coppin state plus the points, i went with them because:

well, i got a crappy number of 6.5 because i thought it would drop to 5.5 at tip, so i nabbed 6.5 on sunday nite, heres my rationale:

coppin state has the same coach (fang mitchell) that took them to the dance about 10 yrs ago when they knocked off #2 seed s. carolina in the first round. if you dont remember this game, you havent been following long enough to understand how huge an upset this was as the #15 seed shocked the #2 seed. little coppin state and their coach with the funny name, fang mitchell. anyhow, add that to 5 returning starters this yr at coppin of whom 4 are seniors, and they were on a tear the past 15 games or so. i think they have a great shot to win straight up, so i took the 6.5 and ran with it

I remember having South Carolina going to the Final 4 that year. Good guards on that team.

[hoopster42]

i also picked s. carolina to the final 4 that yr, maybe thats why i remember the game so well, lol

[hoopster42]

ur rite, they had like 3 excellent guards, but they lost two straight yrs in the first round, once as a 2 seed in '97, and again in '98 as a 3 or a 4 seed, they were reg season studs who were duds in the tourney

I played them only because they were dogs and thats a winning profile early in the March Madness funfest.

If you missed it the first time he said it, Brent Musburger just reminded everybody Chopin St is a 7 point underdog.

[hoopster42]

if i'm stupid enough to post any more of my crappy picks, i recommend that anyone who sees my picks should fade the shit out of me, i suck shit rite now, fukk me, this is brutal, last yr is a distant fukkin memory with good i was in college hoops, maybe last yr was all luck, this fukkin sucks

[jtuck]

I felt good about this play as soon as i saw the line, cant believe they went that cold on us. Need minnesota to cover bad

[turnip]

don't feel too bad hoopster, it was a 2-point cover could have gone either way
