You want me to guess? And yes, I heard that caller too. He then defended it by saying he called up Mike and Chris and predicted the Seahawks would beat somebody. Not sure if he meant the SB and he called both their shows, or he means Seahawks/Saints (which I predicted, and was much less of an upset than Albany over Florida would be). Either way, Albany is not beating Florida.

No they won't, not enough offense. Defensively they are as good as any team in the country but if Thames get shut down which would likely happen against a really good team I don't see Polee, JJ O'Brien Matt Shrigley and Winston Shephard providing enough offense to get them through. I do like them in the Sweet 16 though as they should roll NMSU and they own Lon Kruger.
Yeah, I picked them to go to the S16 and lose to Arizona. The Quicken Loans bracket contest locks at 1 AM tonight, according to the rules. That's pretty odd, because the field isn't even set until after 11 PM. Less than 2 hours to submit (I want to see whether Tennessee or Iowa wins). Huge longshot, but I'm hoping my bracket somehow cracks the top 20 (top 20 get prizes).
ha, they're claiming Cal Poly became the second 19 loss team ever to win a NCAA tournament game (Bradley did it in 1955). Talk about ruining records. A 16 vs. 16 play in game should not be considered an NCAA tournament game. It's a play-in game. They should've kept the 64 team field. They could've added one at large bid by getting rid of the SWAC auto-bid. The SWAC should not be part of Division I. They always suck and they have all kinds of issues keeping up with academic standards.
I printed off the bracket, taped it to the dartboard, and threw a dart and it hit San Diego State. That's why SD state will triumph in this 68 team tournament.
could've been worse. They probably have about the 20th best chance. How did you pick the rest of the bracket?
I havent, I'm the laziest sob when it comes to brackets, I haven't done one since probably 2011. Apparently tho I'm doing it tommorow cuz a friend wants to put up $25. I think I'm looking at Kansas and maybe Louisville. I don't really like Florida.
KU/Syracuse is a very tough one for me. Embiid could be back. If he's back, I'd lean KU. Without him, I'd lean Syracuse. I did my first bracket earlier. Now I have to fill in my brackets at the 15 or so different sites that are having contests (ncaa.com is doing one again, although I don't see any prizes).
I like the way Kentucky started to play down the stretch. I think Michigan State might do well to but I say Barry Soetoro picking them on ESPN so im going to shy away from that.
The Midwest has FIVE teams that I'd pick over Arizona if those teams were in the West. That's how lopsided it is. I picked Arizona for the final four in almost all of my brackets because I have no confidence in San Diego State, OU, Creighton, or Wisconsin.
I wanted to go against Arizona so I stretched it a bit, but I really would have taken five over Arizona. Really did not want to put them in the final four, I think they are vulnerable. I like Tennessee, I would have picked them over Arizona. As it is, I picked them over Duke and Michigan. Iowa and Tennessee were both underseeded, it's unfortunate only one got to make the real tournament.
