So who has lost a game in the NCAA tourney so far?
Cause let's face it - Manhatten WAS an upset. I lost them but got the other 2. Sucks cause I had Florida in the Sweet 16 :cry:

1. Maryland beat UTEP
Texas Tech won. St Joe's is winning big early in the game. Bama and Southern Illinois have a great game going late in the game.

3. Interesting
Sports Illustrated picked Manhattan to beat Florida. They have UCONN beating Gonzaga in the final.

7. Yeah, I hate Bobby Knight
But he is a good coach and I figured he would flog his team into the Sweet 16. St. Joe's is going to meet a real team and fall flat.

2. EVERY YEAR at least one #12 upsets a #5
I think a couple of years ago, there were THREE #12 teams that won in the first round. If you're going to pick an upset, you can never go wrong with a 12 over a 5.

I didn't do brackets this year, but I knew going in that this was a reasonable pick to make.

I still remember when my #12 Drexel Dragons and Malik Rose beat #5 Memphis back in 1996! :bounce:

A 5/12 upset every year? It must be the work of the BFEE!

4. I'm 1-3 so far
Edited on Thu Mar-18-04 04:01 PM by northzax
got Maryland, lost the Tech and Manhattan ones, I was so tempted by the Jaspers, but I figured there's been so much talk about an upset there this week that Florida would find a back bone and fight back. guess not.

GOOOO SALUKIS! and it doesn't look good for Syracuse, but I had them losing in round two anyway.

Thank god for John Gilchrist, or I'd really be slammed.

12. I had Charlotte winning two games

They were my "cinderella" team. Of course I filled out my brackets in about two minutes, I've only watched 4 games this year.

14. So far, I'm 2-2
Wins:
Manhattan
Maryland

Losses:
Charlotte
So. Ill.


The good thing is that our pool at work is using the seedings to determine points in the first round. I got 12 points for Manhattan.
