    Picking Oregon to the sweet 16 and Florida State to the final 4.

    Duke over Tennessee in the title game.

    To win tourney pools u pretty much have to pick the winner of the tourney

    But u also need some other non conventional picks to get u points that others don't get.

    While others are focused on UCI, I'm picking Oregon to get to the sweet 16.

    And while others are focused on gonzaga, Michigan, and textech, I'm picking Florida State to win that region.

    Final 4 duke, fsu, UNC, Tenn.

    Duke over Tenn in the final

    And of course I have Murray state, liberty. And Belmont winning in the first round.

    And look the phukk out for Nevada. That team is damn good.it's tourney time and I love it !!!!

    Good luck. Personally think Oregon getting too much love but they’re playing their best ball and their path to the Sweet 16 isn’t too difficult. Wisky and KSU not world beaters.

    UCI has a good shot but then that should be good for Oregon on paper. Playing the 13 instead of the 4.

    Gotcha. You may be on to something here. Still haven’t filled out my bracket. It’s just for fun so not all that excited to do it anyway. I really think we’re gonna see some good upsets this year. Could see higher seeded teams making it to the FF. Still think UVA cuts down the nets though. I’m in the minority there but someone else will take out Duke for them.

    I've got Tenn beating them in the elite 8. Tony Bennett defensive style excellent for reg season but in the postseason all teams are good so u have to score buckets. They exert so much energy on D that they are left exhausted on O. Last year 16 seed UMBC didn't just beat them they smashed them. I think doubt creeps into their minds and they bow out before the final 4. I hope I'm wrong because I like their program and that coach

    I want to pick FSU but I already have UNC and UVA in the FF. That’d be three and if I’m wrong on Duke then all 4. Got Nevada beating them to go to the FF. Thought about putting FSU in and then UK over UNC. I like FSU but Hamilton is a bum and will blow it eventually. Tennessee has the same issue with Rick Barnes. Bennett will coach circles around him. Just don’t see him bringing a team to the FF. Sparty/Nevada/UVA/UNC is what I’m going with in my first and main bracket. I’ll probably fill out a bunch for shits. VaTech and Miss State sleepers in the Duke bracket but went with Sparty. Really think the ACC wins it.

    Bostongambler is on this too, riding the momentum of air he picked up from his $2,501 fake wager on them vs. Arizona earlier.

    He MIGHT forget to place the fake wager at the fake book because he's too busy rubbing one off to SBR posters' facebooks which is his actual reason for posting at sbr, but it has a chance.

    Wait no, it's all fake except for the proven stalking of dudes and of course the airbets

    good luck with the fsu part. talented squad no doubt but like always go on way too many scoreless periods, usually in key stretches, to win that many games in the tournament.

    true. but they did make the elite 8 last year and almost the entire core of that squad returned. to get a 4 seed after playing in the crazy tough ACC all season, means something.

    I have either FSU or TTECH winning the West region too much athleticism, defense, and both squads elite 8 a year ago.

    FSU and Nevada in the Elite 8 !!

    that will be a change from the 6 years bennett has taken them to the ncaa tourney. only two appearances in those 6 years in the second wknd (one sweet 16 and one elite 8). they better make buckets or they are in huge trouble in that region !!

    Total wild card IMO

    true. i am banking on their elite 8 appearance last year and the majority of the team is back from that.

    GO LEONARD HAMILTON to make his first final 4 !!!

    FSU has no offense. A lot of losers posted in here. Need I remind you of last years finals between two #1 seeds who also return to the tourney as #1 seeds?

    Duke gets popped before the final. They can't shoot the 3 at all and only have 3 real scorers

    FSU has GREAT D and they made the Elite 8 last year. easy to pick Gonzaga, Mich, or TexTech from that region, but to win NCAA pools routinely like I do, you need to have BALLS and pick something different.

    last year was #1 seed Nova vs #3 seed in the final. this year Nova is a #6 seed and Michigan a #2 seed.

    WTF are you talking about man??

    I agree they did lose a few impact guys but their bench has come along late in the year and are superior on the defensive side of the ball with 2 erasers around the rim love how effective their style of play is very underrated coach in Beard. They've gone unnoticed for the most part but are quite talented as many 4 star players on their roster as they've had in years. Gonzaga will be the tough out but trust FSU has the tools to derail the zags.

    and Nevada and Mich have the tools to take out TexTech !!! they won't sneak up on anyone now after having been in the elite 8 last year. but i agree, a very good coach there in Lubbock
