NCAA Basketball Tournament Pick'Em

[The Prophet]

Finally, something I know something about in the Lounge. This year's NCAA Men's Tournament is gonna rule. I am not just saying that because Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Iowa are in. I seriously think that no one will be able to stop North Carolina. The only team I see them losing to is Kansas. Iowa State will be Minnesota in the first round. We all know that the state of Iowa just rules this year. Good luck to Cincy against the Hawks, you boys are gonna need it. Lets not forget that Northern Iowa lost to Cincy by 6 on the road when the season began. I got all the Iowa teams winning in the first round. My final four is Arizona against Wake Forest and North Carolina vs. Utah. Yeah, Utah is gonna own everyone.

[The Captain]

Utah's center should be the first pick of the NBA draft.

Take care all.

[RSL]

Holy crap, someone else from Iowa? This is crazy.

[Kirobaito]

Andrew Bogut may be good, but he's played against Mountain West competition for most of this year - before I start hyping him as the next coming of Larry Bird, I'd like to see him do well in the tournament.

[The Prophet]

Whats everyones huge upset for the tournament. I have St. Mary's in the Sweet Sixteen, Old Dominion over Mich St. A few more like that. Anyone else think Oklahoma St should have gotten the fourth number 1 seed. Washington is good, but they really don't have an inside game to speak of. They go down against Louisville. Mark it down.

[Kirobaito]

I'm quite surprised that Oklahoma State/Wake Forest did not get that final #1 seed - I would have put them both above Washington.

And I also have Washington losing in the region, I won't say to who, though.

[Strider]

Actually, Wake Forest was just the first thing I thought of, Cap'n.

I haven't completely looked over the bracket, but I'm not gonna fill it out just yet. I'd like to be completely alert before I make decisions like that.

[Denmark]

eest: Cincy better win in the first round. :o

[eestlinc]

seriously. They have underachieved all year, but maybe they will play up to their potential.

[Masamune·1600]

Ah, nothing like March Madness. Well, I've got a couple 5-12 upsets and a 4-13 upset in the first round, but I still have three one seeds penciled in for St. Louis. I may have to work on that.

I don't think OK State had finished up the Big 12 title game when the committee made the decision, explaining why Washington received the one seed. I have Wasington and OK State going out in the Sweet 16, though.

Who do you think will be the national player of the year? The conventional wisdom seems to suggest it's down to Bogut and J.J. Redick. Wayne Simien and Chris Paul both have an outside chance as well.

[Kirobaito]

Icck....I'm going insane making my final choices. This is one of the most nerve-racking things ever.

[The Prophet]

Yeah, Iowa got owned today. I will admit that. The real story so far is Alabama gettin beat and I picked Wisconsin-Milwaukee to win . So I own!

[Kirobaito]

I'm 7/8 so far.

[eestlinc]

I'm 5/8 but Cincy won so that's what matters.

[Kirobaito]

If these leads hold out, I'll be 15/16 on day one, which I will most definitely take.

EDIT:

[Dick_Vitale] 15 OF 16, BABY!
