How I've Done So Far...12-8...To quote my favorite coach..."WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT HERE?!?!!?" My bracket just got upended! My girlfriend...who has watched zero college basketball in her life is kicking my butt. Mike is only 1 pick above me, but damn that first day was rough. Hopefully today will be better.
Game 1: Friday March 22nd, 12:15pm, CBS
#2 Duke vs. #15 Albany
Duke is not losing to a SUNY team...I promise.
How
Far They Go: Duke could go all the way...I just don't think they will.
Game 2: Friday March 22nd, 12:40pm, TRU
#5 Wisconsin vs. #12 Ole Miss
This game is going to be a lot closer than people think. Ole Miss came on hot during their SEC tournament run, and that should provide some spark for this game. But overall I believe Wisconsin is the better team, and they'll pull this one out. But damn is it going to be close.
How
Far They Go: I have Wisconsin going to the final four. Like President Obama I also have a small amount of Big 10 bias...oh well no one is perfect.
Game 3: Friday March 22nd, 1:40pm, TBS
#8 NC State vs. #9 Temple
I have not been good with 8 vs 9 match ups, so whoever I take expect the other to win. I picked NC State in my bracket, so congrats Temple you win.
How
Far They Go: Whoever wins has the chance to go upset Indiana....but the won't, no matter who wins.
Game 4: Friday March 22nd, 2:10pm, TNT
#2 Miami vs. #15 Pacific
Miami was very close to ending up as a 1 seed in this tournament, and after the way Gonzaga played yesterday, they probably should have.
How
Far They Go:I like Miami, and it wouldn't surprise me if they made it to the "Final Four", but there is just something about Butler....
Game 5: Friday March 22nd, 2:45pm, CBS
#7 Creighton vs. #10 Cincinnati
If you are expecting the whole..."the Big East competition is better than what Creighton had" rant, then you'd be wrong. Cincinnati is terrible and Creighton is the real deal.
How
Far They Go: The real deal will have to take on the man that never ages next, Coach K. Coach K won't lose to Creighton, he ain't go time for that.
Game 6: Friday March 22nd, 3:10pm, TRU
#4 Kansas State vs. #13 La Salle
I picked K-State to win this game...but now I am regretting that decision. La Salle could pull off the upset here, and if today is anything like yesterday, then they will.
How
Far They Go: Up next will probably be Wisconsin, good luck with that one.
Game 7: Friday March 22nd, 4:10pm, TBS
#1 Indiana vs. #16J ames Madison University
I love JMU, my sister might even go there....but they aren't winning this game.
How
Far They Go: Indiana could go all the way and might.
Game 8: Friday March 22nd, 4:40pm, TNT
#7 Illinois vs. #10 Colorado
I HATE THE WEST, I HATE THE WEST...and apparently they hate me and told me to suck a big one yesterday. I picked Illinois but it'll probably be Colorado
How
Far They Go: Doesn't matter who wins, they have Miami next.
Game 9: Friday March 22nd, 6:50pm, TBS
#2 Georgetown vs. #15 Florida Gulf Coast
Didn't even know Florida Gulf Coast was a college....
How
Far They Go: Georgetown is a really good team, and I have them going to the "Elite 8" but it might not end there.
Game 10: Friday March 22nd, 7:15 pm,CBS
#2 Ohio State vs. #15 Iona
I have a lot of love for Iona. My girlfriends mother went to Iona, my grandfather went to Iona, it's in New Ro...but Ohio State is going to have a field day....
How
Far They Go:I have OSU going all the way to the finals. Some say stupid....actually most say stupid....
Game 11: Friday March 22nd, 7:20pm, TNT
#8 UNC vs. #9 Villanova
I picked Nova...so it's gonna be the Tar Heels.
How Far They Go: Kansas is not going to be an easy team to beat.
Game 12: Friday March 22nd, 7:27pm, TRU
#3 Florida vs. #14 Northwestern State
There was a time Florida was considered the best team in the country....
How Far They Go: The matchup between Florida and Georgetown could be the greatest of the tournament.
Game 13: Friday March 22nd, 9:20pm, TBS
#7 San Diego State vs. #10 Oklahoma
This game is a toss up...but I'm taking Oklahoma for the sole reason that they have beaten Kansas this year.
How Far They Go: Whoever wins doesn't get passed Georgetown.
Game 14: Friday March 22nd, 9:45pm, CBS
#7 Notre Dame vs. #10 Iowa State
I've gone back and forth with this one and I'm picking ND. I hate them, but they should win this game.
How
Far They Go: Ohio State is next.....
Game 15: Friday March 22nd, 9:50pm, TNT
#1 Kansas vs. #16 Western Kentucky
1 vs 16 seed
How
Far They Go: I have Kansas winning the whole thing. Kansas is 5-1 against top 25 teams...just saying.
Game 16: Friday March 22nd, 9:57pm, TRU
#6 UCLA vs. #11 Minnesota
I had Minny winning this one...but after yesterday UCLA might take it.
How
Far They Go: Next up is the Gators....not gonna be easy.
