Predicting Round 3 of the NCAA Tournament Part 1

How I've Done So Far...21-15...Well there goes my bracket....day 1 was ridiculous than day 2 was a mother fucker! I'm just going to have to accept the fact that my girlfriend is going to destroy me this year....

Game 1: Saturday March 23rd, 12:15pm, CBS

#4 Michigan vs. #5 VCU

VCU looked great in it's first round matchup, and Michigan came on strong at the end. If Michigan can play to the level that they should be playing, then this game won't even be close.

How Far They Go: Up next should be Kansas, but after yesterday who the hell knows?!?!?!

Game 2: Saturday March 23rd, 2:45pm,CBS

#3 Michigan State vs. #6 Memphis

Memphis barely beat St. Mary's, so there is no way they beat Tom Izzo's team.

How Far They Go: The matchup between Michigan State and Duke will be one to remember for a long time.

Game 3: Saturday March 23rd, 5:15pm, CBS

#1 Louisville vs. #8 Colorado State

Louisville looked like the #1 overall team in the tournament last round. This one will be over by half time.

How Far They Go: I don't have them winning the whole thing, but what the fuck do I know?

Game 4: Saturday March 23rd, 6:10pm, TNT

#6 Arizona vs. #14 Harvard


I had Arizona losing to New Mexico in this round but instead they are going to face Harvard. Harvard could be on one of those rolls where they just destroy everyone's bracket. When did Jeremy Lin go back to college?

How Far They Go: Not going to even give a prediction here.


Game 5: Saturday March 23rd, 7:10pm, TBS

#4 St. Louis vs. #12 Oregon

I have jumped on the St. Louis bandwagon. Now they'll probably lose because I said that.

How Far They Go: Even if St. Louis beats Oregon, they will have to face Louisville next. What a present for making it to the "Sweet 16".

Game 6: Saturday March 23rd, 7:45pm, CBS

#3 Marquette vs. #6 Butler

Marquette looked terrible last round which makes me feel better about picking Butler.

How Far They Go: Butler is going to the "Final Four"!

Game 7: Saturday March 23rd, 8:40pm, TNT

#1 Gonzaga vs. #9 Wichita State


My girlfriend picked Wichita State to win this one because she likes saying "Wichita". Fuck it, makes enough sense to me.

How Far They Go: Possibly the "Elite 8".

Game 8: Saturday March 23rd, 9:40pm, TBS

#4 Syracuse vs. #12 California 

Alright I'm going to buy into the west here. Cal takes down the Orange Men.

How Far They Go: The winner of this game gets to face Indiana...well it was fun while it la

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.
