Let the Madness begin

[Champ]

Today is the first day for NCAA Tourney games, there will be many questions answered today such as will Liberty upset St. Joe's? Can Air Force beat UNC in Denver? Will the defending champs have an early exit vs BYU? I'm just excited, March Madness is something I look foward too every year. 64 teams and only 1 can be crowned champions.

1. Predictions

First round upsets: Pacific over Providence. Manhattan over Florida. Lousiville over Xavier.

Final Four: Duke, UConn, Kentucky, Pittsburgh.

Winner: UConn

2. Dook is going down.

Especially if Duhon's in too much pain to be effective!

4. Whaaaa?

I don't see Duke falling until they meet UConn in the final four. Who can take them out earlier? Maybe a long shot chance by Seton Hall and Mississippi will be tough, but Duke will prevail.

As for the beloved Tarheels, I think they fall to Texas in the second round.

3. Mine is (laugh all you want)

Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State, Uconn, and North Carolina with the winner being Georgia Tech. But I also have 4 other scenarios because I have 5 entries for this Tournament Challenge thing on ESPN.

7. GT

I really like Georgia Tech this year, but they'll (likely) have to get by Gonzaga and Kentucky to make it to the final four. That's a tall order.

9. Yeah it is but I believe they can do it

I am in no way saying they are the best team but it was basically a guess. GT can pretty much hang with any team in America and might be able to pull off a 6 game winning streak. But I also have 4 other winners incase GT doesn't help.

5. Look out for the dark horse, Mississippi State. The Bulldogs

have been ranked in the top ten most of the year, didn't lose on the road in the SEC,and have the SEC player of the year in Lawrence Roberts. However, Roberts hurt his ankle against Vanderbilt, so his health will tell the story.

8. Miss

I have Mississippi state doing quite well; losing to Duke in the fourth round.

6. I'm going to suck this tournament because my heart is for St. Joes

And we know how well tournament picks can be when we bet with our heart and not our heads.

:crazy:

If there was any other sleeper team getting a #1 seed I'd have them out before the sweet 16, but it had to be a Philly team. God help me!!!
