Who do you like as a sleeper? Upsets? Overrated?

Dive in and share your opinion. Take the hazing with good humor and you'll be fine. Nobody of any consequence legitimately puts much stock into post count and registration date.

If I am Marquette I am really hoping Iona loses to BYU because Iona can flat out score. Marquette should pull it out but they would have an easier time with BYU.

And you heard it here IF K-state gets by Southern Miss, they beat the Orange. I am not a K-state fan but Syracuse goes on huge scoring droughts while K-state has actually been putting up some points. I agree also with some previous posts that Long Beach St is the proverbial 12 over 5 upset this year.

My first post!

I'd cream my shorts. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Though I'll probably pick it in the bracket just for homer reasons. What the hell, my "fantasy" brackets usually do better than my for real brackets any way.

I have UK, Mich. St., Wisconsin and KU making the FF. Mich St. winning over Wisc. in the final.

By the time I am done filling out so many brackets I lose track of which ones are "fantasy" and which ones are real

And for the record I am a Kansas fan and I am scared to death of Saint Mary's. I will be picking Saint Mary's against Purdue but I sure won't be rooting for that result.

Believing in Wisconsin this year? They've burned me too many times before for me to pick them to go too far.

I think the only real reach I have for their matchups is picking them over 'Cuse, but it's not a huge reach. I mean, eventually, Wisconsin has to do SOMETHING, right?

You said UK over Uconn but had Uconn in the sweet sixteen.

Wichita State // GO SHOCKERS .....

Nate Silver is back to being right about sports:

Quote:

The worst decision that the tournament committee made? Probably seeding Memphis, whom power ratings have as about the 10th best team in the country, as a No. 8 seed instead. This is one reason that the program likes Missouri rather than Michigan State to emerge out of the West region; Michigan State would be due to draw Memphis in the Round of 32.
