The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 That section isn't giving me issues. It's the Southeast that is killing me. There's no strong teams in that part of the bracket. Pitt is your weakest 1 seed, Florida is your weakest 2 seed. Wisconsin blows and will lose to Belmont in the 1st round. K-State is overrated. That leaves Jimmer and the Stormin Mormons in the final 4. I really want them to do well because I like Jimmer, but he can only do so much and that Mormon team isnt very physical after their main big dude got physical with his gf and got suspended. I just said **** it and let Pitt go to the final four...I'm not expecting anything from that division at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves Jimmer and the Stormin Mormons in the final 4. I believe the winner of the Southeast region will be one of 3 teams that are playing in DC this weekend. If Pitt can escape on Saturday against either ODU or Butler then I believe they'll be in the Final Four; however, both ODU and Butler not only have the experience to make a deep run, but they are also 2 of the hottest teams in the nation where both teams have won 9 straight games coming into Thursday's game.

Slacky McSlackAss Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have TX losing to Oakland (who I have going to the 16). There's going to be a 4-13 upset this year, but it's not gonna be Oakland. Oakland is such a trendy pick (along with UCONN in the Final 4). I just don't see it happening though. Texas is a VERY good team, and deserved higher than a 4 seed. You wan't the upset...take Belmont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsforlife101 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 My Upsets: 13 Oakland Over Texas 12 Richmand Over Vandy 12 Utah ST. Over Kansas ST 14 Wofford Over BYU (Yes I think it will Happen) However, I do think that Wisconsin survives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky McSlackAss Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 My Upsets:13 Oakland Over Texas I see it as a close game, but Texas survives 12 Richmand Over Vandy Agreed 12 Utah ST. Over Kansas ST Definitely agree 14 Wofford Over BYU (Yes I think it will Happen) Jimmer is enough to get BYU past the first round. However, I do think that Wisconsin survives NOPE!!!

MattFancy Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Utah St is going to make some noise. I can't believe they are a 12-seed. They finished the season #17 in the Coaches and #23 AP. No idea how they ended up a 12-seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckus Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 No way Texas is losing to Oakland. Though I hate K-state, I would not be so sure on a Utah State upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsforlife101 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Many of us are forgetting that Wisconson bet a very good Ohio ST. team yes they played like crap aginst Penn, State in the big ten tournament. However, I think this will be one of the best second round games on Thurday. Wisconsin by 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckus Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 It's gonna be a close game, but they will survive. I am a bit biased. . . . alright a lot biased. But UT wins by 20+. Maybe close at halftime, but a blow out with 10 minutes left. Hook 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman21ST Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 It's gonna be a close game, but they will survive. Oakland has huge home-court advantage though...I think it'll be a lot closer than people expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacky McSlackAss Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Edit: Though this year it's taking me a lot longer to pick It usually takes a lot longer to make a bracket when you're not just copying off someone else.

styx491 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 My upsets: Gonzaga (11) over BYU (2) Michigan State (10) over UCLA (7) ODU (9) over Butler (8) Utah State (12) over Kansas State (5) Richmond (12) over Vandy (5) Tennessee (9) over Michigan (8) I think I have more upsets this year than I usually do. My final four: Ohio State (winner) vs Texas, Kansas vs Pitt (winner). Ohio State wins the tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky McSlackAss Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I could have sworn they were playing in SoCal... Once they get to the Sweet 16/Elite 8 they will. And this isn't Oakland California. This Oakland University is located in Michigan. So it's double fail upon your part. ---------- Post added March-15th-2011 at 04:33 PM ---------- My upsets:Gonzaga (11) over BYU (2) Michigan State (10) over UCLA (7) ODU (9) over Butler (8) Utah State (12) over Kansas State (5) Richmond (12) over Vandy (5) Tennessee (9) over Michigan (8) I think I have more upsets this year than I usually do. . 8/9 and 7/10 games are never upsets also, Gonzaga isn't playing BYU in the first round.
