Only favors TCU 56% to beat Syracuse.
That isn’t very high.
Other 6 seeds
Florida 72% to beat St. Bonaventure
Houston 72% to beat San Diego State
Miami 60% to beat Loyola.

Computers give Syracuse respect.

I always do the same. First thing every year, I always grab the week between Christmas and New Year's and my basketball days in March.

BPI gives us a 47% chance.

I like Rhode Island’s team but because they only have 1 big guy over 6’8” I gotta pull for Oklahoma just to give Duke a sweat second round.
Duke would pound URI inside so bad they would have little chance.

Oklahoma has some size at least it would be a game potentially.
Of course this is just because it’s our bracket and I want to win it all.

Starting off with URI/Oklahoma - free flowing game so far. Oklahoma looks a little better than URI early on

 

[Trueblue25]

Lets go rams!!

 

[Shawn91111]

Trae Young with no defense on back to back possessions

 

[CuseFaninVT]

oh crap. never did a bracket. well, that's weird.

this working when the games are on truly sucks. i need to go back to being an independent consultant. or hit the lottery.

 

[Alsacs]

I know the Big XII football conference doesn’t play D but man Oklahoma can’t defend Rhode Island.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Watching URI playing fast and pushing the ball down the court gives me sads.

 

[Alsacs]

Berry from Rhode Island is exactly the type of offensive Big we need.

He reminds me of Rick Jackson.

There is no doubt we are one of the worst styles of basketball to watch - even though it can be effective

Haha.. I opened my own business last year and was still training my team so I worked through the tourney but this year, they're all trained up, and I have zero intention of heading anywhere near my office today or tomorrow.

I had friends text me congrats on winning last night but also said they felt like I kicked their dog for 2 hours since they felt obligated to watch knowing how big of a fan I am.

mods - merge this w the first one that was started?

Picked OU because of Trae and I’m starting to regret it.

 

[longislandcuse]

I see URI realized that midget guards are allowed to play football. Good move putting Russell on Trae Young.

 

[Alsacs]

God I hate defenders sliding over and getting charges.

NBA doesn’t allow that crap.

 

[longislandcuse]

Ok, haven't watched a ton of OU. Trae Young is filthy.

He is college Steph Curry.
