Word of advice: Never make picks when you have a 101 degree temp. "AIR FORCE??? AIR FORCE!?!?! What the hell was I thinkin!" My reaction when I found out my locked in picks.

fazzle 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2004 Well, I first made my picks with a final four of Duke, Stanford, Gonzaga, and Pitt, with Duke over Pitt in the finals. Then I decided that seemed too "safe" and made another bracket with Stanford over Georgia Tech in the finals, and Xavier in the final 4. Georgia Tech? What the fuck am I thinking?! Oh well, it paid off taking a risk on Syracuse last year, maybe I can luck out again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2004 It's interesting that no one seems to give UK any shot of winning it all, despite being the overall 1 seed. I have: UK, OK St., Duke, UConn With UK over Duke in the final (an admitted dream final). I'm also a bit mystified by the Xavier support. They got on a good run in the A 10 tourney but it seems like mediocre teams who get hot for a week tend to flame out in the tourney itself. I have U of L over them, although I'm a bit biased since I went to U of L. Though I don't have it on my bracket I think the winner there has a real shot at beating Miss St. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2004 These are my updated revisions that I just made (probably a bad time to make the) to my bracket. I'll probably change them again once more in the next 8 hours, but not majorly. St. Louis Cinderella Team: Utah (11) in the Sweet 16 by beating Boston College and Georgia Tech. Close Games: Kentucky vs Kansas, Gonzaga vs Michigan St., Kansas vs Gonzaga. Sweet 16: Kansas def Kentucky, Gonzaga def Utah Final 4 Representative: Kansas (4) with relative home floor advantage. East Rutherford Cinderella: Wisconsin (6) to the Sweet 16 by beating Pittsburgh in the 2nd Round. Home floor advantage for the Badgers gives them an edge. Close Games: Wisconsin vs Pittsburgh, Wake Forest vs St. Joseph's Sweet 16: Wake Forest def St. Joseph's, Oklahoma St. def Wisconsin Final 4 Representative: Oklahoma St. (2) beats a Wake Forest team spent after beating St. Joseph's. Atlanta Cinderella: Murray St. (12) to the Sweet 16 by beating Illinois and Cincinnati. The game vs Cincinnati would be in Columbus, and the crowd might be pro Murray St. (for being a Cinderella and for facing the Bearcats) Close Games: Duke vs Arizona,Xavier vs Miss. St., Duke vs Miss St. Sweet 16: Mississippi St. def North Carolina, Duke def Murray St. Final 4 Representative: Mississippi St. (2) with the "upset". Phoenix Cinderella: Western Michigan(11) to the Sweet 16 by beating Vanderbilt and NC State. Close Games: Maryland vs Syracuse, Maryland vs Stanford, Dayton vs Depaul Sweet 16: Maryland def Stanford, UConn def Western Michigan Final 4 Representative: UConn (2) will be too strong for Maryland. Final 4 UConn (2) def Mississippi St. (2) Kansas (4) def Oklahoma St. (2) Championship Game UConn (2) def Kansas (4) Im not shocked I have 3 #2 seeds, and no #1 seeds in the Final 4.
