Not in love with having to face two teams that know us pretty well in the 2nd round, but pretty ideal draw for 'Nova.
thanks wow SMU out? That was 15/1 odds! Wish I had bet that! But happy with how it went. My only long shot was Nebraska 7/1 to miss, and that lost But I had the most on various bets against Lunardi. I was not impressed with his brackets.
Louisvile a #4 seed at this juncture is a joke (and Manhattan by extension got screwed). Not that they have a chance but if only they could've gotten a more legit #4 seed and not Louisville who is right now a #2 at worst seed in reality. Last 2 out of 3 times in the NCAAs the Jaspers upset their high-seeded opponents in the 1st round. Ain't happening this year. Their coach played for Petino at UK, assistant at Louisville before going to Riverdale. That's the only thing that might keep it from ending up with a Louisville-Rutgers-type final score. I hope Louisville blows up a lot of teams along the way, what the hell... Dayton-Ohio State: too bad that's in Buffalo. Would've been a great in-state Animal House showdown if they had it at UD Arena. Hey "Coach K": you want to go to bat o/b/o of your conference, fine. But you felt compelled to take it the extra step and take a shot at some of the A-10o bubble teams? Get bent.
lol they really screwed Wichita State with their bracket...making them play Kentucky AND Louisville before the Elite Eight?! He was 67-68 picking teams.
The Garden got fucked, they didnt put Syracuse or Duke in that region. Villanova is there but thats really it, I guess Connecticut to.
All 4 ESPN analysts picked Michigan st to win the entire thing. My final 4: Florida over Michigan St Wichita over Oklahama St Wichita over Florida for the title
Just nervous about their lack of size. Young seems to be their only dominate big man and I don't know if the rest of their team can handle the physicality of Payne and Co. Might switch that one but we shall see -- 4 days till games begin
Doesn't matter. I just needed him to miss on one team and he did. He actually missed on a bunch of seeds as well. He had Michigan as a 1, Duke as a 2, Louisville as a 3 (somehow he missed high. Not exactly sure how you justify giving them a 4), and a bunch more like that. It depends what standard you set. If you're comparing him to the average fan, then yes, he did a very good job. If you've been pumping him up as Mr. Perfect like ESPN has, this was a failure. All the hype let to a bet being offered on whether he would hit all the teams and the no was pretty cheap.
Wow just saw the bracket. Tough luck for Wichita State. Man, nothing easy for them for going undefeated. I think the bottom half of the East will be really tough to pick. Already I think I have UVA coming out of there, I just don't know how to fill out the rest. Ahh the fun tradition of staring at brackets and looking up teams schedules during class will begin tomorrow for me
Wichita State might've been better off as a lower seed, the way they set them up. Kentucky deserved higher than an 8. They and Wichita State both got screwed there. Then Saint Louis and Louisville! Those four teams all in one pod. That should never happen.
The Heels brought in on themselves to get a 6 it's a sellout regardless, it's not like St. John's is playing a home game(no offense to the SJU fans). I kind of like UNC's bracket, I was hoping for a 4 or 5 but losing to Pitt in the qtrs. set them back. Can't complain seeing UL get a 4 seed, what a joke that was. Iowa State is playing great but I love those surprise tourney champs, the tend to go out early in the Tourney so that could be an edge if they got past Providence. Roy has never lost a 1st rd game in the Tourney so I feel confident against prov but I can see this team losing rd 1 or making an elite 8 run.
