mikeintopeka I'm still reviewing my options to get the highest points without getting BUMPED from this contest before posting my first round pick. (see what I did there rsvman? )
ode Right now I'm going homer with Wisconsin.....But I reserve the right to edit this prior to the deadline.
Hoss7504 ode If Wisconsin can shake off that beating they took at the hands of scUM, they'll be ok. I'm planning on going with my boys (Michigan State) but my confidence level with them is about 50%. Such a young team. Even if they lose, can't be worse than that abomination on the court last year 😢
ode Hoss7504 I wouldn't quite refer to it as a beating although they did pull away at the end, but after the press was on and I think they had 3 or 4 layups to get the score up there, otherwise it was under 10 most all of the 2nd half. Wisconsin goes through stretches where they can't score, it's tough to watch.
Hoss7504 ode I suppose you are correct about the game. If your guys get it together, they can make a run. I'll be happy if my guys win the 1 game.
ode Hoss7504 I'm right there with you....1/2 perplexed by the seed, but the committee clearly did not like our resume when they came out with the top 4 seeds and we were nowhere to be found when nationally ranked #7....I suspect UM would have been where Uw was if they lost the title game and vice versa.
rsvman Just a reminder....If you want to be in, post your pick in this thread prior to noon EST tomorrow.
mikeintopeka I too am going with WICHITA STATE in the first round. (Sorry azgreg-I did my research early this a.m. but couldn't get off the phone to post and you entered 30 minutes ago to beat me to the punch).
Hoss7504 Michigan State in the 1st round for me as well. And the game is on St. Paddy's Day?! Sparty on, my friends!
ptjn1201 With so much love for Wichita State, I'll try to gain a couple of points by going with Princeton (12) in the first round
MidwayJ It's probably a good idea to stay relatively conservative, but I will take Rhode Island (11). Never done one of these before. Should be fun.
rsvman This is very conservative, but my pick is Notre Dame. As of now, about an hour and a half left for picks if anybody else wants to play. Right now I have 8 people in. azgreg, spartan, mikeintopeka, hoss7504, ptjn, midwayj, sggolf, and myself.
