    1st round upsets

    Wanted to start a thread for ppl to post their upset picks.

    Nc State over SDSU
    New Mexico State over Indiana
    Vcu over Wichita State

    Also think Duke, St. Mary's, and Florida State are all on upset alert in the opening round.

    totally agree with your first two.

    Adding Montana over Wisc. (at least a cover) I will be on it big.

    Totally agree with NC State and VCU. New Mexico state might play Indiana pretty tough, but ultimately I see Indiana being the most dangerous team in that part of the bracket-I see them making a deep run in this tourney. I have st Mary's being upset as well, but I think fl state rolls. Not sure how I feel about duke yet, I think they're definitely vulnerable and will lose in one of the early rounds, just not sure it will be to Lehigh.

    Yes I feel like they will play wisky close, I'll probably have Montana in an upset in few of my brackets.

    I guarantee three of the four #1 seeds won't make the Final Four. I only like Syracuse to make the Final Four and possibly win the whole thing.

    Vanderbilt always chokes first round. So gotta look at Harvard.

    I think both Colorado and colorado state could pull off 1st round upsets.

    Indiana should get in to second round....think NCST will be favored by 3.5 vs SDSU, the dogs.....

    Remember, Vegas lines and the seeding are two different things

    I see Nc state being +2ish. They haven't had any wins over top teams this year

    Colorado/Long Beach State:

    Mark my words.............

    Both either sweet 16 or Elite 8 teams.............

    Long Beach might even make the final 4.

    Don't doubt me and if you do,

    suck my nuts............

    First Round Upsets:

    (10) Xavier beats (7) Notre Dame

    (10) Purdue beats (7) St. Mary's

    (9) Alabama beats (8) Creighton

    (10) WVU beats (7) Gonzaga

    These are not upsets per se, but right now I think these teams will win and should cover if the numbers are low-ish

    Creighton beats Alabama handily.
    SD State beats NC State.
    St Marys beats Purdue going away.
    Southern Miss beats Kansas St.
    Harvard covers and upsets Vanderbilt.
    Xavier covers and beats Notre Dame with back to back 1st round exits for Bray.

    I also think Gonzaga will beat WVU, but Jones is a star, and it is hard to bet against dudes like him in the tournament.

    I really hope VCU loses first round, by double digit fashion.

    Might be the kick in the ass Shaka Smart needs to bail ship on a VCU program that'll probably never go further than he took them last year.

    That is the idea... honestly, with recruits like Derrick Rose and Anthony Davis, they aren't going to go to a program like Illinois without a scum bag like Calipari or a black guy they can relate to there. Shaka could turn Illinois into a top 10 program again if he recruits Chicago well, so it is just a question of how high Shaka Smart's motivation is.

    Cal/USF winner will beat Temple

    NC St will beat SDST

    Ohio will make the sweet 16...

    Your predictions seem to suggest you think the Big 10 is garbage. lol

    Lol, didn't even realize that...

    But even if Wiscy and Indiana win in the first round, I don't see them advancing to the sweet 16....
