NCAA TOURNAMENT UPSET PICKS?
Well, I always try to pick the NCAA basketball tournament and see how I can do in picking upsets. Usually though I get slaughtered like everyone else. Here are the upsets I picked in the first round games, some of which are done and some of which go on as we speak, or will go on tonight:
I picked 9 seed Missouri to beat Colorado State. WRONG (ugh!) Colorado State won.
I picked 11 seed St. Mary's to upset Memphis. WRONG again.
I picked 14 seed Harvard to upset 3 seed New Mexico. RIGHT! (how about that!)
I pick 9 seed Villanova to upset 8 seed North Carolina. Still to be played (I think Villanova's experience will help them).
I pick 11 seed Minnesota to upset 6 seed UCLA. Still to be played (Minnesota has struggled down the stretch, but I think a new, fresh start in the tourney will help them).
I picked 11 seed Bucknell to beat 6 seed Butler. WRONG!
Otherwise, in all other games, I'm picking the higher seeded team to win.
My Final Four is: Michigan State, Ohio State, Miami, and Georgetown.
Overall right now I'm only 11-7; I failed to pick winners Oregon, Wichita State, Ole Miss, and Cal, in addition to what I missed above. So don't count on my final four picks being too accurate! :+) Maybe in games later today I'll improve. Hope springs eternal...
I am similarly suffering! I had New Mexico in the FINALS! Oh, we'll! I like Indiana and will admit I'm glad ND and Georgetown
