    What is your biggest tournament bracket reach?

    Seems tougher to make reaches this year. Want to put Ohio State n the Elite 8 and put Okla State or UK in the sweet 16...can't pull the trigger.

    Kentucky Losing to Florida for the 4th time this season in the championship.
    That's about the only big one. Other than that, all seems to be about normal minus an upset here or there. I clicked on Yahoo to auto fill to popular choices and only had a change a few teams around. So I'm going with the popular teams then only big thing is Kentucky. Just hope they get out of 1st round, then I think they match up well with everyone else.

    I dislike everything scarlet and gray, but I don't think it's a reach to get Ohio State in the final eight. You want me to pick them to lose in their second game to Syracuse? Can't do that; the Orange hasn't looked decent in, what, six weeks?

    I took K state to beat KU first round..I can see it..Also took Arizona to make final four..but I don't think they are great despite the #1 seed..praying OK ST falters first round

    This year I utilized the principles set out in "Bracketeering " by Andrew Clark which are solely based on statistics . Most important of these is scoring margin followed by created possession margin (rebound margin + turnover margin ) . Strangely these stats call for a repeat champion-Louisville . And by God they are looking awfully impressive right now. Louisville70 Gators 66 .

    What did these numbers predict the past several years? Michigan to the final last yr? Probably not. Wichita state to final 4 last year? Probably not. 2010 and 2011 butler both years? No way. Vcu 2010 no way
