hey mate, there are very good reasons why I have picked those two teams.
I picked UNC because of Jordan and Gonzaga because of Stockton.
Well in that case, carry on.

you have to go pick by pick. click on the little 'i' icons.
Or just click on the name, you don't need the info page, but it helps.
Same here!

Ole Miss' willingness to keep competing made me pick them over Xavier. I like teams that don't give up.

Oh look at that; Ole Miss won. There's a reason they went to OT with UK. Like I said.
Everyone knows Kentucky's weaknesses. If your force them into playing passive on both ends of the court, you can beat them. Force them to shoot jumpers and hope they aren't hitting, try to get early fouls on the bigs so they can't be aggressive defensively.
That is certainly easier said than done though, and if you don't have quality size and can't shoot from the perimeter, you likely aren't going to win even if you accomplish those things.

This is mine, except I have Wisconsin over Arizona. Glad to know I'm not crazy for picking Iowa St!
Also I'm really glad the first four don't count or I'd be 0/2 so far ¯\_(ツ

I have Ole Miss going a few rounds. They seem like a good Cinderella team even if they're a somewhat larger school.

I'm a big fan of him. He was nails last night with those 3 point shots on the run.
What questions do you have about selection sunday? I'd be happy to answer some questions for a potential new UK fan.
It's basically the only way to seed a tournament in a league with 351 teams. As much as people make drama about snubs and mis seeding, it's mostly just for fun. Selection sunday shouldn't have much of an effect on any team who actually has a chance to win the thing.
P.S. GO BIG BLUE!
I guess it was just too much new information, with the number of conferences (and teams) involved, and the rules for seeding (I guess there's a subjective element to it?).
Well, finding out the University colors were the same as my FC Porto back home made me immediately like the place a bit more. Big blue nation and all that
Well, I do feel like a bandwagon fan, supporting the current nº1 team, but it's not because of that, it just happens to be the University I'm currently at.
But, no, I'm never happy to do anything that may be linked to Man Utd in any way. ;P

What problem? I mean I'm not exactly thrilled about having to face UNC again if we get that far, but we're not nearly as outclassed this time, again at least in theory.
It's kind of sad how poor the gophers are athletically. If college sizes were analogous to city populations, the university of Minnesota would be the equivalent of Houston or Chicago. It should be a sports powerhouse.
I suppose the Twin Cities having 4 pro teams, the biggest theater scene in the country outside of Broadway, and one of (if not the) biggest indie music scenes while only being the #15 metro area means there's just not enough broad population support to go around.

I'm predicting a championship game between Kentucky and UC Irvine.
Anteaters win NCAA championship game 116 to -32.

Minnesota produces plenty of talent they justt can't keep them in-state. The gophers with Tyus Jones is a completely different team and likely at the top of the big 10.

Every good player has left the state. Jones on Duke. El-Amin dude went off to UConn back in the day. And so on. If we did a better job recruiting instead of looking to Africa for players...yeah, we'd be alright. Then again we have good players that just didn't show up this year in Hollins and Mathieu. One was good while the other was bad. They were never good at the same time.
Mason, Morris and King should be better next year but that's only 3 players. This team is severely lacking a power forward and now we don't have a center either. Konate and Diedhieou I don't see becoming very good players...maybe Elliott Elliason level...so good enough to sit on the bench.

Yup, thanks for James Laurinaitis
If we're talking about football, Minnesota is one of the worst states in the country as far as producing in state talent. Not saying there still shouldn't be enough for them to win if they could keep them all in-state, but it's not close to being a hotbed for talent.
