NCAA Tournament - Page 2

My new final 4: Kentucky/Ok St/Duke/Unconn

Some upsets:Manhattan over Florida / W. Michigan over Vanderbily and Murrat St. over Illinois

I also have Tech beating St. Joes because Coach Knight is just THAT good.

Also, I'm torn between the the poissble 2nd round matchup of Pitt/Wisconsin. Can Pitt win on the road?

Preston, your sig has a big red x in it. http://allbaseball.staghost.com/beavrace.bmp seems be moved.

Everyone is picking the same teams for their final 4: OK St, Kentucky, Duke, U Conn...

Use some creativity and go out on a limb! The Final 4 is never made up of all #1 and #2 seeds. I guess by playing it safe you are more likely to hit one or two teams right but there's no fun in picking just 1 and 2 seeds.

I have Kentucky, UCONN, Duke, and Wake Forest. We'll see how that works out, it's so unpredictable this year.

JerseyPride · 03-16-2004, 04:20 PM

Some of the big question marks I have on my brackets:
Memphis/South Carolina.. Boston College/Utah.. S.Illinois/Murray ST

Also, I have Stanford getting into the Sweet 16 where they will then face Maryland. Can Marlyand beat them?

twins15 · 03-16-2004, 05:41 PM

I've done a little more research, and here is what I have come up with.

Final Four: Kentucky/Texas/Pittsburgh/Connecticut

Championship: Pittsburgh over Texas

First Round Upsets: Manhattan over Florida, Charlotte over Texas Tech, Arizona over Seton Hall, Western Michigan over Vandy, Louisville over Xavier, Dayton over Depaul, and the two that I am still debating - East Tennesse St. over Cincinnati, UL-Lafayette over NC State

marc · 03-16-2004, 06:34 PM

I agree with a lot of those upset picks, not sure about Charlotte over Tech but for the most party I definitely agree a lot of those are possibilities. As for Murray State over Illinois, don't pick that one, they just had some players busted for drugs and I just don't see it happening anyways.

JerseyPride · 03-16-2004, 06:40 PM

I had the Murray State over Illinois pick down, but now with this stupid Murray State player being busted for drugs, my pick may change. As I understand he wasn't just any player, he was the leading scorer for the team.

Ok what is so great about this Western Michigan team everyone has them beating Vanderbilt. I have never seen them play but I think people are putting too much presure on them

UD411Flyer · 03-18-2004, 02:37 AM

They're from the MAC Attack!!...Vandy a 6?!?!? My Tar Heels are a 6, Wisconsin's a 6!, that's a big slap in the face man.

The Professor · 03-18-2004, 11:20 AM

Go Salukis!!!

PrestonKaye · 03-18-2004, 06:17 PM

Sorry it didn't work out for them this year.

I imagine a lot of people had them picked to advance with the Salukis recent success in Tourney play.

The Professor · 03-18-2004, 06:43 PM

It was a good game...just didn't work out. Oh well, they played tough (as always) and - at least - it wasn't like last year and that lousy call against my other school.*

*ROFL..by the by, how about those Mizzou Tigers?! From Final Four favorites to NIT losers. Goes to show where Quinn Snyder's coaching will get you...

I think Cinci's looked like **** lately, and they always have a glass jaw when it comes to this tournament. They ALWAYS go down early

I have them going down in Round 2

Haha, hey, if they do, I won't be surprised. Knocking down Cincy is like playing Jenga on an airplane.
