What are some games you are anticipating for this upcoming NCAA Tournament? What first round games are you really looking forward to? What surprises are you expecting?

I think this is an exciting year with some nice underdogs. I do not think it will be a year with a lot of 1 seeds or 2's in the Final Four. I think the Final Four is up for grabs.


My Upset Picks And Favorite First Round Matchups

Oregon over Oklahoma State

Bucknell to the second round over Butler

Minnesota over UCLA

Wichita State over Pittsburgh

For Second Round and Beyond

I think UNC has a very good shot at beating Kansas in the Second Round.

I think a potential Florida Georgetown Sweet Sixteen matchup would be very interesting considering they never got to play that game on the aircraft carrier.

I think Gonzaga will be gone fairly early (either second round or sweet sixteen)

You guys are both silly. KU will make it past North Carolina and Michigan onto their way to the elite eight. Not sure if they will make it to the final four or not but their is no way KU will lose to any team lower than a 3 seed.

Minnesota over UCLA isn't an upset if you have been following college basketball this year. Just an FYI.

I agree about Gonzaga. I think Wisconsin knocks out buckeyes.... Arizona wins whole thing.

oh paper, in numbers, it is an "upset" but I agree, both teams are fairly even even tho the bracket guys did some seedings

a few teams I think that are underseeded:

Minnesota
Oregon

Impossible, if you thing Wisconsin knocks out buckeyes, then Arizona can't win it all and vice versa.

possibly Belmont over Arizona

Miami is great, they played fantastic ball during the ACC tournament. They just have to stay hot and motivated in order to get through, if Scott and Larkin can keep scoring like they did at N.C. State, then Miami will go very far. I just don't see anybody beating Gonzaga.

I pick Bucknell over Butler as well, along with Davidson over Marquette. For kicks and giggles I'm saying Iona upsets Ohio State. The Buckeyes are usually far overrated anyway.

Wow. Butler getting no respect. The best pound-for-pound tournament performer in recent history. Check it.
