[dahliaclone]

How far do you have Big 12 teams going?

Upsets:

• #12 James Madison over #5 Wisconsin
• #11 New Mexico over #6 Clemson
• #12 McNeese State over #5 Gonzaga
• #11 Oregon over #6 South Carolina
• #10 Nevada over Dayton

Big 12 Teams:

• Iowa State (Elite 8)
• Houston (Final Four but that makes me nervous but sticking with it for now ha)
• TCU (Round of 32)
• Texas (Round of 32)
• Baylor (Sweet 16 but tempted to actually have them go farther...they got a good draw IMO)
• Kansas (Round of 32)
• Texas Tech (Sweet 16)
• BYU (Round of 32)

Final Four:

• UCONN
• Houston
• Tennessee
• Arizona

Can't wait to see how wrong I am

 

[DSMCy]

Will probably be a popular upset pick but I'll take Samford over Kansas

 

[Drew0311]

Samford over Kansas . Book it

 

[Shawker]

Filling out my bracket and realized I really like the 11's and 12's to pull upsets.

#11 NC State over #6 Texas Tech
#11 Oregon over #6 South Carolina
#11 New Mexico over #6 Clemson
#12 UAB over #5 SDSU
#12 McNeese St over #5 Gonzaga
#12 Grand Canyon over #5 St. Mary's

I had KU getting upset and kinda hope they do but something tells me they somehow pull together a couple of wins and make the Sweet 16 honestly.

 

[Houston&Hoops]

I see Auburn beating UConn. With an Auburn/ Iowa State elite 8 matchup.

 

[acoustimac]

Never, ever bet on Arizona…they will always burn you

They've certainly shown ability to be good in moments. I mean they did beat Houston at one point.

Assuming McCullar and Dickinson are back, there's definitely a chance

 

[CycloneSpinning]

I see Auburn beating UConn. With an Auburn/ Iowa State elite 8 matchup.

I agree - I actually think there’s a good chance UConn doesn’t make the Elite 8.

 

[bsaltyman]

My Final Four: UConn, St. Mary’s, Houston, and Tennessee.

Notable upsets:
McNeese St to the sweet 16
James Madison over Wisconsin
New Mexico to the sweet 16

I think BYU will beat Illinois in the second round.

 

[Houston&Hoops]

I agree - I actually think there’s a good chance UConn doesn’t make the Elite 8.

In my opinion it’s a little annoying how the media portrays them as the only team without a weakness. If that’s true then they should be undefeated.

 

[ClonerJams]

Vermont over Duke

 

[dahliaclone]

I see Auburn beating UConn. With an Auburn/ Iowa State elite 8 matchup.

I have that in a big pot pool.

 

[dahliaclone]

The fact only three Big East got in has me wondering how good those three teams are. I think all three when they are playing their best can make the Final Four. But they're also maybe more beatable than I originally thought.

 

[MountainManHawk]

I opened this thread expecting to see everyone has picked Purdue to get upset. Maybe after so many times, it’s not really considered an upset anymore when they lose to a double digit seed?

 

[wgleason]

I have Purdue as the big10 team getting out of the first round with Morehead beating IL because who wouldn't want that

 

[AuH2O]

Self and his load management laughing at all the people picking Samford.

KU rolls.

GCU over St Mary’s for me.

 

[cytor]

The Midwest region is full of bracket busting. Purdue again will underachieve.

Midwest bracket sucks. Might be the year the seas part for Purdont to actually achieve something

 

[cyclones500]

Agree --- If Purdue as 1 seed in that region should get Elite 8 minimum ... and if it does, not sure who in bottom half of bracket is much of a challenge, unless Tennessee gets that far. {Speaking of sea-parting).

Not claiming PU can breeze through it -- some viable competition along the way, but -- if not this time, when?
