March Madness

[B.J]

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!

Life could be worse. You could be a Cincinnati Bearcat fan... Like me. But, hey, if you want to rip Littlepage a new one, fine with me Looks like there is a long line.

But, good luck to your guys, nevertheless.

[B.J]

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?

Jim, I'm no Muskie fan, but congratulations on that comeback vs. St. Joe's. Must have been a wild Saturday night for the Xavier contingent.

First Round Upsets....

Utah St over Washington

Wisc-Milwaukee over a struggling Oklahoma

San Diego St over Indiana

Upset special...if the refs let them play and keep the whistles in the pockets...Texas A&M over Syracuse.

[BoSox Jon]

Utah St over Washington

Washington is just too good to get knocked out by Utah St. In fact, I don't see any 5-12 upsets happening. It's going to be the year of the 6-11 upset. SD St., UW-Milwaukee, and S. Illinois.

[billyjoe]

We've got our first upset UW/Mil over Oklahoma. Picked correctly by Jim Smith , rrezac, and BoSox Jon.

BC struggled against PAC only to win in 2ot. Not to say BC was worried, but with HDTV you can see a trail of runny sh#* from BC's bench to the locker room.

Two more upsets no one predicted : #10 Alabama over #7 Marquette and
#12 Montana over #5 Nevada

Rrezac is hot . He predicted Texas A M over Syracuse.

[rrezac]

Billyjoe....not hot....I think the term is ***HUGE***

[rrezac]

NC-Wilmington and San Diego St both pissed away their games. Needed to play some interior defense, control the ball with a deliberate offense, and make some free throws. Should have both moved on to the second round.

[scifos]

Who had Texas A&M beating Syracuse??

[billyjoe]

After the first round we have 9 upsets, the biggest being :

#14 Northwestern State over #3 Iowa
#13 Bradley over #4 Kansas
#12 Texas A&M over #5 Syracuse
#12 Montana over #5 Nevada

others
#11 UW Milwaukee over #6 Oklahoma
#11 George Mason over #6 Mich. State
#10 NC State over #7 California
#10 Alabama over #7 Marquette
# 9 Bucknell over #8 Arkansas

All the upset winners will have to pull another upset to win the next round as they all are facing favored opponents. Will any of the 9 be able to pull it off?
How about Bucknell with only 4 losses in the regular season vs. mighty Memphis?
