NCAA Tournament picks

[NickZepp]

1) Final Four

Syracuse, Ohio State, Baylor, Kentucky

2) Lower Seeds making it to the round of 16 or better(8 or lower)

12 seed UTEP, 13 Seed Sienna, 10 Seed Florida, I may pick St. Marys over Nova but I'm back and forth on that one.

I thought about picking Gonzaga over Syracuse but that's really only if Onuaku is not healthy.

3) How do you have the Big 12 doing?

Kansas-Elite 8
Baylor-Final 4
Rest not making it out of the first weekend. Although I may change my mind on Kansas State beating Florida. Texas and OSU win their games, Rest lose their first games.

I've got 3 for different groups and try to pick some of the games different for each one so if one tanks, maybe the others won't.

For OUHoops, I have some Big 12 love present:
Final Four- Kansas v Syracuse and WVU v Baylor

I've got 5 in the EE; ut, KSU, and OSU with BU and KU. I've got A&M out in the SS and Mizzou out in the 2nd round. I'm thinking this one will tank.

This is a weird year. One one hand, this tournament seems as wide open as it has ever been, and I think craziness is about to ensue on an unseen level. On the other hand, I don't think there are very many teams capable of winning it all.

To say it's wide open, and then to also say not very many teams are capable of winning it all seems like the opposite thought process, but I think they are both true for some reason.

I agree 100%. I think there are about 10-15 teams that can make it to the Final Four, but I can only see 2 teams with a chance to win the entire tournament.

 

[JBaker]

Final Four:
Kansas, Syracuse, West Virginia, Baylor

Sweet 16 low seeds: 11 Washington, 11 Minnesota, 12 Utah State. I also have 6 Tennessee to the Elite Eight.

I have K-State to the Elite Eight, Baylor to the Final Four, Kansas winning it all, Texas getting one win, and everybody else losing in the first round.

 

[DFWHoopster]

you all are crazy for picking Baylor in the Final 4. I love the Bears and this year's team, but I don't see it.

I'm going: Kansas, Kansas St, West Virginia, Duke

Georgetown is my darkhorse, but that bracket is so brutal. And they aren't consistent enough.

Upset special: Utah State over Texas A&M

 

[Cheno]

Final Four:
KU, Syracuse, Kentucky, Duke.

KU cutting down the nets.

 

[stoops4pres]

I just don't see Duke going to the Final 4. Think they have the same flaw as every Duke team has had post-2004: Lacking in athleticism. I think they'll make a good run, but even in the easiest region I don't see them making it that far.

Final Four:
KU, Syracuse, Kentucky, Duke.

KU cutting down the nets.

Way to go out on a few limbs there.

Sweet 16: KU, Maryland, Tennessee, Ohio St, Syracuse, UTEP, Pittsburgh, KSU, Richmond, Baylor, A&M, Duke, West Va, New Mexico, Cornell, Kentucky

Elite 8: KU, Tennessee, Syracuse, KSU, Baylor, Duke, West Va, Kentucky

Final 4: KU, Syracuse, Duke, West Va

Champ game: KU vs. West Va, KU champion

Elite 8: KU, Tennessee, Syracuse, KSU, Baylor, Duke, West Va, Kentucky

Final 4: KU, Syracuse, Duke, West Va

Champ game: KU vs. West Va, KU champion

Wow... Very similar to me.
I just have Wisconsin over Kentucky and Baylor over Duke.

 

[seniorsooner]

I had Baylor but then changed it when I saw DFW say that was a crazy pick

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

My two biggest upsets in the first round:
Houston over Maryland
Cornell over Temple
I also have UTEP winning, but that seems to be a fairly popular pick.

My FF is Kansas, KSU, Kentucky, and Duke with Kansas beating Duke

 

[JBaker]

My two biggest upsets in the first round:
Houston over Maryland

I had this at first, and then decided I was crazy and changed it.

 

[seniorsooner]

I got Mary-land in the sweet 16

 

[NickZepp]

I don't think Houston is any good. I know they beat UTEP twice, but I think Maryland's got more talent.
