Call your first round upsets....

Postby sadderbudweiser » Mon Mar 14, 2016 8:13 am

It's a minefield out there.

I'd love to see Baylor go down to Yale but I don't think it happens.

Chattanooga over Indiana

.....and as much as I'd love to see horns-ags in OKC: i think the horns go down first.

Baylor and Iowa State seem to be the two most popular picks to be upset in the first round

I don't consider 8-9 match ups as potential upsets. Those are (for the most part) toss ups.


And yeah…let's just get through the first round games.

There are enough to keep us busy!

And also I said CALL THEM….

that eliminates words like could, might, "rooting for, seem to be," etc….


CALL EM!!

Doesn't the committee consider the first four to be the first round, even though most others don't?

It seems they changed their minds after futile attempts to convince the general public of that.

This year the "play-in" games are being called the FIRST FOUR and the "first round" is back to being the FIRST ROUND.


Leave it to the NCAA to be
1) Prompt
2) Perfectly Clear
