March 19, 201313 yr QUOTE (SnB @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 07:57 PM) Then you wouldn't be filling out multiple brackets.... The gut leads me different places with each bracket
March 19, 201313 yr So you guys have the big ten as 75% of the final four? I'll take it, I just read that and say...wait...

I was actually pretty much joking. I have Kansas and Lou going to the final 4 in most of mine, IU as well. The West is so wide open.

If MSU didn't have to potentially go through Duke & Louisville, I could 3 B1G teams in the F4. I think OSU & Indiana are probably favorites from their regions, not that it means all that much once the madness starts.
March 19, 201313 yr So Gonzaga has only made it as far as the elite 8 once? Yeah, got you going out early now boys.

So many good teams with great histories of winning titles.
March 19, 201313 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 19, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) That Region is just brutal to pick. So many good teams with great histories of winning titles. The removal of the S-curve gave the #1 overall seed the toughest bracket on paper.
March 19, 201313 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 19, 2013 -> 06:46 PM) The removal of the S-curve gave the #1 overall seed the toughest bracket on paper. You can make an easy case for the top 3 seeds each to win that bracket, plus a couple of fringy cases.
March 20, 201313 yr My problem with Florida is this.... They are 0-6 this year in games decided by less than 10 points this year. They are 26-1 in games decided by 10 or more. Which Florida team will show up? They can't escape close games the whole tournament. How will they respond?

I think OSU & Indiana are probably favorites from their regions, not that it means all that much once the madness starts. I put it together and wound up picking the same setup, 3 B1G in the final four. When it comes to matchups like that, I'll take the Izzo coached team until proven otherwise, his team always just seems to handle tournament style so well.
March 21, 201313 yr QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 20, 2013 -> 09:08 PM) Heres what I got: Ville, OSU, Florida, Indiana Vill v Florida Florida champs I oddly dont have any of those teams even getting into the elite 8. Your bracket and mind sound pretty similar.
March 21, 201313 yr Yeah I posted my full bracket in your article. I actually didnt even see what you did until after I posted mine, so I was pretty surprised that we both had Ville v. Florida, just in reverse.

March 21, 201313 yr In my annual picking Wisconsin to win bracket, I have Wisconsin over Indiana in the final. Just thought that was to amazing to pass up

March 21, 201313 yr QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 20, 2013 -> 09:08 PM) Heres what I got: Ville, OSU, Florida, Indiana Vill v Florida Florida champs For some reason I was thinking Vill = Villanova and I was super confused
March 21, 201313 yr QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 20, 2013 -> 10:08 PM) Heres what I got: Ville, OSU, Florida, Indiana Vill v Florida Florida champs I would've bought Florida a month ago but the Gators being 0-6 in games decided by single digits is too hard for me to overlook.
March 21, 201313 yr If you go to your Yahoo bracket, in the top right they have options for automatic picking by random, RPI, etc. One of them is "party schools." Plug that in, I agree with the results. Edited March 21, 201313 yr by IlliniKrush
