NCAA Tourny Brackets Discussion

[Tanko]

Texas A&M got screwed and should have been in over Rutgers. I was surprised they were the 4 team out.

Which 12 seed will upset 5 seed?
It happens a lot so what is your opinion.

IMO #12 Wyom/Ind play-in winner (likely Indiana) will beat #5 St Marys.

 

[Tanko]

What is your biggest upset pick?

My thoughts. In order of S/U upset:
#13 Chatt over #4 Illinois
#12 Indiana/Wyom winner over St Marys
#11 Virg Tech over #6 Texas
#11 ISU over #6 LSU
#10 Loy-Chi over Ohio St.
#10 Miami over USC

Haven't watched. Sweating this race

Couple of games I look forward to seeing the lines:

#13 Vermont vs #4 Arkansas. This will likely be a 11-13 pt spread. Take the points. Even better look at 1H points on Vermont. Vermont is almost playing at home and Arkansas struggled against Colgate in 1H in 2021.

#8 Boise St. vs #9 Memphis. This might come out as a PK or Boise -1. IMO Boise ML is the right choice. They are also close to home playing in Portland.

#10 Miami vs #7 USC. PAC-12 is weak (except Az). Take Miami and the points. Hell, the books may make Miami the Fav.

The #12 play-in winner Wyom/Indiana vs St. Marys. I'm predicting the #12 seed will be a Fav or damn close vs St. Marys when the line comes out.

#11 Virg Tech could easily beat #6 Texas. Let's see the line to see if its EV+

#10 Loy-Chi vs Ohio St. Take the points with Sister Jean over the Buckeyes.

#13 Chatt vs #4 Illinois. Chatt could win outright the points may be a better option.


What are your thoughts? Am I full of it?
What are your picks?

 

[Enikk]

My money would be on Texas. Duke was over-rated.
Loyola Chicago and Sister Jean are due to be destroyed. Books know they will be bet heavy.
I would take the play in winner over St Mary

or just fade me. I am terrible in bracket tournament

Didn’t even realize Pittsburgh is hosting this year. Doubt there will be many fans there…

Was thinking the same about V-Tech, like the Boise and Miami play but gotta disagree with Chatt. Think it's a great matchup for Illinois, especially for Cockburn. Actually thinking of jumping on that - 7.5.


That Vermont play looks interesting but I hardly followed them at all this season. Also what you guys think of the St. Peters Kentucky spread (17.5). The Peacocks have been good to me this season

Just finally got around to looking at bracket. 1st time ever didn't watch it live. Holy shit they did a great job. Can't remember it being that good/hard. 2nd round potential match-ups are insane. Now bummed had to cancel Vegas March trip this year.
