NCAA Tournament Challenge help
March 17, 2010 at 10:07PM View BBCode
I have been invited to a league in the above ESPN comp by some friends in the US. Being an aussie living in australia with basically no idea about basketball i assume they asked me to join so i can be a laughing stock.
My plea is for some of you wise basketball heads to help me fill in my brackets so i can stick it right up these guys :D:D
would love your help. consider it your charitable act for the year. i can post the matchups if you like.
even just a few tips of the best teams would be handy..
Cheers

Take all the #1 seeds to go to the final and Kansas to win it all, devalue mid rank Big 10 schools early and then check out mascots as a tirbreaker - sure fire victory mate.

Wisconsin has a definite shot at a Final Four. I'm not sure you think a 4 seed is mid-rank, but the Badgers could easily surprise Kentucky and get to the Elite Eight, at least. The rest of the Big 10 kind of sucks, though.

Syracuse is dealing with a major injury that happened in the conference tourney, so they're clearly not as good as their #1 seed suggests. And Duke starts a ton of white guys.

:lol: you lost me at 'big 10'...
just starting my mascot research now... what is a Hoya? and can it beat up on an Aztec?

A hoya is a dog.
There are no perfect teams out there this year. I recommend starting in Round 1 by advancing all the 1s and 2s. Probably through the second round but as noted that's not as sure a thing. I tend to think that Temple got underseeded as they've been hot lately-winning 10 straight including a 3rd straight A-10 title. I was expecting a 3 for them but they got a tough draw with Cornell which is a very good team but I think Temple should advance a couple of rounds. I tend to think that Big East schools are going to do very well (there are 8 of them in the tournament-Syracuse (1), Villanova (2), West Virginia (2), Georgetown (3), Pitt (3) Marquette (6), Notre Dame (6), Louisville (9)) I think Notre Dame is a little high but I have them all winning in the first and my bracket hinges on this league doing well

A buckeye is a poisonous nut. That trumps all. Ohio State all the way....to the Final Four... as long as the starting 5 stay healthy.... fo shizzle.
