^ you must admit it's entertaining

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Well, I have North Carolina over Texas in the National Championship game.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

I have Memphis over Georgetown, but I don't like it... so I'll probably change it again

 

[ballinboykz]

Some games I am pondering.
First Round
Oklahoma v. St. Joes (Ive got Joes)
Vanderbilt v. Siena (Ive got Siena)
Michigan St. v. Temple (Ive got Temple)
Marquette v. Kentucky (Ive got Marquette, but Kentucky is interesting. It has been up and down all year)
Purdue v. Baylor (Ive got Baylor, and not just first round)

Second Round
Louisville v. St. Joes (Louisville, but this matchup is interesting)
USC v. Wisconsin (Wisconsin right now, potential to change)
Davidson v. Georgetown (Obvious pick is G'town, but Davidson is a threat)
Stanford v Marquette (Stanford right now, but again, intriguing)
Baylor v. Xavier (Ive got Baylor)

I guess, with that, do any of those really look out of the question?
Im really questioning the Vandy/Siena game. As well, Purdue and Baylor. Those two are the huge ones. Michigan State has been so uneven this year, that I cantpick them.

Help?

First Round
Oklahoma v. St. Joes (Ive got Joes)
Vanderbilt v. Siena (Ive got Siena)
Michigan St. v. Temple (Ive got Temple)
Marquette v. Kentucky (Ive got Marquette, but Kentucky is interesting. It has been up and down all year)
Purdue v. Baylor (Ive got Baylor, and not just first round)
That's what I got.

Don't come off the Siena pick.

They WILL win.

 

[ballinboykz]

But I guess my question is, how does the Baylor/Xavier matchup bode for both sides? Im wondering if Baylor can pull that upset.

 

[allen3xis]

Well,

my thinkin is always with a high seed like that (11)...their chances of losing first round are decent...and in that case..

I like takin the more sure thing. And not end up getting two picks wrong if they get bounced in the first round

 

[ballinboykz]

True enough.

 

[j rain 23]

i get a kick out of you guys and your in depth analysis's, trying to act like experts. then the real funny part is, people actually ask for your advice andchange their picks because of what you say.

yes allen and craftsy, i'm talking to you.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Moss for MVP!!!

 

[allen3xis]

I don't think I'm an expert and not trying to be.

I like to think I'm knowledgeable about college hoops, though.


I don't know who is changing their picks because of anyone...?

People might be changing their picks because of you though...doing the opposite.

 

[ballinboykz]

I aint changing my picks. Im just asking advice. Im still stuck on the Siena and Vandy game.

I am still stuck on the Notre Dame game. I think that Washington State may have slight edge becuase of Weaver and Baynes.

Comments, Advice?

 

[DeadsetAce]

im still slightly confused about Pitt...i dunno if theyre a legit threat or if people are just going to town on that koolaid that Bob Knight is pounding down

 

[airant23]

YO!

ddot7

I saw your name and immediately wondered,"let's see how this has something to do with Clemson." DF!!!

 

[allen3xis]

I don't like ND in any kind of Tournament setting.

Pitt - overhyped right now. A good team...but having to get through Michigan State and Memphis potentially back to back is not a good look...after playin 4games in the BET

. We shall see.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Think my Final Four for my main bracket will look like this


UNC
Wisconsin
Memphis
and either Xavier or UCLA

 

[blazinjkid]

i actually meant to put that "

" face next to Clemson in theElite 8 as well

but i hope they prove me wrong

i'm not totally sold on GTown or Texas, but i don't enough confidence in Clemson or USC to put them in the Final 4 over the Hoyas. idon't think Memphis is gonna make it that far with their free throw shooting, so i went with Texas.

i have a feeling my entire bracket could go down the tube in a hurry, but we'll see

 

[scuse7]

I think Pitt is a wicked trendy pick. Everyone i know has been hyping them.

No way they beat Memphis. Same thing goes for Texas. They are more proven, but i think Memphis comes out of this region.

They are sooo deep. Good big men as well.
