Post your Bold Predictions for the NCAA Tourney

[mofome]

whos going to make noise? whats your biggest upset in round 1? whos going to make it much further than anyone thinks?

we'll check this fucker out after the final 4 and see who knows their shit.

[dwaechte]

Here's a list of the most surprising things I can see happening/think have a better chance of happening than most people would. Obviously not all of these will hit, in fact theres a good chance none will, but if I had to pick a group of plays to go out on a limb on these are them.

Clemson in the final 4.
Kent St. over Kansas in rnd 2
UMBC over Georgetown
Georgia in the Sweet 16.
Winthrop over Wash St.
Cornell over Stanford
Cal State Fullerton over Wisky
No 12 seeds win in the first round.
Midwest bracket gets absolutely torn up.
Memphis wins it all.

As you can see I'm not a fan of slow, plodding teams.

[trytrytry]

huge runs by UNLV and W virginia...both to final 4!

[Red_Sux]

ucla ML round 1

[BigOrangeTitans]

UCLA will NOT make the final four.

[buztah]

Austin Peay pounds Texas 90-61.

[goldengoat]

drake is going down
vandy might get KO'd in the 1st also

[Sportsgirl]

Butler makes the sweet 16 and Pittsburgh makes the final 4.

[Wassymac]

3 Big Ten teams in the Elite 8

[buztah]

The Wisconsin snail phucking Badgers take it all 42-30 over Kansas in the most painfully boring final game ever.

[hoopster42]

not too crazy but i've got a few "surprises" that i dont think many ppl will have:

Louisville to the Final 4
Wisconsin to the Elite 8
Marquette to the Elite 8
Xavier to the Elite 8

final: (not so out on a limb): Kansas over Memphis by 7

[LT Profits]

Drake makes Final Four

Neither UCLA nor Memphis reach Elite Eight

3 Big East teams reach Elite Eight (I do have all three losing, but if one or two make Final Four, don't hold it against me...LOL)

[ms61853]

Vanderbilt makes the final four.

[MadCapper]

since i have duke and tennessee not going to the sweet 16, i took american and belmont

i also have temple beating mich st.

butler in elite 8

st joes sweet 16

i have nova beating clemson and vandy

i have drake playing xavier in the elite 8

[Chance Harper]

Memphis was my pick at the start of the season to win the championship and I am sticking with that pick. The Tigers will beat the Tar Heels in the Finals.

[aszzzbrokerman]

1. UCLA is going to win it all.

2. Clemson to make it to elite 8

3. Sienna takes Vandy out in the first round.

[LT Profits]

i have drake playing xavier in the elite 8

Ditto for me!

LT, you and i can gloat together if that happens becoz i picked it to, and have defended the big east to some ppl on here who refuse to acknowledge it as the best overall conf this season, i'm tired of hearing about the whack-10, we'll see what happens in the tourney, ive got stanford, oregon, arizona, usc, all going out early, only have ucla and wazzu advancing to sweet 16 and beyond

[HedgeHog]

In general, I expect at least 4 seeds of #12 or worse to advance.

Specifically, I see Pitt having a major letdown in round one against Oral Roberts. Panthers had a grueling Big East tourney and may take O.R. for granted. "Gay Bob" sneaks up on Pitt for perhaps the biggest upset of the Tourney.

Awww, Hedge. I thought we were tight buds?
I have Pitt in the final four

[seaborneq]

Clemson and Stanford out the first weekend.

[Quebb Diesel]

bold prediction...10 is the lucky number!!!

[EaglesPhan36]

*Coppin State wins the play-in game
*USC in the Elite 8
*Louisville and/or Duke will be scared shitless in their 1st Round game & win in OT to advance
*Villanova or Siena will make the Sweet 16 in the Midwest

[Louisvillekid1]

Wintrop over wazzou

St. Joes over Oklahoma

S Alabama over Butler

Nova over Clemson

Davidson over Zaga

Templs over Mich St.

St. Mary's over Miami (FL)

A&M over BYU

Western over Drake

Baylor over Purdue

West V beats Duke

Marquette beats stanford

Mississippi St beats Memphis


7/8 Big East teams make the Sweet 16

3 Big East teams make the Elite 8

2 Advance to the Final Four

[Quebb Diesel]

the big east WILL NOT have a team in the final four

[HedgeHog]

Awww, Hedge. I thought we were tight buds?
I have Pitt in the final four

Should they survive a 1st Round scare, they could definitely recover for a Final Four run. Are we good again?

Well, I have three Big East teams in the Elite Eight, although I have all three losing. It is not unthinkable that one of them will advance.

true...im half way finished w/ my bracket and might not have a big east team in the elite 8...im assuming you have pitt, lville, and gtown no? the only big east team i might have in the elite 8 is georgetown...its a coin toss between wisconsin and gtown IMO...lville losing to tenn and pitt losing to MSU...pitt WILL NOT get all those no calls they got in MSG...
