Post your big first round upsets here...

[Chip]

I retired early from the upset prediction business. When you're bad at something, you shouldn't keep doing it.

I'm picking SU and the rest chalk.

 

[Briancuse]

Kentucky is my national champion. I cant even lie. Murray and Ulis will be VERY hard to stop

Not sure about National Champs, but I have them beating Unc in the sweet 16.

 

[jdubs30]

Middle Tennessee St over Michigan St (to be honest I haven't really looked)

I was actually going to say this. I loved MTSU and Kermit Davis -- I thought they would be a 14 and have a chance to win a game or 2 -- I don't think they'll beat MSU but they got screwed with the amtchup, they will give the Spartans a game. They will go 36 minutes or so toe-to-toe with them.

 

[jdubs30]

Yale over Baylor

VCU over Oregon St (Because Oregon St.)

UNI over Texas

People picking Stony Brook to advance are dreaming.

Yale is a good team but Baylor is just too big down low for them, I think. Although I could see Yale picking apart that Baylor "zone". I can't imagine them keeping Gathers or Prince off the boards though.

Yeah. I'm also surprised how most here seem to be (not Bilas) penciling in Duke to the Sweet 16. I think Gathers, Prince, and co. are going to beat them so bad on the boards. I think that one could get ugly. They are so physical. Assuming no Yale upset, that is.

interesting

 

[kirbivore]

I like SFA over Huggybear. I also like Gonzaga and Iowa to the sweet 16.

I'm picking Stone Cold Stephen Austin as well

 

[Chris02M]

iona over iowa state,yale over baylor,vanderbilt/wichita winner over arizona

 

[iommi]

iona over iowa state,yale over baylor,vanderbilt/wichita winner over arizona

If Yale wins, Duke will once again have a great draw. Shocker. I actually think Duke could handle Baylor too but they'd have a problem with the Bears' size up front.

 

[two3zone]

And surprisingly easy to root for. Ulis is like 5'10", 155lbs and just dominates out there. LOVE THAT. If anybody else was their coach, they'd be very likable.

Would have been nice if we put effort into Murray.

 

[Dave85]

Lower seed beats higher seed:

Temple, Hawaii, UConn, Providence, Pitt, Iona, Syracuse

 

[Deano]

Me either, but I have seen Tom Crean coach.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

I'm not Little Rock will be able to pull off the upset vs. Purdue, but I have a feeling they're going to give them a helluva game.

 

[two3zone]

 

[cuse62]

Lunar do and Gottlieb admit they were wrong.

 

[Briancuse]

Lunar do and Gottlieb admit they were wrong.

I think Lunar do goes into hiding after the brackets are released.

 

[SUintheVille]

No, say it ain't so!

But I acknowledge they could get to the FF since they are playing well, but the UNC game would be tough. Think I'll go for UNC.

 

[CousCuse]

He looks like Micheal Douglas in thay movie Falling Down , which ironically is what his team is good at.

 

[Doc5120]

I'm picking Stone Cold Stephen Austin as well

As long as they toss back some Steveweisers after the game, I'll be happy!

 

[We Are Syracuse]

No, say it ain't so!

But I acknowledge they could get to the FF since they are playing well, but the UNC game would be tough. Think I'll go for UNC.

Ill go for UNC too. HATE UK

I wouldn't have them there in any region except the one they're in. It's like the committee is trying to give conspiracy theorists ammo.

 

[longtimefan]

Would have been nice if we put effort into Murray.

Bad timing. When he decided he was going to re-classify to '15, SU had been hit with the scholarship limitations.

Plus, there's the whole Kentucky thing.

 

[longtimefan]

Lower seed beats higher seed:

Temple, Hawaii, UConn, Providence, Pitt, Iona, Syracuse

Lots of East Coast bias there.

 

[realorange]

Iona and Hawaii

 

[pearl31]

(not including any 8/9 games)
Temple over Iowa
Yale over Baylor
VCU over Oregon St
Chattanooga over Indiana
Stony Brook over Kentucky
Michigan over Notre Dame
Stephen Austin over WVU
Gonzaga over Seton Hall
Syracuse over Dayton

(so yeah, I'm going with chaos in the East)
