NCAA Tourney upsets (1 Viewer)

[Ballstein]

Who ya got so far...

12-SF Austin over 5-VCU

12-harvard over 5-CINN

 

[QuizGuy66]

I have the opposite of an upset. I think San Diego State is a mortal lock to win their first game. The WAC is a joke.

-QG

 

[ILUVBEER99]

American U.(15) vs Wisconsin(2) - Badgers have the potential to lose to any team

Wofford(15) vs Michigan(2) - Probably not but michigan could put up a clunker

These would be huge upsets, games like Harvard winning wouldn't really be an upset at all, they are only a 3 point dog.

 

[Wooderson]

12 NDSU over 5 Oklahoma

yeah, i haven't looked at the lines yet, I was going by seeding.

 

[Rubi]

"Upset" meaning lower seed wins. Then I like:

Dayton(11) over Ohio St.(6)

Harvard(12) over Cincinnati(5)

Providence(11) over North Carolina(6)

North Dakota St.(12) over Oklahoma(5)

N.C.State(12) or Xavier(12) over St. Louis(5)

Iowa(11) or Tennessee(11) over UMass(6)

 

[Brady Marino]

Harvard(12) over Cincinnati(5)

Providence(11) over North Carolina(6)

North Dakota St.(12) over Oklahoma(5)

Iowa(11) or Tennessee(11) over UMass(6)

Have these, plus Arizona State (10) over Texas (7) and all 9s except Kentucky. Brackets feel chalky still.

I agree with the "chalky" assessment,after the handful of round 2 "upsets" I see 1-4 seeds doing very well the rest of the way.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Pitt might have the best chance of a lower seed getting past their first game.

 

[Nipsey]

Providence, North Dakota St

 

[Ballstein]

Pitt might have the best chance of a lower seed getting past their first game.

I think they have A chance vs Florida

Manhattan.

 

[tjnc09]

Manhattan.

You should take them in the FFAWT draft

 

[Ballstein]

I had A vision...Wichita state loses to Cal Poly.

 

[Frostillicus]

Manhattan.

Manhattan turns it over a ton and they're playing Louisville. I probably wouldn't hang my hat on this one.

But in my bracket pool a chick joined and picked Manhattan to the elite 8 because "they probably have a lot of good basketball players in New York" so that's something.

Rules.

I was actually being facetious about Manhattan, but if I had to pick a 14-16 I'd probably go with Mercer, just on the off-chance that Mercer gets hot from 3 and Duke checks out early. Kansas looks vulnerable too obviously, but Mercer >> E. Kentucky.

I think Stephen F. Austin is the best upset pick, but if you're going deeper and longer I like Mercer. They shoot a bunch of threes so if they're hot you have that going for you, they have a couple of guys who should be able to penetrate against Duke's soft defense, and they defend the three pretty well.

I said deeper, longer, and penetrate in this post.

 

[ILUVBEER99]

Pitt might have the best chance of a lower seed getting past their first game.

Pitt is a 6.5 point favorite, so it will be an upset if they lose.

 

[Ballstein]

I really think Pitt can beat florida

 

[HughHoney]

Mercer.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

No wonder they call you Ballstein.

 

[tri-man 47]

I'm thinking Dayton not only takes out Ohio but also, then, Syracuse and NM.

I have Iowa State charging into the final four.

Poorly disguised UM slappy post.

 

[lod01]

For the Buffett Billion, Tulsa is taking out UCLA. You have to have either a #3 or #4 seed losing in round 1. I looked it up. Every year there is one of those.

I don't see it, but anything's possible.

I was just thinking, WSU is looking ahead to the other teams in their bracket. The WSU S.O.S. is questionable. It's an unlikely scenerio but the seeds are there.

True, but it was still worth 9 points in my pool.

Actually, I don't see my Wolverines going too far ...not enough inside game. Ever hopeful, though ...

 

[jon_mx]

"Upset" meaning lower seed wins. Then I like:

Dayton(11) over Ohio St.(6)

Harvard(12) over Cincinnati(5)

Providence(11) over North Carolina(6)

North Dakota St.(12) over Oklahoma(5)

N.C.State(12) or Xavier(12) over St. Louis(5)

Iowa(11) or Tennessee(11) over UMass(6)

Good calls....after only 6 games, 94% of the brackets are already in the ####ter.

 

[Wooderson]

12 NDSU over 5 Oklahoma

Yep

 

[TenTimes]

I've had this gut feeling Eastern Kentucky steals the show tomorrow. Grabbed them in both quarters pools. My favorite of the 15 seeds anyway.

 

[MAC_32]

Had NDSU, Harvard, and Dayton. St Joe's screwed up my run at early retirement though.

Yea,NC State had that game won,then they turned into...well...NC State.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Told ya SD State was

Mercer looking good for those peeps.

The deep sleeper (for round 1) I ended up putting on a couple brackets was NC-Central FWI

*-or Chris Dudley looking - your choice

 

[HughHoney]

Mercer.

Look at me.

I had SFA and N Dakota State but not Harvard. 25-4 right now. Best bracket I've filled out in my life and it's not close.

[MAC_32]

Wanted to pick Mercer and Austin, didn't have the stones to do it when I saw their opponents. Both can win Sunday too. I think North Dakota wins tomorrow, Dayton and Uconn stand a good chance too. Harvard and Pitt are toast though.

 

[Ballstein]

Like i've said before, I think Pitt has A decent chance

 

[HughHoney]

I got mercer, Baylor, and UConn moving on. 27-4 right now and it feels good.

I'm sticking with Florida but as somebody who watches or listens to every Pitt game, tomorrow is gonna be close till the end IMO. Pitt is really clicking, look for Newkirk to be a big factor.

i had pitt as a possible F4 team, then i saw their draw.

Was thinking they would land at 6 or 7 and avoid the huge 1 seed before the S16

nice job, 23-8 here, didn't do well on my 50-50 games. Figured the Uconn St Joes winner upsets Nova, but had to pick one to beat the other. My pick choked. Same story on VCU Austin. New Mexico in the elite eight was a big ball drop though.

Wish Mercer had drawn Ucla or San Diego, I'd have picked them there.
