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

I like "play-in" better than first four. I haven't looked at a bracket this year, so i will take your word for it. But to me, the first round always started thursday.

I'm picking Providence. Watched them a few times and they're very good. I could see them making a deep run if they get hot.

Wichita St over Zona
Temple over Iowa
N Iowa over the Whorns
VCU over Oregon St
Pitt over Wisconsin
Butler over Texas Tech

Those first three would be legit upsets.

I consider the next two to be toss-ups regardless of the seedings.

Texas Tech simply has no business being in this tourney. Butler should waste them and I hope they do.

But that there is a whole lot of bracket busting!

In my money bracket, I got the following first round upsets:

Hawaii over Cal
Temple over Iowa
Yale over Baylor
UNI over UT
VCU over Oregon St.
Michigan over ND
Pitts over Wisconsin
Iona over ISU
Syracuse over Dayton

Whoops. I think I picked too many upsets...

I picked Hawaii over Cal, too.

Given the injury to Wallace I think that's a popular pick.

I think they still get by Hawaii...but go down to Maryland.

God I hope Yale beats Baylor and NIU smokes the Horns!

I have the Aggies going to the final four. No particular love, I just like their senior leadership and depth.

Lack of depth is going to catch up with Oklahoma at some point.

Cal also just initiated an investigation into one of their assistants last week.. Some turmoil going on in that program. I picked the rainbow warriors with the upset too. Also went with vcu over Oregon state.

He's already been let go

What about the secretary?

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.

It happened! YAY!

I wanted to take that Yale in my pool but switched cause I just couldn't do it. Well looking at my pool after the game I must have switched back to Yale and forgot. Such a great win. Baylor losing is always good for the heart.

It's not often i pace the living room and scream at the TV when my team isn't playing but between Yale and Little Rock.... My dogs thought I'd lost it.
