in favor of Cincy this year because of that defense. But if I was a Cincy fan I wouldn't be happy we drew Harvard, they are a legit squad that almost won @ Uconn

oops...I obviously meant to quote the shenanigans guy not cincyfan
