any upsets from you guys? I have Miss St. beating Washington, FSU beating Pitt, Temple beating OU. I don't see any team being Cinderella this year, as I don't know most of them, and or they suck.

I think Arizona State could go far in the tourney. Harden is the type of player that could carry a team. Don't know if a 6 is a Cinderella but I think they could make it to the elite 8, maybe even the final 4.

Either I'm going to be a god or have a terrible bracket. My Final Four is Missouri, Utah, Pitt, and Gonzaga with Gonzaga edging out Utah.

I'd place a huge bet on terrible. Taking chances can be good, but not when you have that many. If you took one of Missouri/Utah/Gongaza your brackett could turn out pretty good, but I definitely wouldn't take on the risk of all three (especially not Utah).

I'm liking Temple to upset them round one. Neither of them will beat Syracuse so it's a nice low risk upset.

I have all of those except for temple (because the Sun Devils are gonna cruise through christmas and the owls).

I disagree. I think Syracuse is primed for a letdown after that tourney run. Fatigue will eventually catch up with them.

Please, with a week of rest I'm sure they'll be plenty rested up..

Yeah. A lot of people are gonna lose a lot of money/bragging rights over Syracuse. They're really overrated because of the tournament run.

Fatigue is not the only thing that will catch up to them. A general lack of talent will as well.

I can see the lack of talent maybe, but fatigue will play no part in this tourny.

im really excited to see what eric maynor and VCU will do against ucla.i think they coukd make a very solid run.
West Va is also a team that could get hot and make it to an elite 8. with their shooters they have to be considered a solid threat.

[adschofield]

VCU over UCLA and Cleveland State over Wake are my upsets...Cleveland State is going to shut Wake down, IMO

free throws will probably kill them in any close game

[BRAVEHEART]

UCLA is going to shutdown VCU, ClevSt and Wake I'm not so sure of.

Yeah....I don't really think so either, but it kind of added to the effect of my post. lol. I'm just not a fan Syracuse's team (aside from Flynn).

I can't really comment objectively on this. From my POV, Syracuse is the best ******* FT shooting team in the planet. When you lose to a team in 6 OTs (5 of which they were never in the lead) and you look at the box score FT % from each team......ugh let's not go there.

If by "them", you mean, UConn....then yes by all means.

Speaking of which....how the **** did Austrie go from 90% a year ago to like 75% this year?
