whitesoxfan101 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I don't have a whole lot of them (ODU and Illinois in the first round, I have Oregon over Maryland in the elite 8, Winthrop, Georgia Tech, etc....) but I have a bad feeling I'm going to regret one of the two games I didn't take, VCU vs. Duke (I saw VCU 3 times, they were bad all 3), and I have a feeling on Oral Roberts/Wazzu. Albany could also be interesting with the game they gave UConn last year in their matchup against Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I can't see Illinois over Va Tech. I have ODU, Davidson over Maryland, debating on Ga Tech over UNLV, Nova over Kentucky, VCU over Duke, debating on the Zags and Hoosiers, GW over Vandy, debating on TT over BC, and that's about it.

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 The past few years I have gone with a lot of upsets, and I'm not gonna do that this year. I had Michigan St. and Nevada in the elite eight last year, and Iowa in the final four. I will probably pick ODU and Winthrop. I saw a couple of brackets on CBSsportsline that had Davidson in the sweet 16. Doyel had all 11 seeds winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Lets see... UNLV > Wisconsin in the second, Illinois > VT in the first (unlikely, but whatever), Gonzaga > Indiana in the first, TT > BC in the first, Texas > UNC, Stanford > Louisville, Creighton > Nevada. Still debating Texas Tech over Boston College, and will probably pick BC, but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still debating Texas Tech over Boston College, and will probably pick BC, but whatever. Stanford over Louisville seems unlikely given that the game is 70 miles from Louisville, will be heavily attended by Louisville fans and Stanford will be playing at roughly 8:40 am their time (when you figure in the time zones as well as the time change ahead this week).

Heads22 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 ODU to the Sweet 16, Texas Tech to the Sweet 16, Wright State over Pitt are my biggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be a lot of fans from Lexington there, and you better believe they'll be rooting against Lville. Should be an interesting dynamic.

tigerfan Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) I initially was going to put Old Dominion through to the sweet 16, but switched it around and got Butler going that far now. Still might change it again though, so it's not really set in stone yet. I got Marquette knocking off MSU in round 1. Didn't want to do it, but I'm basing it on the fact that MSU really had a rather poor year by their standards. Generally they do better then an 8-8 conference record. Count me in on the Albany bandwagon too. Having came close last year with UConn, they've likely learned from that and could be poised to finish the job this time around. Picked them to go to the sweet 16, upsetting Tennessee to get there. I got VCU over Duke as well. As MSU did, Duke had a very un-Duke like year. They play the way they did at times during the season and they will get knocked off early. I got Penn going all the way to the elite eight, knocking off Stanford and Memphis along the way. George Washington I have sweet 16 bound, though I don't know if that would be such a big surprise if it happened. Got Miami Ohio knocking off Oregon as well as Notre Dame, and then the other biggie I got is Kansas falling to Nova in round 2. EDIT: Almost forgot about this but I got Southern Illnois in the final four. That's somewhat of an upset I suppose.

tigerfan Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 It's gonna happen soon. I heard on Mike and Mike that in the last 4 or 5 years, the margin between the 1's and 16's has gradually gone down. It was at like 30 points at one time, last year it was at 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 My bracket's incredibly average right now. I thought my bracket was a bit too much chalk, but apparently it was not, as I've lost a few games by going against the chalk today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Missed just one today. The one year I don't take Duke losing early, they lose early. I'm cursed. Anyway, I got way, way less chalk going tommorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
