Title: Selection Sunday picks
Post by: crustpope on March 11, 2011, 02:31:37 PM
Ok, Anyone think that the big east is NOT going to have the most teams in the bracket?

Personally I dont like when teams below 500 in their conference get into the tournament but it is what it is. 

Who do you think has a chance to win it all?

The Big East is going to get 10 or 11 (depending on Villanova) because that's who the best teams are. It's not the conference's fault that they lose a lot in conference because the conference is so good.

I've heard that if my Terps can beat Duke tonight they have a shot at an at-large.

It would be much better if they could go the distance and get the ACC's auto-qualifier.

Joe Luinardi (ESPN's Picks guy) Has 11 from the Big East in currently, And he's only missed 3 teams over the past 3 years, so yeah.

Woo-hoo Big East! Woo-hoo UConn!

Now if we could only get that many teams into football Bowl games, perhaps even with a token win every now and then.  ;)

I usually root for UCLA, but with they way they played last night, I think they're going home early. Long Beach St. made the bracket this year, but it looks like anyone we play will easily outmatch us. I can hope, though. [Stupid Santa Barbara.] San Diego St. had a really good showing this year, and might be able to knock out their bracket if they keep it up. Here's hoping one of them can win a few games :)

In reality, I think the usual suspects will be looking at least to the fourth round. I don't see much potential for upsets from the lower ranked teams this year. I'd be shocked if fewer than two #1 seeds make it to the final four.
