Well, i wish i posted this earlier, but March madness started yesterday with Monmouth advancing to play Nova. I know most people filled out a bracket, so how did yalls look?

As for me in the SEC, (And yes, i filled this out before it all started) I predict Kentucky loosing to UConn, LSU loosing to Syracuse, Bama going to the Sweet 16 before Loosing to Gonzaga, Tennessee goes to the Sweet 16 before Loosing to UNC, and Florida going to the Elite 8 before loosing to Villanova for a spot at the final 4.

Some of my big upsets:

Duke looses to Syracuse in Sweet 16
Bama beats Marquette and UCLA to get to the Elite 8, looses to Gonzaga.
Seton Hall beats Wichita State (which didn't happen, btw)
Utah State beats Washington.

Heres how my Final 4 looks:

Texas, Memphis, Uconn and Villinova. Memphis beats Texas, Nova beats Uconn. And finally, for the championship, Nova looses tough against Memphis. Final: Memphis 82, Villanova 80.

So far, I am 5-3 in my picks. I'll try to keep things updated as everything goes along.

So, how does everyone else's look?

Fox....

5-3 so far? Not toooo good! :wacko:

I'm 10-2 right now, but who knows how it will end up. I'm really happy for the start that our SEC teams have gotten off to, but I honestly don't think that it will go much beyond the next round. I have only two SEC teams reaching the Sweet 16, UT and FLA, and no one past that. :headshake I just don't see our conference going to the Elite 8 or better this year. There are a lot of very good teams, and I don't think we're there this year.

Upset specials for me:

ROUND 1
Wis. Milwaukee over OK - picked it before the game (Really) :whistle:
Bradley over Kansas
NC State over CAL
Southern ILL over WVU

ROUND 2
Southern ILL over Iowa

ROUND 3
Syracuse over Duke (although at the moment it looks like the Cuse may not make it out of the first round...doh!) :pop:

FINAL FOUR PICKS
Texas
Memphis
UConn
Nova

Texas beats Memphis
Nova beats Uconn

Nova beats TX 68-60 for the Championship

There you have it.
