Two upset locks: Northern Iowa over Texas & Iona over Iowa State.

Purdue is going to win it all. You heard it here first.

 

Purdue?  I don't think so.  But then I'm pulling for Michigan State, who should've gotten a No. 1 seed.  Maybe they can use that as extra motivation.  Regardless, I think this is MSU's best chance to win it all since they actually did win it all back in 2000.

Michigan fan here.  Go Blue.  But I am not sure that this is their year, given that they have a play-in game.   I give them only about a 70% chance of taking the crown   :P

 

I wish failure upon Notre Dame, Dook and USC.   I am okay with Georgetown because my dad went there, and with the Virginia schools because I grew up there.  I also root for Cal Berkeley because if you move to the Bay Area you eventually have to take sides between Cal and Stanford.   

 

I tend to support for all B1G teams when they get on the national stage other than THE Ohio State University because screw those guys.   

 

Mostly I root for little schools to get upsets.  The more times an Austin Peay, Wofford, or CSU-Bakersfield type schools gets to beat a Kansas or Kentucky or UNC type school, the better.

Games have been sorta meh so far.  Chalky.  Yale about to put an end to that.  I usually get in a couple of pools, but filled out brackets at espn in hopes of winning a trip to Hawaii instead.  Sound financial decision. :)

 

Brackets are fun, but as a hoops lover I never become a slave to that stuff.  I pull for the big upsets no matter who's playing.  I still find it kinda amusing that people get so bent out of shape over their brackets, therefore denying themselves the ability to find joy in what makes the tourney so great.

Baylor cut it to 2. Yale free throws right now

 

Not a big fan of Yale especially with the whole crisis that went down with their team supporting their fallen teammate 


Picked Yale but switched to Baylor 

 

Always go with your gut


Baylor with a fierce rally but might be too little too late

 

Shouldn't have fallen behind by double digits
