^Oddsmakers are calling for "to-form" brackets for some reason. I think they're gonna lost a lot of money.

What are the 5/12 upsets this year?

i don't think there will be a 5/12 this year, but if i had to predict one, i'd go with temple over mich state. i think the 5s are safe this year though.

drake is only 2 1/2 or 3 point favorites against western kentucky

every other 5 seed is at least 6 point favorites

st. joes (11 seed) is 1 1/2 favorites over oklahoma

clemson will run all over nova...True they are a poor freethrow shooting team....they possibly would have beaten North Carolina 3 times this year if they could hit free throws....two were home games for NC...they can play with any team in the country easily....if they make their freethrows and have a decent 3 point shooting night, they beat anyone in the nation.

ok so my brother talked me into doing a bracket. And since him and my other brother are unc fans... I figured the only way I could win was to pick Kansas to beat unc in the final 4.

Also have UCLA and Texas in the final 4. Yea. Talk your shit now.

i dont understand the abundance of people either not doing a bracket, or having to be coerced to do one

3/19/2008 8:30:01 PM

^^^ the one thing that makes me mad when I watch Clemson play (besides abysmal free throw shooting) is that they sometimes stop going inside to their post players and start jacking up jump shots. they have one of the better front lines in college basketball with Mays, Booker, and Sykes.

my bracket is not intentionally anti-earl, but I like that it works out that way

3/19/2008 8:46:39 PM

i mean....Clemson in the Final 4

REAlly?

3/19/2008 8:54:42 PM

I think they have a pretty good chance. That said, I want to win a million dollars, I'm not going to get it picking the same teams as everyone else

3/19/2008 8:56:41 PM

If UNLV beats Kansas I will eat my own dick.

3/19/2008 8:57:52 PM

picking completely wrongly does not = getting $1MM

3/19/2008 9:03:13 PM

"why did you put a team worse than clemson (Pittsburgh) in your final 4 then"

or

"my bracket is better than yours nanna nanna boo"

etc

3/19/2008 9:13:41 PM

ya the big east champs are worse than clemson

3/19/2008 9:16:29 PM

Yes, and the SEC champs are too. Your point?

3/19/2008 9:17:40 PM

my final four is

UNC
Kansas
Texas
UCLA

I have Kansas beating UCLA in the finals

wow i sure went out on a lot of limbs!!1

btw side note regarding pitt...i personally have them losing to michigan state (but MSU losing to Memphis)...i was impressed with pitt when they gave duke their only loss then i was like "duke has lots of problems...state shouldve beaten them at least once"

3/20/2008 11:52:51 AM

i have pitt losing to mich st. as well...i wanted to take stanford out of that region but i really think this is the year memphis gets out of the elite 8

3/20/2008 12:18:27 PM

Well it looks like kent state might be my first wrong pick

31-10 down at the half

3/20/2008 2:51:36 PM

70% of our brackets beat their lipper average

3/20/2008 8:39:05 PM

so far i'm in first placein my league. even though i've lost some games.

3/21/2008 8:40:37 AM
