lol, why is this pinned?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:45 PM) Haha I figured some would have too many to list. That's why I called it crazy upsets, just list the "crazy" ones. I don't have too many insane ones things year, although a G-Town/BC elite 8, Wichita State in the S16, and #15 Winthrop over #2 UT are out there. My two huge ones in the first round are Winthrop and Xavier with the W's. I got a lot of upsets until the sweet 16 then it settles down a bit.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:33 PM) Personally, I think SIU has a decent chance to take down West Virginia. If they can limit the wide open 3's, they should have a decent chance. Witchita State can also hang with Seton Hall, that's a winnable game. Northern Iowa also has a chance against Georgetown, although they'll have to play pretty well to beat them. I don't give Bradley too much of a chance though. Bradley's got a shot because they can atleast keep up athletically with kansas. I don't think they'll win but it would not shock me one bit. I'm thrilled with the siu matchup, couldn't have asked for a better one to be honest. I fully expect the Shocks to win against SHU. As far as UNI, I think that'll be a real good, low scoring game but I expect gtown to pull it out.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) Ok, another idea. Post your crazy ass upsets here, and please nobody post their #9 beating #8 ideas. Here are mine..... 1st Round: #12 Texas A&M over #5 Syracuse #11 SIU over #6 West Virginia #12 Kent State over #5 Pittsburgh #15 Winthrop over #2 Tennessee (which leads Wichita St. to the S16) #11 UWM over #6 Oklahoma 2nd Round: #6 Indiana over #3 Gonzaga #7 Marquette over #2 UCLA #7 Wichita State in S16 (by beating #15 Winthrop though) #7 Georgetown over #2 Ohio State Sweet 16: #4 LSU over #1 Duke #6 Indiana to Elite 8 (by beating #7 Marquette though) #4 Boston College over #1 Villanova #7 Georgetown over #3 Florida After that, I get boring, with no game in which I pick the underdog seed to win. Those aren't ALL crazy, but they are all significant upset picks based on seedings. To many for me to list.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:50 PM) I always do just 1 bracket. I fill it out quickly with my head, figure that's the best way to do it. Ditto. I won't ever make 2 brackets, I just think that ruins some of the fun but that's just my opinion.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:46 PM) I shall enter aswell. I'll be doing 3 or 4 brackets this year and I'm sure all of them will be different. Boo. BORING.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) I'm still waiting for the past example where we got screwed in our bracket. The 4 seed in 03 in the region with Zona, Kansas, and Duke. Though you guys didn't make it that far as you lost to ND.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) I think playing Georgetown in the second round could be an interesting game. The Hoyas have enough size to make life difficult for OSU in the paint on both ends, which is a major problem since OSU hasn't been hitting their 3's at a very high rate of late. Ya, I have the Hoyas taking out OSU in round 2.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:26 PM) I think our draw is a lot harder. Hopefully we'll be matching up with each other. Two defensive teams going at it. West Virginia is a tough team. That's what I'm hoping, I actually love the WVU draw, I didn't want to face a team with an inside presence down low cause that could give us fits. We guard so f***in well on the perimeter, I'm just absolutely thrilled with that matchup. It would definitely be fun as hell to watch us go against each other, like cheat and I already said...wow, that game would be unbelievably low scoring.

This region is going to be make or break for a lot of people. This region could seriously be upset city; pitt, kansas, zaga, and indiana are all going to have real hard first round games. I got SDSU and Xavier moving on but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Flashes and Braves advance.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:30 PM) 1 game at a time, but I'm shocked we didn't play ourselves into the Minny regional. But all that matters right now is Northwestern State. NW State is a pretty damn good team too, don't get me wrong..I think you guys will win but NW state can definitely play.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:20 PM) I actually think you guys got a decent draw. Seedings are off, but I think your matchups are solid. I'm with you 100 percent here. Got to find a way to get past uconn but a real weak 2, a real weak 5 imo, unc is solid but I believe Illinois is better, I know msu is going to be everyone's sleeper but until they defend I don't think they do much.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:18 PM) IF we get past Air Force, Washington scares me a lot. You guys will beat washington, no doubt in my mind.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:14 PM) Here I go!! 1. Tennessee gets a 2. EVERY #3 and #4 seed has a better resume than Tennessee. Go ahead and check for yourself, it's true. Tennessee if they get lucky makes the Sweet 16 to be blown out by Michigan State or North Carolina. 2. Jim Nantz and Billy Packer- You 2 can f*** yourselves and go to hell. Sorry that all the at large can't be high majors like you want, assholes. 3. Illinois a #4: Iowa a #3 and tOSU a #2 is fair, but Illinois a 4?!?! Come on now, we are f***ed even if we survive to the sweet 16 and play UConn. Illinois finishes #2 in the #1 league in America, beats UNC at UNC....and we get a #4 to UNC's #3. Nice. 4. GW an 8. Yeah they are overrated, but an #8? LMAO, your kidding me. 5. UCLA goes 0-2 against a damn good Washington team. UCLA gets a #2 and Washington gets a #5. Also, Washington gets a #5 and Nevada gets a #5. Great job committee!!! 6. Air Force gets in over Missouri State? That isn't a joke, it's MUCH worse than that, it's pathetic. Have you seen Mizzou State's RPI?? It's about 70 spots higher than Air Force. Also, congrats Indiana fans, I think I might have you going to the Final 4 (and i'm pretty good at picking that) and I like how Duke is the #1 overall seed, yet the worst #2 seed BY FAR is in the UConn region, and Duke will get GW in the SECOND ROUND!! and then possibly LSU and that freaky athletic squad. Wow. G Wash has to get by UNC Wilm.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 05:52 PM) Mizzou State should have got in over Air Force. However, Creighton not getting in makes sense to me with their injuries and late season play. Doetzler would have been back for the tourny though which the committee says they look at. Complete f***in bulls*** and oh ya Hofstra would kill air force as well, complete bs.

I would just like to say that Mo State and Creighton would beat the crap out of Air Force.

I know Illinois fans are pissed about the seeding BUT I believe the winner of them and Uconn gets to the final four, actually there is no doubt in my mind.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 05:32 PM) Every member of this years committee should be fired for this bracket, for every reason possible. What a joke, and it goes FAR BEYOND just Illinois. Ya, these brackets are seriously f***ed up.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 05:31 PM) How realistic is it that Tennessee gets beat in the first round? I think it happens. I really do. Winthrop is one hell of a team and um...Tennessee plays no d.

The mvc got screwed by air force. UNI will be in, mo state and creighton out I think. I'm taking the 15-2 upset here without even thinking twice.

Ok, this is totally f***ed up. The committee was high. And bye bye tennessee first round.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 05:25 PM) Kent over Pitt is one I'll think long and hard about. Kent can ball, and it's the always fun 5 vs. 12 game. Upset potential all over this region. I'm taking pitt but the flashes winning would not surprise me at all.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) I could see Gonzaga losing to Xavier, and Indiana could kick their ass if they get past SDSU. This bracket is impossible to predict, I'm gonna suck it up. I'm going to take both of those upsets.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 05:22 PM) If IU can get past San Diego State, they can take down Gonzaga. Hell yea. SDSU will be a harder game then Gonzaga, no doubt in my mind. The zags are going to have to get by Xavier, who really is a solid team now that they got things back on track.

Wow, hard ass f***in game for IU.
