I missed on Vandy and Maryland. Both games looked to be toss-ups prior to the tournament. Vandy may have lost anyway, but the mistake at the end was a killer. I loved the fact that the Vandy player owned up right away to his mistake. That showed a lot of character.

I missed on most my upset picks. Saw Bucknell as that team no one gave a chance to but if WVU has one of those poor shooting days they might pull it off. Also missed on VCU Vermont and Nevada.

Did get the Xavier and MTSU picks though.

I did pretty well on the first day. Only missed my upset pick of ETSU and VCU. But I will prob get murdered on day 2, that's how it always works

Does Marquette or Oklahoma State count as a surprise?

I haven't seen the lines but the Marquette game must be a pickem or possibly even favor them I'd imagine. I picked OKST as well. That high that Michigan was on, after almost a week off, may be accompanied by a deep valley. Plus OKST is top 10 in offensive efficiency IIRC.

No, and especially not Wichita State who is favored by 6 as a 10 seed.

NCAA committee does their best looking at a sheet of paper. I'm glad they don't spend more time watching. Should help me earn some dough in my wife's company's upset pool.

Did pretty good yesterday. Got 6 higher seeds moving on today though so we’ll see. Shockers and SMU are the important ones for me today. My bracket basically relies on them and Iowa State making the Elite 8.

I’m all for huge upsets against Duke, Kentucky or UCLA as I have them going out way earlier than most everyone else anyways. A New Mexico State upset would've helped SMU a ton too Sunday.

He got tripped. I thought it was a fair call. Seton Hall played really dumb for most of the game. I'm 0/3 in the 8/9 games like I am every year.

You can't make that call in that situation though. I think that their feet got tangled up, but he wasn't tripped and Seton Hall definitely did not deserve a flagrant 1 when everyone in the building knew a foul was coming.

I've got SMU in the championship game, so my entire bracket depends on them.
