Picking your Bracket

[STLDomer]

For people to post any good insights on teams and ask for help

 

[STLDomer]

Anyone know good websites that will have info on every team besides CBS, ESPN etc?

Also VCU-Witchita St? Belmont-Georgetown? Marq-Mizzou?

 

[returnofthemack]

VCU-Wichita St. is a fairly easy upset pick. VCU is a legit team, the Shockers (haha) are not.

 

[Grahambo]

VCU, Georgetown, Mizz

Dont know if serious? The Shockers are a very,very good team. Anyone that has seen them play over the last month would agree.

 

[NDTampa]

Wichita St. has some great ball handlers and a legit big man. VCU has no shooters and rely's heavily on Pressing the other team. If Wichita St. can handle the press it will be a very easy win.

yeah this is wrong. VCU might win but they are not the better team

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Agreed... Wichita State is a legit player here. Those kids can flat out play.

 

[returnofthemack]

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to hate on Wichita St. I just don't think they're that good. Obviously, none of us know what will happen, I just think VCU has really good coaching and can get it done. It's just their mascot always cracks me up and keeps me from taking them seriously. And I'll freely admit I haven't watched too much Wichita St. bball. So yeah, a fairly uneducated pick haha.

I picked against Notre Dame so I could be happy either way.

 

[KPENN]

^^^^ Good call with the Heels . Pretty ballsy Witchita St over Kentucky

 

[STLDomer]

If Notre Dame plays the way they have been they lose to Xavier, if they play the way they did during the streak then they can easily beat Duke and only thing keeping me from picking that is the fact that it is in Greensboro

I'm going with wichita. New Mexico or Long Beach St.? SDSU or NC State?

Personally I'd go with Long Beach state and MooU aka NC State

You lost already homie. There is NO WAY Wichita state is gonna beat Kentucky. And you have Ohio beating Michigan?????? That's funny. Not to be a bracket buster but I would seriously consider going through your bracket sober and not drunk. Or is this the bracket your wife picked the teams? LOL

Davidson, Belmont, Montana and South Dakota State? Dude! Really? Harvard going to the sweet 16???? Jesus Mary and Joseph! Vandy will beat Harvard by about 30.

Saint Mary's in the Elite 8????? LOL

Are you 7 years old and picking your favorite mascot?

Michigan is overrated, and all 4 of the teams I picked are prone to upsets. I was kinda high when I made this as well.

 

[CarrollVermin]

Ohio seems to be a trendy pick to upset Michigan. Fran Frascilla (I probably butchered that spelling) picked them as well.

Well then we have something in common because I just rechecked my bracket for espn and I have UNC Asheville going to the elite 8!!!! Ooops. I need to stop smokin so much. Regardless I hope you do well. Cheers.

[BeauBenken]

Peoples thoughts? on:

Memphis > Mich. St
K-State > Syracuse
Montana > Wisconsin
Georgetown > KU

 

[NDOM]

I think Memphis has the athleticism to beat Msu but I don't think they will. I have Msu on that one. K-State over Syracuse? No. Montana can beat Wisconsin, both play similar to one another and Montana has good depth so I picked Montana. I have Georgetown not making it that far to play Kansas but it could happen, but Georgetown is like us, too streaky.

 

[NDPhilly]

How far do you guys have FSU going?

 

[JD Irish]

 

[STLDomer]

How far do you guys have FSU going?

national championship..

i dont think they are the second best team but I got FSU > G-Town > UNC ...
> Vandy > 'Cuse ...

 

[NDOM]

This is a "Safe" bracket, should do ok but you did not pick many upsets if any.

 

[NDOM]

How far do you guys have FSU going?

I have Florida State winning 3 games.

 

[JD Irish]

I feel like this year it is especially difficult to pick any team not seeded 1-3 as making a deep run. I don't know, just looking at the matchups I genuinely couldn't find many big upsets I was comfortable picking.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Wichita State reminds me of 2009 Butler. I have them in the Final Four. They match up well with Kentucky.

Don't take Belmont over Georgetown. Georgetown's strength is 3 point defense and Belmont lives and dies by the 3 more than Notre Dame or Duke.
