KSU over Syracuse
Baylor over aTm
WV over UK
KU over Oh State

KU Over Baylor ( yes Baylor is inconsistent ) But they have the inside / outside combo to go far.

Upsets :
East ,Cornell over Temple, Cornell over Wisc. ,almost went with Cornell over UK,WV over UK.
South ,St Mary's over Richmond,Louisville over Ca. ( 8-9 , not really an upset )
West , Xavier over Mn,Murray State over Vandy, ( Murray St is good , very fast ) UTEP over Butler
Midwest , ( 8-9 ) No Iowa over UNLV.

I think some of you forget that Scott Drew is Baylor's coach. Talent only takes you so far.

I know, but I have that feeling about them.

I'm having a hard time picking where I think the 1 seeds will lose. I never do the all 1 seeds bracket but I did a couple of them this year. Most with KU winning. I don't trust Duke but I don't like their bracket. I think a young Kentucky team would be vulnerable but I don't like their bracket either. A Syracuse-Gonzaga game actually scares me more than the others.

I do have Washington going far in a few of my brackets... and I think the Pac 10 is horrible. But they do have talent.... and their half of the bracket has Huggins and Alford. We'll see if history breaks, those guys have not done well at all with high seeds. Same with Clemson, but somebody has to reach the elite 8. This Huggins team actually seems to have some clutch ability.

It's tough because a lot of the 2-4 seeds have major issues in my mind. Way more than normal, I think because a lot of them have not had a ton of tourney success. Would you be surprised if someone like Baylor or K-State got knocked upside the head in the wrong tourney matchup? You can see them going to the Final Four or getting caught up in the pressure and losing the 2nd round. I'm interested in seeing what Gonzaga does, they always seem to do better as a lower seed.

This is the first year I've done a bracket and know nothing about NCAA basketball outside of the Big 12.

Yep... I usually put one together that I feel good about and then fill out a few others that are fairly similar, but I could barely get through one this year.

The South sucks... I had a hard time with Baylor and Villanova because I don't trust either of them. I put Duke in the FF because I didn't want to put 3 BE teams in the Final Four, but I don't think Baylor or A&M could get that far, either.

I also think Kentucky is vulnerable, but I don't see them losing before the EE, so I have them losing to WVU. Then putting WVU into the championship game just feels weird.

I have Syracuse/KU on the other side, and KU winning it all.

KC_Connection · 03-17-2010, 08:04 PM

Still have KU, Syracuse, WV, Duke.

I pretty much went with the odds-on favorites.

That's part of it, there are so many new teams that haven't been there before. And usually when it comes to the Final Four, the high seeds get there, but usually only a couple No. 1's. Which leaves you with teams like New Mexico or Baylor to choose from. Or teams with talent but serious question marks that limped to the finish (Nova, Purdue).
