Upset predictions!!

I just printed out my bracket and have been filling it out. I see a couple potential 5-12 upsets (George Washington could beat an ailing Georgia Tech and New Mexico could surprise Villanova). I haven't filled out too much yet but those are a couple that I see. Anybody predict any huge upsets?

Hmmm... maybe I'll make a bet on that one. I have a feeling that I can find a lot of suckers to take that bet. :rolleyes:

I think Vermont has a good chance against Syracuse (of course, Syracuse is my pick to win it all). I also think that Utah State could beat Arizona and I am almost positive Washington will lose to Pacific in the second round.

There is no way Vermont beats Syracuse, they rely too much on Coppenrath who will be neutered when he plays the 2-3.

Coppenrath could get a ton of rebounds against that zone, and could possibly hold down Warrick pretty well.

If there's one thing in this world that I know, it's that teams whose game revolves around one dominant big man and a bunch of decent but unspectacular role-players and not enough good perimeter shooters do not beat the masters of the 2-3.[Edited on 3-14-2005 by FuriousGiorge]

Your probably right. I am still picking Syracuse to win it all, I'm just saying that Vermont has a decent chance, especially compared to most other 13 seeds. If McNamera hits one of his cold streaks where he can't make anything and Coppenrath does a decent job defensively, it could end up being a pretty low scoring game, and Vermont may have a chance.[Edited on 3-14-2005 by Cubsfan13]

It's a tough matchup for Vermont because of that zone. And Coppenrath will likely have to spend a lot of energy on the defensive end trying to contain Warrick. Vermont is a pretty good team but Syracuse matches up extremely well with them which sucks for Vermont.

Ive Got UCLA to beat Texas Tech, UAB over LSU, Nothern Iowa over Wisconsin, and Niagra over Oklhoma

I was thinking about putting UCLA over Texas Tech but decided against it. I also have UAB over LSU. I have George Washington upsetting a banged up Georgia Tech as well.

My boldest pick: Old Dominion over Michigan State. I also have N.C. State over Charlotte, UCLA over Tech, and I like GW's chances against Georgia Tech.

Texas Tech will probably get past UCLA. In fact I think they could make the elite 8.

I don't think so, not with Gonzaga and Wake in the same pod.

Yeah right. Rule #1 in picking brackets - never pick a team with a compass direction in their name.
