Free March Madness Bracket

Unread post by spookydog »

I started a Yahoo March Madness group for Rhody fans (like I have the previous years). It had over 600 people last year. Hope to get as many of you guys in it as possible. Its free & just for fun/bragging rights.

This year's tourney looks impossible to predict.

Whoever gets hot. No standout teams.

I mean, it's always tough, but I see upsets galore in the early rounds.

I wouldn't be surprised, if only one or two 1 and 2 seeds combined, makes the FF......

I'm in! I love doing brackets it makes the games even more exciting especially if you pick an upset..

Your right Rambone it's completely up in the air this year. It will be interesting to see if the Big East has more than one team make the second week.. All this talk that they are a top 3 conference, but that means nothing unless you do damage in the tournament.

Big East teams are SO OVERRATED, it drives me crazy. Villanova, regarded as the #1 team in the country for awhile, their best win (other than wins vs. teams in their conference) is vs. St Joes. Xavier, the other top Big East team, their best win (other than wins vs. teams in their conference) comes against Dayton.

Bracket tip: If you want to pick an upset, pick a Big East team to go down.

I loved how ESPN was talking up the A10 as the best non power 5 basketball conference during the URI game the other day. I also loved Rothstein's tweet saying that the A10 is possibly an EC Matthews victory away from having more teams than the new Big East and the American in the dance this year. We need to keep it up.

You think they can beat Kansas?

Of course, nobody thought we would beat Kansas in the 2nd round 18 years ago.....

No, sorry, they don't have that outstanding PG they need to win it this year.

Ask her to ask him to send some recruit's Hurley's way lol

Now for me, the hardest part of this bracket is Kansas vs. UConn in the 2nd round. Kansas is tough, but this feels like one of those "Connecticut is some how pulling sh1t out of their ass seasons" on the way to a final four. I picked Kansas, but I can easily see UConn making a run.

Go back and change it if there's still time ;)
UConn not just to the Final 4, but...plus two more wins. :o :o

208, if UConn can get by Kansas, then they could go a long way....

Just like we did in 1998......

I doubt it, in spite of them winning the AAC tourney. Who did they beat, a couple of borderline tourney teams? And the first one was on an all time prayer. And they also caught a break with SMU unable to play.

Kansas isn't Cincy, or Temple. Memphis sucks. Big step up, and they're playing well.

Oh, there will be surprises, there always are.....maybe even more so this time.

That one would be a big one......

Some are predicting a PC win over NC.....another unlikely, but possible result.

Although I'm not sure PC wins their 1st game. If not, Cooley will hear it from the Friar faithful.....

1051 people in the league. Very impressive.

Almost as impressive as my 5 year old son getting 15 of 16 games right yesterday.
Although I don't see this lasting as he has a St. Joe's v Michigan final game.
