Pale Hose Jon Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I love Northern Iowa over Georgia Tech They have been really hot recently and GT might just look past them in this 3-14 matchup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 Manhattan over Florida is one that jumps at me. Princeton could give Texas guards big problems, but I am not sure they have enough to beat them. I also could see Richmond over Wisconson...

witesoxfan Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 9.UAB over 8.Washington 13.Illinois-Chicago over 4.Kansas 9.Arizona over 8.Seton Hall 10.Louisville over 7.Xavier 9.Southern Illinois over 8.Alabama 12.BYU over 5.Syracuse 11.Western Michigan over 6.Vanderbilt Wildcard pick: 11. Air Force over 6.UNC I'd agree with the possibility of those. I also want to say that if Saint Joe's comes out and shoots like s*** again and Liberty plays a virtual mistake-free game, this could be a chance for a #16 seed has to take out a #1 seed. If that happens, it will be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Valpo over Gonzaga! That would be a 15 seed over a 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHarris1 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I truly believe UIC can knock of Kansas. SIU over 'Bama. Mahattan over Florida. UAB over Washington. My totaly insane upset: Vermont over UConn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Utah over Boston College Louisville over Xavier Southern Ill over Bama Arizona over Seton Hall I agree that Western Michigan could beat Vandy, but I didn't pick them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 UIC over Kansas Utah over BC and Georgia Tech into the round of 16 Charlotte over Texas Tech Manhattan over Florida Arizona over Seton Hall East Tenn. St. over Cincy SIU over Alabama W Michigan over Vanderbilt and NC State into the round of 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 And then you woke up. Sorry, couldn't resist. It could happen... Notice that wasn't in green. Hampton did it to Iowa State a few years back so a 15 seed winning isn't impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Manhattan over Florida is one that jumps at me. Princeton could give Texas guards big problems, but I am not sure they have enough to beat them. I also could see Richmond over Wisconson... Hell yeah Manhattan! People, 9s and 10s don't count as upsets. Princeton is always tough. Pete Carr, err, Bill Carm, err, John Thompson III can really run that Princeton offense. I don't see Wisconsin losing in Milwaukee to Richmond, though I do think Pitt will beat em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richmond has some big upset this year already. I don't know if they can contain the WI guards, but they have played some big games this year.

SoxFan1 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 My 2 upset picks are: Eastern Tennessee State to beat Cincinnatti Manhattan to beat Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elcaballo45 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Come on people, somebody has to pick Murray St over Illinois. The more people that do, the better chance of Illinois winning. Although, with 2 of Murray St.'s better players being arrested yesterday, that may have gone out the window. My upsets are South Carolina over Memphis, BYU over Syracuse, Manhatton to the Sweet 16 beating Florida and Wake, and Dayton over DePaul. And a long shot, Northern Iowa over GT( ). Everyone may now ridicule my picks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 It could happen... Notice that wasn't in green. Hampton did it to Iowa State a few years back so a 15 seed winning isn't impossible. I agree it can happen. But, as a comparison, I personally like Liberty's chances of becoming the first #16 seed ever to win then I do of Valpo's chances of beating Gonzaga.

If that happens, it will be close. I was thinking the same thing. That Liberty team isn't a pushover. They deserved to be a 14 or 15 seed.. not a 16.
