Me too, looking at the schedule of games right now.

9 Baylor vs 8 Miss State
15 Robert Morris vs 2 Alabama
14 Lipscomb vs 3 Iowa State (hoping this is an upset special)
12 Colorado State vs 5 Memphis (always a fan of Penny losing)
16 Mount St. Mary's vs 1 Duke
10 Vandy vs 7 Saint Mary's
11 UNC vs 6 Ole Miss
13 Grand Canyon vs 4 Maryland
16 Norfolk State vs 1 Florida (this is probably my #1 most wanted upset, would be hilarious)
14 Troy vs 3 Kentucky (also a big upset want)
10 New Mexico vs 7 Marquette
13 Akron vs 4 Arizona
9 OU vs 8 UConn (Hurley losing in Round 1 would be beautiful)
11 Xavier vs 6 Illinois
15 Bryant vs 2 Michigan State
12 Liberty vs 5 Oregon


Bold are my picks, went pretty chalk for the most part.

Outside me picking Baylor, this is exactly how I’m looking at today. Would be a-ok with some of my picks being “upset” today though too lol

My number 1 upset I want is def Troy over UK.

1. I do not want to face them again, especially with it being in Indy. They already travel really well. It would be basically a home game for them.

2. I hate UK more than any other team. Them losing to another 14 seed two years in a row would be EPIC!

3. The two teenagers who were Uk fans that sat next to me yesterday were super annoying rooting for Wofford (petty I know lol)

Yeah, as much as I'd love to beat them in Sweet Sixteen....I also believe the best philosophy in the tournament is play the lowest seed possible.

Last year UConn avoided the top seed possible in every round they played.

Round 2 played 9 seed instead of 8
Sweet Sixteen played 5 seed instead of 4
Elite Eight played 3 seed instead of 2
Final Four played 4 seed instead of 1

Purdue also had some easier matchups
Sweet Sixteen played 5 seed instead of 4
Final Four played 11 seed instead of 1

I can definitely see it. I just think we are due with the nature of the tourney

I’m totally with you. My mantra every year is: ABK (anybody but Kentucky).

Teams can’t play on their home courts in the tourney. Makes sense.
But today Duke is playing in Raleigh which is only 25 miles from Durham.
Shouldn’t there be like a 100 miles or less rule?

The usher in the blue jacket in our section would outwardly cheer every time Creighton scored against Louisville yesterday. Another UK fan behind us was talking to someone and was torn about whether to root for Arkansas or Kansas. He didn't want Calipari to win a first round game "when he couldn't win one here" but he also didn't want Kansas to extend their all-time wins lead over UK. Those people are pathetic.

Baylor playing a lot better than when we spanked them earlier in the year. Mississippi State seems to be figuring it out even with Hubbard on the bench with 2 fouls.
Little run by Baylor to close the half and go up 5, 37-32.

I wouldn’t call Andy Enfield a bust. He was at USC for 11 years and made an Elite Eight. He took the SMU job last year because he must have felt it slipping. SMU won 20+ games this year. He’s never been fired.

That’s a good point. I had frankly forgotten about him being at SMU. Out of sight, out of mind I guess.

There should be some sort of bracket that acts a confidence meter. Because some games, I'm upset I didn't call a bookie.

Example, considering the closeness in seeding, there may not have been anything I was more sure about than Gonzaga over Georgia.

Man if Robert Morris was hitting their 3s they'd probably be leading.

Dickerson is having a big game...Woods has been off for them or they'd for sure be up.
