    First Round Big 12 vs. ACC showdowns:
    Texas vs. Wake Forest
    Missouri vs. Clemson
    Okahoma State vs. Georgia Tech

    Really wondering how far Baylor and Texas A&M can go.

    Can Washington beat Marquette?

    Julyan Stone - 6'6" PG, handles ball well, excellent defense
    Randy Culpepper - 6' SG, Great shooter, fast, great with steals
    Arnette Moultrie - 6'11" F, Member of under 19 USA National Gold Medal Team, Preseason Player of the Year
    Jeremy Williams - 6'7" F, Athletic as heck, streaky shooter, moved into starting position and team went on 15 game win streak
    Derrick Caracter - 6'9" F, McDonald's HS All American, Lousville Transfer, beast in the post.

    I for one, don't see the fun in arbitrarily picking winners...

    can someone shed some light on this phenomenon around this time?

    I will be watching San Diego State trying to pull the upset against Tennesse however. Tough task though.

    Here's some March Madness Trivia for you'se guys....

    Texas has had more schools make the NCAA Tourney than any other state.(23)

    Yet they only have one Championship to their credit and that school technically no longer exists.

    It was just renamed when they joined the UT Regent system.
    TCM is UTEP.

    UTEP seems to be a heavy upset favorite. I for one don't see it, though I am a huge Indiana homer. I believe Gordon Hayward gives Butler the edge over the more "athletic" teams they have faced in the first round in previous years, and they have to be getting tired of the "one and done" tradition in the tournament.

    My bracket is here: http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/entry?entryID=3042646

    Hope you guys can see it. I've got Ohio St. and West Virginia in the 'Ship, with Ohio St. taking it (and this is coming from a Michigan fan). Evan Turner is the best player in the country, period. I've got Wake Forest knocking out Kentucky. Game of the tournament IMO. My other upset specials are Wofford and Old Dominion, which no one seems to be calling.

    How about this MidWest bracket? INSANE: Sherrod Collins and Kansas, Vasquez @ Maryland, Monroe @ Georgetown, Evan Turner @ Ohio St., James Anderson @ Oklahoma St., not to mention the NBA talent @ Georgia Tech. You know Michigan St. and Tennessee will be a problem as well. 6 coaches in this bracket with Championship experience, 3 with titles. BRACKET OF DEATH!

    OD upsets Notre Dame, Harangody finishes with 4 points! Yes! I hatt ND.

    Next teams I'm hoping to see lose: Duke, Kansas (I know, I'm holding my breath anyway).

    Go Orange, and I'd like to see the Wildcats surprise all the doubters. Syracuse/Kentucky championship game would be

    I really wish I could have watched Villanova-RMU. CBS Gamecast wasn't the same.

    3/3 so far... my bracket holds strong.
  • G_BalliandoG_Balliando 3,916 Posts
    I thought RMU was gonna take that one...
  • GrandfatherGrandfather 2,303 Posts
    MURRAY STATE!
  • G_BalliandoG_Balliando 3,916 Posts
    So, 2 upsets so far... and by the sound of it, Robert Morris got Robbed (intentional pun).

    I got UTEP in the 16 too, but they gotta beat Butler first!

    I went with Syracuse all the way even though it's hard for me to imagine anyone beating Kansas.

    FF - Syracuse, Kansas, West Virginia, Baylor with Cuse taking down WV in the final
  • thropethrope 750 Posts
    well there goes my first sweet 16 team. F*ck youtep
  • ignastyignasty 163 Posts
    Night night UTEP stans. Perhaps basketball skill is more important than height and "athleticism" after all.

    7 for 8 so far.
