The first round upset thread

[lawgator1]

At first blush, here's some potential first round upsets (based on seeding only) I like:


#9 Arky over #8 Indiana
#10 South Alabama over # 7 Butler
#9 Kent State over #8 UNLV
#11 Kansas State over # 6 Southern Cal
#10 St. Mary's over # 7 Miami
#11 Kentucky over # 6 Marquette
#12 W. Ky over # 5 Drake
#11 Baylor over # 6 Purdon't


I would even consider:

#13 Winthrop over #4 Washington State

Your first round upset possibilities?

 

[Jaytrain5]

#13 Siena over Vandy.
#12 Villanova over Clemson

 

[BigPapaVol]

don't see 9s over 8s as upsets. those are more tossups.

 

[Mullet]

you've pretty much named all the controversial 1st round games. Good job.

 

[Hotrodpinto]

I like some of those picks Law and I really think that either Indiana or Arky can beat NC. That would absolutely make my day.

why is that, doesn't Arky on a neutral floor scare you some?

Sarcasm duly noted.

But I don't think that the St. Mary's or Winthrop bandwagons are very full.

 

[dickens821]

I have Winthrop winning, actually.

Who is AU and who is TU

 

[sickemsmokey10]

Georgia over Xavier

 

[HawaiiVol]

who is TU?

 

[Pasadena Eagle]

sorry about that. i meant UT. still getting used to the idea of being able to talk a little smack this late in march!

go eagles!

 

[Jaytrain5]

Georgia over Xavier

If they played tomorrow, I might agree. UGA's momentum this weekend has been unstoppable.

 

[UTGRADnNC]

If one was only looking at the seeding, (in terms of upset) I think #10 Davidson beats #7 Gonzaga.

first rule of smack talk: know who you're playing

Actually, that's second. First is know where you are.

its UT, smart one. And you don't get to use initials.

That's what the guys on CBS have been saying, that Davidson is this year's George Mason, but I honestly don't see it happening.

I thought George Mason was this year's George Mason.

 

[volfan2024]

MTSU Blue Raiders over Florida Gators , in NIT of course.

Touche, though those are the words of Greg Gumbel (for all that's worth)
