Texas, Providence, Butler, Oklahoma

If I had a gun to my head I'd have to pick Butler...not that I see any of them making it. Butler's path just looks better but it ain't no cakewalk either.

Butler/Purdue would be a good Indiana back yard fight.

Seeing Rick Barnes play Texas would be interesting if both got that far.

Speaking of Texas, there are seven frickin' teams from Texa in the tourney and mine ain't one of 'em!:pout:


The state of North Carolina has six teams in the tourney:

NC Central
UNC Greensboro
Davidson
uNC
NC State
Duke

Kinda hilarious that UVA & Cincy are in the same region but the 2 seed has the much easier path.

UVA fans must be livid
I thought that bottom half of the South bracket looked softer when they put it on the screen yesterday. Miami, Tennessee and Nevada haven't looked that great lately. I'd definitely prefer to play those three instead of the possibility of playing Kentucky and Zona.

Thought the same about Purdue's half of the East. It looks easier to me than Nova's. But, if I knew anything I'd own Vegas after March Madness.

I apologize to the fans of any of these teams. I just put the voodoo hex on all of you by picking them.

Bet the farm on anybody except these four.

Damn you!

I'm shocked that Zona was a 4 seed.

UK is probably right at a 5 seed but when I look at their numbers compared to say, UNC, I think I'm more shocked that UNC is a 2 this year.

I have it as UVA, Gonzaga, Nova, and Duke.

In the title game, I have Nova defeating Villanova
Damn they are going to clone the whole team and play themselves.

No need to copy my picks sir

I didn't even realize that's who you picked. I am torn between Kansas/Duke/MSU in the Midwest. Kansas has a cakewalk to the E8 IMO, so I think they have the best odds, but I don't think they'll beat Duke if they face, the only problem is Duke has to get by URI(which I assume beats OU, which I think is a bad match up for Duke) and then obviously Michigan State. Duke/MSU has a much more difficult road to the E8 IMO.

By seed they're chalk.

In terms of consensus, Kansas and X winning getting to the Final 4 would be big upsets, especially Xavier.
That could be said for several higher seeds. They are chalk by seed number only.

People really high on the Zags. I don't see it. I've got OSU bouncing them in R32

I got OSU losing in round 1 in certain brackets. Honestly it is less about the Zags and more about the region they're in.

SDSU is a tough first round matchup for sure. Zags have just been ok this year. They've really only played 2 games VS a team with a pulse since mud December ( 1-1 VS SMC) and they're only 4-3 VS the field with 1 of the wins being over Texas Southern. They look better now than in December but that's tough to say why. Are they really better or was the WCC really shotty?
