My Lock-it 1st round big upset

[Biggin]

maybe northern iowa over purdue, i cant decide

[1inStripes]

VCU over UCLA
Its Christmas time at Temple. Temple over Az State.
WKU over Illinois
Portland St. over Xavier
Miss St over Washington (although that will be tough with them traveling to Portland for a Thursday game after playing 4 days in a row to win the SEC.)


And my #1, mark it down its bound to happen sooner or later so why not now.





ETSU over Pitt.

Pitt routinely chokes in the dance, and is banged up. Blair gets in early foul trouble from Tiggs drives to the hoop, and Tiggs takes over. 83-77. GO BUCS GO!!!!


*Yes I am thinking with my heart, not my head.

way to read

i posted mississippi state over washington
strictly by seeds
maryland over cal
usc over bc
utah state over marquette

MSU over Washington? That's a reach? The PAC-10 is in a down year,yet the Huskies couldn't even win the tourney while MSU is on a roll. The only 1 out of the 4 that you posted that would actually be a surprise would be Utah St over Marquette

[1inStripes]

Its a 13 vs. a 4, yes would be considered and upset, with UDub playing pretty close to home. It wouldn't surprise me if Utah State won to. Marquette should probably be an 8 or 9 seed since they lost James for the year. They just haven't been very good since then.

[whiteshoes]

Mine is either going to be Western Kentucky over Illinois or North Dakota State over Kansas......One of those WILL happen.

I'll go with North Dakota St. over Kansas also.

haha okay

although its in portland, and msu played today, washington has great guards, brockman can rebound, they won the pac-10, better than the sec, in the regular season, msu has no answer for justin dentmon, mississippi state would be at home if not for the most jumbled up mess of ten seconds to end a game today, etc.... its not a reach? wash is the def. favorite

and stripes i dunno, i think asu is pretty safe v temple
hardin can shut down christmas, asu is really effective in their d.

if marquette could play a full game, they could be in the elite 8, but theyre too inconsistent

and i dont see kansas losing to nd st, but hey, its a crapshoot at this point.

i think you may see a 2 seed fall in the secound round tho....the other msu is in danger

[Biggin]

wow, does anyone else find the big east to be tough to decide on?

shit, i think they could go four for four in the final four, i just dunno

right now ive got two in the final four, one winning.

ima stick wit that

Anybody else besides me (speaking of Big East) think Syracuse has a shot at a deep run as well? I wasn't sold on the Orange,but they really impressed me with their grit through the Big East tourney,and question #2 is of course Does the Big 10 hit a new low this tourney? A weak as water league (7 teams in WTF?) having a shoddy year even by Big 10 standards. Mich State is overrated,and I'm thinking that Purdue is the only one with a snowball's chance in hell of making an elite-8 type run (because of the defense of the Boilers).

[Biggin]

i had syracuse in my final four at one point, i just think unc can get thru the zone and get buckets and hit open shots.

its still close, they can play with anyone.

[Biggin]

msu is weak, but the more i think about it the more i think they will handle usc.

they can play d, and lucas is great.
