Upset Picks Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

No, I'd expect that place to be crawling with Louisville fans, especially because it seems the Ohio State fans still dont care about their team much.

We're on the verge of going half a day without a single upset...and none of the #1's have played yet.

 

It's absolutely no fun when all the top seeds win.

 

For s***s and giggles, let's see a 1 get beat this year.

David's having a tough time playing solid man defense.
