Have never come close to winning a bracket. What thoughts you got? Who's winning?
Tell me your NCAA tourney thoughts
- Thread starter Bro D
- Start date
Look up the Kenpom adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency trends for the last decade and see the teams that qualify this year. Cuts the field down to like 7-10 possible champions and is pretty much always accurate.
The hawks will get a 1 seed but if Caitlin doesn't play better than in the BTT they'll struggle to make the final 4. I think the rest will do her good and she'll be back to mid season form for the tourney
I picked Virginia over Texas Tech a few years ago. Had the win sewn up with the Final Four.
I had Texas Tech over Virginia and suffered a more crushing loss than the players on the court
Had UConn at 24/1 last year to win it all. Not gonna get that again in them.
Here are the teams with the most NBA players projected to be in the draft. I will probably be taking one of these. Even though they all looked like shit today.
Colorado
Kentucky
Baylor
Marquette
Illinois
UConn
Creighton
Duke
I really want to root for Houston because I love the way they play but I cannot get over how big of a scumbag their coach is.
I try not to get too excited about teams and thinking about their tournament potential, but Houston does soooooooo many things well that lend itself to success in March.
Won my older brother’s pool when I was in 6th grade. 94 Arkansas title. He never paid me. That’s all I got
Might be the best Nebraska MBB team...ever?
Otherwise...Drake, ISU, Nebraska, Illinois, NW, and Wisconsin are going dancing - and Iowa isn't. Let that sink in a bit.
Boring. College athletics in general has become awful, on many levels.
I would have followed FSU if they'd gotten a bid, but that's it.

My thoughts are Iowa fans will be super pissed after they watch the Mid Major's Point Guard play. I also predict Iowa fans will wish they had them on our team.
Iowa has a shot at 2 Champs in Ayala and Woods. Will be tough to get a top 4 trophy unless both make the finals though.
Only ncaas that matter.

I guarantee that the Final 4 will not look like it did last year.
Woods has been getting his ass whipped. I would be surprised if he was an AA this year.
The year UNI beat Kansas I had them in the Elite 8. I finished in the top 250 for ESPN’s Bracket Challenge. My bracket was called UNI Upset.
Didn’t come close but I’ve never been that high in a national on.
Work brackets they usually are around 200 people and highest I’ve gotten is 40.

Yeah there's an article on ESPN that broke this down. The author has about 8 teams that statistically have the most realistic chance of winning, and his model has produced a champion well over 10 years running.
He has not been as good this year, no denying that. I'd be legit shocked if he didn't make the podium but it is a real (haha get it?) Possibility
I remember my picks destroying Obama's and Dicky V's the same year...
We used to make a work pool where 8 of us would each pick from a presorted 8 team package that would include a # 1, a # 3, a # 5, a # 7, a # 9, a # 11 , a # 13 and a # 15 or a # 2, # 4, # 6, # 8, # 10, #12, # 14 and # 16. Then determine an entry fee and pay the top three places according to whose 8 teams got the most wins....
