Oh, and FWIW I don't expect Kansas to come out and kill anybody they play by 20+ past their first game. I do trust Self to get these guys to play to their potential and win close games. I don't care who they face. I think they can match up and beat any team in this bracket.

And it's not the easiest of brackets.

Looks like Lunardi nailed the field this year, got all 68 teams.

Ceej · 03-17-2013, 05:54 PM

I don't have any #1s in my final four. :/

This is tentative, of course.

**banyon** · 03-17-2013, 06:05 PM

For KU I think we gotta hope Michigan gets knocked off before the sweet 16. Because that will be a Baylor*2 factor with one of the best PG's Trey Burke really bad matchup.

We play better D than Michigan, but if they turn us over a bit, we will lose.

Not scared of anyone else in our bracket including Gtown. Florida would be a battle.

I haven't the slightest idea who to pick in the bracket this year as far as a lot of the first round games. I know who I want in the Final 4 I think, but damn...this is tough when you don't pay attention, and tough even when you do.

Anyone think Oklahoma State will have their hands full with 12 seed Oregon?

Yes. Considering they fell asleep on a twenty point lead against Baylor and then lost to K-State; I'd say they aren't coming into this thing as mentally well-adjusted as they need to be.

Smart is still one of the best and most fun to watch players in the NCAA, so he can will them to victory, but they won't cake-walk over Oregon.

Yeah I think Oklahoma St will win ultimately, but I'm thinking about picking Oregon.

I'm disappointed the Hawkeyes aren't in there...but they didn't deserve it. They just left so many games out there in the 2nd half, including Friday night's game against Michigan State.

Just too much inconsistency. I still like the direction McCaffery has the program headed in.

Now that would probably be an interesting game. High scoring at least.

Going to be crazy. Hopefully a 16 takes down a 1 heh.

It has to happen some time. Don't think it will be this year, but I'm sure I'll see it in my lifetime.

Pasta Little Brioni · 03-17-2013, 06:23 PM

True. Always love the big upset and the proverbial sound of a million brackets being shredded and a many ****s being shouted.

lcarus · 03-17-2013, 06:32 PM

One of my friends is a big Michigan fan and he's already talkin trash lol. I told him he better worry about SDSU and VCU first. KU better worry about NC or Villanova as well. I hope it's KU/Michigan though. Would be fun for the both of us.

Ceej · 03-17-2013, 06:37 PM

I feel absolutely ****ing dirty for having 2 of my final four teams be B1G teams.
