Title: NCAA Tourney 1st rd upset predictions Post by: Teed on March 15, 2007, 09:27:44 AM I got VCU over Doook.
What about you guys? Title: Re: NCAA Tourney 1st rd upset predictions Post by: stroh on March 15, 2007, 09:29:20 AM Hold on. I gotta find the link, and get the winnder up.
Title: Re: NCAA Tourney 1st rd upset predictions Post by: Clive on March 15, 2007, 09:33:55 AM Georgia Tech over UNLV.
Gonzaga over Indiana. Texas Tech over Boston College. Xavier over BYU. Am I on the trolley? Title: Re: NCAA Tourney 1st rd upset predictions Post by: Seamus on March 15, 2007, 09:34:39 AM I got VCU over Doook. The way I saw it that wasn't much of an upset, I have VCU too. I have #12 Long Beach State making a good run. I also have a #12 Old Dominion over a #5 Butler. I must have liked the #12 seeds because I also have #12 Illinois over #5 Virginia Tech.What about you guys? TOP THAT. (read "I may be screwed") Title: Re: NCAA Tourney 1st rd upset predictions Post by: Teed on March 15, 2007, 09:35:09 AM Hold on. I gotta find the link, and get the winnder up. Come on now, you don't print out a copy of the brackets and fill them in as your own personal copy? Damn...I thought everyone did that.

(read "I may be screwed") It's doook... they're always favorites in the sport writer's eye. Title: Re: NCAA Tourney 1st rd upset predictions Post by: stroh on March 15, 2007, 09:38:18 AM Am I on the trolley? Winthrop over Notre Dame. No rational, just a whim strike for early round leverage if it pays off. Michigan State over Marquette. Texas Tech over Boston College. Most say TT doesn't belong in the tourney, but I think they will surprise some people. Creighton over Nevada. Just to even it out, and pick an upset in each bracket. Title: Re: NCAA Tourney 1st rd upset predictions Post by: spacey on March 15, 2007, 09:39:42 AM I've got:
Winthrop over ND GT over UNLV Gonzaga over Indiana Weber St. over UCLA (lol) Title: Re: NCAA Tourney 1st rd upset predictions Post by: Seamus on March 15, 2007, 09:39:57 AM I got VCU over Doook.

[sm_laughatyou] pathetic10 beatdown in progress. Title: Re: NCAA Tourney 1st rd upset predictions Post by: spacey on March 15, 2007, 10:10:30 AM ASKE wins with Weber State over UCLA! I picked that one too. It's a huge long shot but Weber St. has been known to really come alive for big games in the tourney. I wouldn't honestly be surprised by either outcome in that game.Thread over.

It's a huge long shot but Weber St. has been known to really come alive for big games in the tourney. I wouldn't honestly be surprised by either outcome in that game.Thread over. yup, and ucla is known lately for choking out some easy pac10 and ncaa games not to mention... ucla is very mid-tier (barely top 20) in both adjusted def and off stats.... certainly a good team, but not indicative of a true #2. anyways, my 1st rounders 9 purdue over 8 arizona (anti pac10 pick) 9 villanova over 8 kentucky (anti mediocre kentucky getting in on legacy pick) 12 illinois over 5 virginia tech (illinois has far better defense than vt) 15 weber st over 2 ucla (anti pac10, see above... there's always a david/goliath game... just picked this one to be it) 12 arkansas over 5 usc (anti pac10, arkansas has a better defense) 11 gw over 6 vanderbilt (why would anyone pick the glorias?) 14 oral roberts over 3 wash st. (see ucla) 10 texas tech over 7 georgia tech (bob knight will find a way to win this) 9 xavier over 8 byu (xavier is really about a 6 seed in ability) 12 long beach over 5 tennesse (gut feeling, long beach isnt actually very good...)
