NCAA Tournament “realistic” Predictions

[RustShack]

Alright who’s winning it all? Who are the “dark horse” teams? Who is Cinderella? Gun to head pick eight teams to win first two rounds?

And to make it an Iowa State B-Ball Thread, who is a coaching candidate for us in said tournament?

P.S.

It’s probably been years since I started a thread. And I mean years(The Rock voice).

I put UConn in my final 4. They have good guards; that said they'll probably lose their first game.

I also threw a few bucks on Georgetown to win it all; they're hot right now so I figured why not.

My Cinderella is UC Santa Barbara to make the Sweet 16.

Win it all? I have to go with Gonzaga. I think they come out strong after having a scare against BYU.

Gun to head eight teams to win first round games... all the 1s and 2s because I like to live.

Do you mean 8 notable upsets in the first 2 rounds? (Not trying to be difficult, just clarifying)

 

[Shawker]

Not sure they're technically a dark horse per se but I like Arkansas and put a unit on them to win it all. Do I think they will? Probably not. But the odds were great.

I think only three teams really have what it takes to win it all baring major upsets. Zags. Illini. Baylor. And I’m a bit iffy on Baylor as of late. I can see them losing to UNC.

I’m solo here but I think the seniority and slow pace and high fg percentage gets Liberty over Okie State. OSU reminds me of us against UAB honestly. Everyone saying how good they are and how well they’re playing and they are. But this is the same team that lost to TCU. Twice. All it takes is Cunningham having a so so game and the are in big trouble. It will bust my bracket I’m sure but that’s my upset no one else seems to be going with.

I watched Florida state a few times and a month ago said they’re my dark horse so sticking with that. And call me crazy but I think Oregon makes the Elite 8 if they can beat VCU and Iowa.

Part of me wants to pick UConn over Alabama.

I’m not gonna pick it but I think Illinois vs Loyola will be an OT type game.

I also think Arkansas and LSU are underrated

Dark horse winner: Alabama (2 seed but I don’t think many are picking them)

Sweet 16 Cinderellas: UCSB & Ohio (and would play each other
