March Madness

[mrmarket]

Pathetic that Craig Littlepage, who was fired by Penn, decided to serve them with a #15 seed and a game vs. the University of Texas in DALLAS!

Sounds really fair.

Go Quakers!

Damn, Ernie, I thought this was a pool invitation....

Littlepage has it in for you guys, eh? What were you hoping for with a 98 RPI? First round in Philly against Air Force? I'd have put y'all in the play-in game.

My picks for most entertaining games in Round #1:

Pitt v Kent St (Blazers have a good big man and capable guards)
Arizona v Wisconsin (contrast of styles)
Oklahoma v Wis.-Milwaukee (one of the better mid-majors v a struggling major)
G'town v No. Iowa


My picks for most entertaining games in Round #2:

West Va. v Iowa
Pitt v Kansas
Washington v Illinois
Mich St v UNC (two great coaches and each a recent NCAA champ)
Nevada v Boston College

MM, are you betting this time around?

Telling me to not bet on the NCAA's would be like telling a heroin addict. "Hey the bag and the spoon are on the table, I'll be back in 3 hours, please don't touch anything!"

Being from Cincinnati, I have to say Cincinnati got hosed big time.....Also, since I went to Xavier, I say go Muskies.......I think X can beat Gonzaga thanks to their home court advantage playing in Dayton......How do you like that Mr M, Xavier getting to play round one in Dayton?

And one other thing, FWIW, I am picking UCLA to cut down the nets.

Let's all pick an upset and see who gets it right. I'll start it out with Kent St. over Pitt. Next upset please post.

I definitely like NC State over Cal and maybe even over Penn in the second round!

[mrmarket]

Seton Hall over Wichita St

[Jim Smith]

Wisconsin-Milwaukee over Oklahoma is my upset

[ninner]

my big upset is Winthrop over Tennessee.....Tennessee did not deserve a 2 seed.....also i like how south Alabama plays and i think they can take out Florida in another upset so the Gators better not take them lightly.

Bought a couple of parlay tickets tonight here in Vegas. Any of these tickets that wins pays 7:1.

NCAA (Thurs. games):
#1: Boston College -7.5 (v Pacific), Nevada -7 (v Montana), UCLA -20 (v Belmont)
#2: Wisc.-Mil. +2.5 (v Okla.), Gonzaga -5.5 (v Xavier), Illinois -8.5 (v Air Force)

NIT:
#3: @Miami (Fla.) -4.5 (v Ok. St.), @So. Car. -7.5 (v W. Ky.), @Temple -6 (v Akron)

When it comes to March madness, when in doubt, take the underdog.....If I bet $100 across the board on the dog throughout, I am confident I'd make money.....It's the same for college bowl season.

I'm just happy my Ags made it in
