Bracketely challenged - I need your NCAA tourney picks

[Clack]

Feel free to destroy my bracket. I'm not expecting to win so give me the upsets you want to pick but won't or your opinion on any team or game.

I'll start the stupidity ---------> Cal over Texas

[robokill1981]

Texas A+M>Syracuse

[Woodsy]

they are called the Aggies and theyarefromLogan.
Ipickedem.

anddont forget love for my cousin Boo!

[funkendrenchman]

I have Texas going to the final against UNC.

Seton Hall over Tenn in the 2nd round.

Zaga goig to the final 4.

Cuse going to the Sweet 16

Oklahoma going to the Elite 8

WA beating UCONN in the Sweet 16

and Southern going to the Elite 8...... just kidding.

[half-fast]

xavier over gonzaga

[CUBUCK]

Texas A+M>Syracuse

have this one too.

BU is better than their seed
Washington won't come within 20 of Uconn (sorry Funken)
Zaga is overrated
Memphis should be a four seed not a one seed
Ohio State, Uconn, Texas all make it to the final four

[pbf]

bradley over kansas. look out for bucknell beating memphis in the 2nd round. probably not but i wouldnt be shocked. Wis. Milwaukee into the sweet 16. And tennessee may be a rare 2-15 loser.

[acostiga]

there is kind of a trend of 12 seeds upsetting 5 seeds every tourney. this does not bode well for my pitt panthers...

espn guys were yammering on about how this year's brackets are strange in that the power conferences are seeded lower than maybe the teams otherwise should have been. they assert that in the tourney the teams from the bigger, more competitive conferences usually end up winning more tourney games than teams from smaller conferences.

and how can so many people hate on 'cuse? coach jim b is the mang, and they've got a few clutch players on their squad. i've got them winning a game or two...

[Clack]

Indiana vs. UCLA?

They used up all their luck during the Big East Tourney. This is the same team that was humilated by Depaul (108-69)

[funkendrenchman]

Anone picking UNC to win it all?

I also picked:

So. Illinois over WV

SD State over Indiana

[The AD]

and how can so many people hate on 'cuse?

I think it's got something to do with having a big orange ball as a mascot

[Danno]

I also picked:

So. Illinois over WV

SD State over Indiana

Hehe, I made the same 2 picks.

[MassLiberal]

Dude, BC, UCLA, UCONN, and I'm not quite decided on the last entry.

[homerjay]

Indiana vs. UCLA?

Gonzaga v. Marquette?

My final 4: Duke, Gonzaga, Ohio St., UConn

got the 'cuse in the sweet 16, along with S. Illinois (fear the Salukis!)
Bucknell over Memphis
Pitt in the final 8 (personal reasons)
Marquette over UCLA
San Diego St. over Indiana
Pacific over BC
Seton Hall over Tenn.
Utah St. over Wash.

(I suck at NCAA polls and never win anything)

[Viva]

fucla is actually playing well over the past few weeks (just the loss to SC).
Solid defensive team.

I don't think that Gonzaga is so good this year. They definitely weren't playing their best during the WCC tourney.

Look for SDSU to pull a 1st round surprisy-poo; very well coached team them...Mayans? Incas? Whatever.

I like Washington and their coach, ROmar, but I don't think they have the gumption to go far this year.

Now that Arizona sucks, maybe now they'll not flame-out in the first round a la so many times in the past.

I don't know anything about Kal.

And that's my take on the West Coast teams.

[WWCD]

I haven't been able to pick anyone but Duke to win in the last 10yrs.

And for some reason I have at least one Big 10 team in the Final 4 for all my brackets, even though I always think they are overrated.

[sea2ski]

Texas A+M>Syracuse

I think a lot of people will pick this as the 12 seed that upsets a 5 seed. I think the only problem with that logic is Texas A&M had problems with zone teams this year and that is one of Syracuse's strengths. Then again it depends which Syracuse team shows up, the one that played DePaul or the one that won the Big East Tourney.

I'm thinking it might be the other Aggies that are the upset special this year. They play the kind of game that if Washington has a bad night shooting they are going to have problems and they definitely played Nevada pretty tough.

Kent State might also be one to watch since they did pretty well in the dance last year and Pitt is a young team. What Pitt has going for them good defense and Krauser.

Each one of these games could go either way, but that's why they play them.

As far as a Tournament Dark Horse to win it all- Kansas would be my pick.

Other than Kansas, BC could be another Final Four suprise.

[Stu Gotz]

I will say this - never bet against a man named Pops Mensah-Bonsu. Words to live by.

It seems like BC is the recent hot pick in the tournament, which means bad ju-ju for them
