NCAA upset thread

Well, as my bracket has already been damaged, I thought I would start a discussion on what could be another very upset filled tournament.

We already had Morehead St with the big 13/4 upset of Louisville, a team that lost in the Big East championship game to UConn. Maybe this will get the BCS contigient on the side of deemphasising conference tournaments in regard to using them for the automatic bid.

We now have Kentucky up 2 over Princeton with less than two seconds left. Time for another Pete Carril like miracle shot ala 1997?

Nope! Kentucky survives (and my bracket) 59-57. Still though, I have only one word for this year's SEC conference:

OVERRATED!!!
 
Two questions.

1) Has anybody else's CBS been out all day? I have direct TV and no CBS signal is working all day. So I don't get those games and they don't even switch to the ending on most channels, just say it is on CBS.

2) Can Sydney just swing through Peoria on his way back, or is someone going to meet him outside the stadium for his interview?

Welcome to the new format LC. Though I don't think CBS was supposed to be out. It's fine on my cable system at home.

The reason for no endings is that you now have four stations to choose from. Just change the channel to the game you want, and there it will be. Problematic for those who don't have cable, but there still is March Madness on Demand for those with high speed internet.

Oh, I don't know Bravesfan. :? Most people I talk to think this is a down year for that conference. That being said though, Florida may be the most over rated seed in history.

not sure i agree with that statement..... outside of 3-5 games Florida has been pretty consistent. I've been a Bradley fan for a long time as well as a gator fan, no band wagon here either. anyways lets find a coach to take us to that level someday.

We'll see how florida ends up....a 2 seed that ended up ranked 15 is kind of weird though
 
So far two big upsets today, but not the two I picked. I was debating about picking Richmond, but that could have gone either way, as it turned out. Maybe I should have picked one of the teams no one had winning like Morehead St., but thinking they weren't even the best regular season team out of the Ohio Valley, I figured why take the chance. Ooops!

Now hopefully we get some upsets here in the final four games, as I have all lower seeds chosen. Hopefully these will come through as my Belmont upset pick laid an egg. I did not expect Wisconsin to score over 70 in this game, especially after the way they performed against Penn St. last week!

According to the Direct TV person I talked to this afternoon there were some issues with Channel 43 which also affected Channel 31. It's been corrected as I just watched Jimmer lead BYU to victory over Wofford.

Good for you! And Morehead St actually has a good shot to beat Richmond in a rare 12/13 second round matchup. I was hoping that there would be a Utah St/Belmont 12/13 matchup for me, but that won't happen now, though hopefully Utah St takes care of business against Kansas St.

Gonzaga is looking good with an early 24-14 lead over St. Johns. This would be good as I have Gonzaga in the Sweet 16. I already lost two S16 teams in Louisville and Old Dominion, and had ODU in the Elite 8! Oh well! As that part of the braket is blown for me, I hope Butler makes it at least that far now.
 
Uggghhh! The only upset going on tonight is my whole bracket! :mad: Michigan St. losing by 20 at one point to UCLA??? I guess they are playing to their "potential" after all, and what we saw occasionally towards the end of the season was a complete mirage!

Utah St. still with a shot, but down 9 late in the first half, so they better get going before that game gets out of hand.

It's not looking good for Missouri either. Go Oakland tomorrow!
 
I have USU win one and done the next and I have Missouri in sweet 16, it's alright though. A buddy of mine has Michigan St. in the Elite 8 and K State in the final four. REALLY hoping for USU upset!!!

Michigan St. with a furious comeback, now down just 76-72 with 45 seconds left! A 31-15 run in progress.
