1. USC sucks, everyone sees that now
2. Surprisingly well I think
3. Everybody and their mother is going to say Richmond here I believe. Does K-State count as an upset since a lot of people are picking Utah State? Maybe i’ll go with Old Dominion then. Even though Pitt is in my championship game. This bracket will be a mess.
4. 2. Pitt and Uconn
5. Black Rose, although I always go to McFadden’s. Thank god for happy hour.
6. The ACC has had pretty easy matchups in the NIT. Don’t let a 3-0 start fool you, at any point one of us can fall. BC against Northwestern is a tough matchup, but as long as we play like we did in the first half of mcneese st, we should win. Wichita St could easily give Virginia Tech a scare, but should be a win for VT. On the other hand, Miami will probably fall to Missouri St.
Clemson?
Does Clemson count as a dark horse? If they win, I could easily see them beating the Princeton / Kentucky winner.

I’d count Clemson as a dark horse. I don’t really see Princeton standing a chance against Kentucky, but Kentucky is a team a lot like WVU….and they both don’t play all too well against defenses like Clemson’s.
P.S. It feels really weird rooting for Clemson considering..

I also picked Belmont and Utah State to win. If that happens, one of those teams is going to the Sweet 16.

Lol they’re my surprise sweet 16 team. Why didn’t u make a group this year?

I’m dinging your Morehead State pick a bit because I’m pretty sure you picked all 11 Big East teams to lose in the first round … ;)
Go UNC-Asheville!

Duke, again.
USC proved me right.
I had them as an upset, tough one.
I like Wisconsin in the 4 and Washington and Purdue in the 8. Not very horsey but still.
None of them! Duke wins again.
No clue.
I’d be cursing if they weren’t.
