March Madness first round upsets

Featured Replies

So what is going to be the biggest upset of the first round :bringit

9.UAB over 8.Washington

13.Illinois-Chicago over 4.Kansas

9.Arizona over 8.Seton Hall

10.Louisville over 7.Xavier

9.Southern Illinois over 8.Alabama

12.BYU over 5.Syracuse

11.Western Michigan over 6.Vanderbilt

 

Wildcard pick:

11. Air Force over 6.UNC

I love Northern Iowa over Georgia Tech

 

They have been really hot recently and GT might just look past them in this 3-14 matchup

Manhattan over Florida is one that jumps at me. Princeton could give Texas guards big problems, but I am not sure they have enough to beat them. I also could see Richmond over Wisconson...

I'd agree with the possibility of those.

 

I also want to say that if Saint Joe's comes out and shoots like s*** again and Liberty plays a virtual mistake-free game, this could be a chance for a #16 seed has to take out a #1 seed. If that happens, it will be close.

Valpo over Gonzaga! :headbang That would be a 15 seed over a 2.

And then you woke up.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

I truly believe UIC can knock of Kansas.

SIU over 'Bama.

Mahattan over Florida.

UAB over Washington.

 

My totaly insane upset:

Vermont over UConn.

Utah over Boston College

Louisville over Xavier

Southern Ill over Bama

Arizona over Seton Hall

 

I agree that Western Michigan could beat Vandy, but I didn't pick them.

UIC over Kansas

Utah over BC and Georgia Tech into the round of 16

Charlotte over Texas Tech

Manhattan over Florida

Arizona over Seton Hall

East Tenn. St. over Cincy :headbang

SIU over Alabama

W Michigan over Vanderbilt and NC State into the round of 16

And then you woke up. 

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.  :D

It could happen...

 

Notice that wasn't in green. Hampton did it to Iowa State a few years back so a 15 seed winning isn't impossible.

Is anyone NOT taking Manhattan over Florida?

Hell yeah Manhattan! People, 9s and 10s don't count as upsets.

 

Princeton is always tough. Pete Carr, err, Bill Carm, err, John Thompson III can really run that Princeton offense. :lol:

 

I don't see Wisconsin losing in Milwaukee to Richmond, though I do think Pitt will beat em.

Richmond has some big upset this year already. I don't know if they can contain the WI guards, but they have played some big games this year.

My 2 upset picks are:

 

Eastern Tennessee State to beat Cincinnatti

Manhattan to beat Florida

Come on people, somebody has to pick Murray St over Illinois. The more people that do, the better chance of Illinois winning. Although, with 2 of Murray St.'s better players being arrested yesterday, that may have gone out the window.

 

My upsets are South Carolina over Memphis, BYU over Syracuse, Manhatton to the Sweet 16 beating Florida and Wake, and Dayton over DePaul. And a long shot, Northern Iowa over GT( :o ).

 

Everyone may now ridicule my picks... :)

I agree it can happen. But, as a comparison, I personally like Liberty's chances of becoming the first #16 seed ever to win then I do of Valpo's chances of beating Gonzaga.

Manhattan over Florida

Utah over BC

SC over Memphis

AZ over Seton Hall

SI over Bama

Western Michigan over Vandy

Is anyone NOT taking Manhattan over Florida?

I have Florida going pretty deep into the tourney...maybe the elite 8, I forget.

last time florida was a 5 seed they make it to the finals and lost to MSU

and that year they were in the same region as duke

 

foreshadowing for illini?

Steve sure hopes so... ;)

i think biggest upset will be manhatten over florida.

 

louisville over xavier wont really be an upset. i think louisville is a strong team and are much better then what there seed says.

i thought about it but i think Florida will get by them. I have Florida going out next round though

I'd agree with the possibility of those.

I was thinking the same thing. That Liberty team isn't a pushover. They deserved to be a 14 or 15 seed.. not a 16.
