ixcuincle Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm just glad we don't have to pay to play this pool. I have ethical concerns about paying for pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Since the tourney expanded to 64 teams, 12 seeds have won almost 38% of the 5/12 matchups and since 1985, the only years a 12 seed did not defeat a 5 seed are 1988, 2000 and 2007. 12's won 3 of 4 games last year. The 5/12's this year are: WVU/Buffalo Arkansas/Wofford Northern Iowa/Wyoming Utah/SF Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage520 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Shocking to me how so many Terps fans I've talked to are looking straight through Valpo and WVU at Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpage520 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Valp isn't bad Might shock Exactly. Just the kind of Cinderella team that emerges in the tourney EVERY YEAR. Obviously there are quite a few candidates for that every year. But Valpo is definitely one of them. And it's an overlooking mentality like I keep seeing coming out of the UMD fans that gets teams shocked and bounced early. Lol I mean don't get me wrong, I hate the Terps. It would be pure comedy for me to see them get bounced. But for the sake of discussion, I feel like it should be noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Shocking to me how so many Terps fans I've talked to are looking straight through Valpo and WVU at Kentucky. Not at all! This is March. Gotta earn every win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Kentucky will be the only 1 seed to make the Final Four. They'll also win the whole thing. The other top teams are too flawed. Someone needs to bump the Westbrook36 hates March Madness thread though. I absolutely love it, and actually agree with a lot of it. It cracks me up when Joe from Accounting who's watched like 5 minutes of college basketball all year is claiming Murray State is a sleeper or Arizona is overrated.

The Evil Genius Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Valpo has Bryce Drew (the shot) as their coach. That alone makes them dangerous. Just like Bobby ****ING Hurley is the coach at Buffalo. ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 My few thoughts on the bracket: -How can you not pick Kentucky to win it all? I don't see how they don't get at least to the Final Four. -Duke has a pretty easy go of it until the Elite 8 when they would square off with either Iowa St or Gonzaga. -The West region has some pretty solid teams in Wisconsin, Arizona, Baylor and UNC. Wouldn't be a surprise if either of those 4 made it out of the region. -The East is another tough group to pick from. Not sure what to make of Villanova. Virginia could be dangerous, but Justin Anderson needs to be healthy and they're potential 2nd round matchup against Michigan St won't be easy. Oklahoma and Louisville are wild cards. Both of those teams have proven they can be very inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Make the pool and make it free Make it now Mm is good but paying to play brackets violates my ethics. Same with paying to play fantasy football. I do this for fun. Don't attach money into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichmondRedskin88 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 VCU top 15 RPI and A10 champs but sent to the West Coast as the 7 seed of a three bid conference for the third straight year. No other team has traveled farther overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpage520 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 So did the outcome of last night's games or what happens in tonight's games have any impact on your brakets? If Hampton were to beat Kentucky, it would probably be the biggest upset of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
