    According to over 64,000 voters on ESPN the Pepto Bismal coaches are lined up in order of likeliness of being upset:

    MCG, I edited your link to make it shorter where the readers do not have to scroll to read the other posts. Hope you don't mind. Tennessee Tom

    Nova will be the first, and possibly only, #1 seed to go down.

    Please, JIF, give more thought to your words before choosing them. I got a bad visual on that one! :lol:

    Tennessee will be a pretty easy pick for going out in the first round due to their play in the final two weeks and the SEC tourney. I hope the rest did them good.

    MCG,

    I don't think the Gators get past Ohio State. I have Nova going down in the second round.

    By the way, I've been meaning to ask - since your boy is into music and you live in Michigan, is he familiar with the Volebeats/Outrageous Cherry?

    Rick ..how do you see the Cat's this year, seems like they have had some problems on and off the court. I have them 1 and done.

    FWIW: Nic Wise the kid from Houston who you guys got a verbal from as a high school freshman has had a great career. He has attended 3 different high schools though. He spent his jr and sr years at one school and they won a State Championship his Jr year and he was the MVP, and lost the final in a very close game. I don't know if he'll be a great college player but he's been a great high school player.

    WOW!

    <t>It's early, but Wichita St is really spanking Seaton Hall (20 to 8 ). I figured that one would be a little closer...</t>

    Cats are inconsistent, Terry. Plenty of athleticism, yet can be lacking in teamwork. If the good Cats team shows up tomorrow, they beat Wiscy. If the collection of individual players shows up, and the scoring is in the 60's, the more efficient Badger team wins.

    I'm hoping Arizona plays team defense tomorrow and uses turnovers and depth to beat Wisconsin.

    8) The Cats came up big against Wisconsin...

    San Diego St. blew a 10 point lead down the stretch and tossed away its upset chance with Indiana. The Aztecs had a better team and a better coach. How silly of me to discount their stupidity in my pregame analysis. I couldn't believe the idiots using no time off the clock and throwing up prayers in the final two minutes with a five point lead. They deserved to lose...

    Whew...the Longhorns sneak past the Quakers of Penn. But the Jayhawks get taken down by Bradley!

    Kentucky also just barely scraped by against UAB.

    Who woulda thunk it?! The XII's remaining reps are from Texas!

    Guess we know how to play more than just football! 8)

    It could be said A&M hasn't done that in a while!

    By the way... if the Aggies get past LSU, I won't be around for a bit.
    I'll be getting treatment for my epileptic seizure...

    :twisted:

    Damn this is fun!!!

    Damn! When I review my own picks listed in bold in this poll topic I realize that I would be winning my office pool if I only had faith in my intuitions.

    In this poll I picked Bradley to upset Kansas and NW State to beat Iowa.

    If only I listened to myself.....Doh!

    OK, let's try this again. I'll redeem myself with my next pick. I've seen UCLA and Gonzaga almost as much as I've seen Notre Dame this year and I think the Bruins will beat them. Gonzaga is definitely older, the Bruins have 5 frosh, 8 sophs and often have 4 freshman on the floor at the same time, but they also may have the best defense in the country. I see them shutting down Gonzaga's offense, rattling Morrison and wearing them down at the end...

    You had to figure that Howland would remake this UCLA team into a tough defensive team like his Pittsburgh teams.

    Well all the top four seated team made it to the sweet 16. Nova and Conn had tough games in Philly.

    I see no dominant team out there this year. Texas' blowout of NC State today was rare in this tourney. One bad night and you're done. In fact, I thought UCLA dodged a bullet with Alabama. The Bruins missed half their free throws and missed six in-a-row down the stretch. They were fortunate to have Afflalo catch fire at the end or they would have been done too.
