Rosesong Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 It's that time of year again! This topic is here for you to post your brackets and predictions for the 2016 NCAA DI Men's Basketball Championship. Quote
Red_Chaos Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 if you guys want to i have a group started on espn if you wanna sign up and compete. I may be able to find a small prize for the winner. (unless its me then you get nothing) http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2016/en/group?groupID=1175955 password: Reborn also i picked Michigan State :S Quote
Chase Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 My two favorite mid-major schools in this bracket have been semi-new-neighbors in the Ship tourney - The Lumberjacks of Stephan F. Austin out of Nacogdoches, Texas - and a team that was doing insanely well but was criminally underreported - the Friars of Providence, Rhode Island. The Jacks and Friars are going to be teams I enjoy watching and I would be okay if they busted my bracket further. SFA is a very good shooting and passing team - and suffers the most when getting down early due not being as stout defensively. I don't know much about the Friars other than them going undefeated and playing strong opponents earlier in the year...supposedly. I'll be hoping Vanderbilt beats Wichita State in that play in game - and I hate the SEC too.... I also hate UNC and Kentucky. The team I'll always personally cheer for over anything else is Oklahoma. Boomer Sooner...although those Aggies are a very dangerous bunch. Virginia Commonwealth, Dayton, and Northern Iowa are very good teams - with the former two being solid bracket teams. I like Sparty, but I've picked Sparty to win it all and before and they always let me down.... Xavier is going to knock off the Tar Heels/Wildcats for me so I can be happy about life - and the Big 12 proves it's the best basketball conference. #RockChalk ...I'll find a way to get my bracket pictures up later....

Red_Chaos Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Nobody truly likes Kentucky except for Kentucky fans. I do think that because this year has been inconsistent in terms that some of the mid majors might not do well this year because the majors might have things worked out now but we shall see. I will admit tho i rather see Wichita state win over Vanderbilt, Mid west preference Quote
bepe Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I really don't understand how tulsa made the field. A michigan state and virginia rematch potentially looming in the elite 8 could be fun, plus potential matchups for indiana-kentucky and texas-texas a&m in the second round are very interesting. Quote
Red_Chaos Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I really don't understand how tulsa made the field. A michigan state and virginia rematch potentially looming in the elite 8 could be fun, plus potential matchups for indiana-kentucky and texas-texas a&m in the second round are very interesting. i believe tulsa must have had some quality wins inside the top 25/50 the committee used that reasoning to give virginia the nod for a 1 seed over mich st. they seemed to like teams that could win multiple games inside that bracket Quote
Red_Chaos Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 First Four winner for tuesday is Flordia Gulf Coast over FDU Wichita st has a slight lead over Vandy at the moment Quote
bepe Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Who's your picks for tonight? I see southern over holy cross and michigan over tulsa. Quote
Red_Chaos Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 most brackets didn't give me the option to pick those games but.... I ABSOULTELY do not like Michigan. I understand they are going in with the hotter hand BUT I JUST CAN"T PICK THEM So ill go with Tulsa and Holy Cross hoping the the HC is still hot from their tournament run but it would not surprise me if Southern and Michigan win.... Quote
bepe Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I feel pretty confident in michigan because their biggest weakness is a center and tulsa doesn't really have a dominant big man. Add in the fact that michigan's shooters are better and I feel like they'll pull it out. Quote
Red_Chaos Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 UPDATED (i had to take a test) Uconn 74 Colorado 67 Duke 93 UNC will 85 Bulter 71, Texas Tech 61 Quote
bepe Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Well we have our first upset. I didn't agree with several of those late calls by the refs, but congrats to yale! Quote
Red_Chaos Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Yale wins over baylor for the upset 12 over 5 seed and gives us our first true leader on our brackets Biggy (Jake) is in first place with a 3 way tie for 2nd and sparky round out the bottom Quote
Another Felix Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Somehow, my school got into this, so rooting for Stony Brook. We're up against Kentucky, so they'll probably lose. Quote

bepe Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 And another 5 goes down. Purdue blows a 13 point lead in the last 3:09 before losing in 2OT to arkansas-little rock. Quote
Odybld Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 And another 5 goes down. Purdue blows. There, fixed it for ya. I saw the finale of that game, first time I watch NCAA (I'm european) and god that was... the least bad may win... Quote
