  Upsets I called on my bracket today are X, Virginia, Texas, NC State, Belmont and Purdue.

  Ive got: NCST and Belmont, thats it. Didnt have too many yesterday either. Only VCU and UCONN. All the teams I liked this year for upsets got seeded high! This is the fewest upsets Ive ever seen at first glance going through a bracket. I could see a bunch of games today going either way though. Yesterday I really only saw UCONN/Iowa ST, VCU/WSU and UNLV/Colorado as flip games.

  Texas, NC St., Belmont, Purdue
  
  Really pushing for Belmont since they are the only one I have advancing to the Sweet 16 out of the upsets.

  Same here. If I can hit that correctly I'll be sitting pretty in my bracket, but obviously Georgetown won't be a gimme.

  I've got Bama(not really sure why lol), State, and OU.
  
  I have Virginia also, but not in the Chatter group.

  I also think USF beats Temple. But I didn't pick it.

  I have Ohio, X, USF, NC State and Belmont. Hopefully, they all go through. In the pool I'm in with friends, I think I'm in last place after yesterday because of minor things like going 3-5 during the evening games. With one of my friends being perfect for the day. No biggie overall, because I only lost one Sweet 16 team with the six losses I had for the day, but I do need to turn shit around and fast. My reputation is getting chucked out the fucking window here!

  I have USF and Ohio pulling it out today. Hoping they both pull through. Love when we get a 12/13 type matchup.
• Laley23

  

  Holy Shit! Cincinnati has no shot today. They are playing the Showtime Lakers for Christs sake.
  
  
  ...seriously. 2 points for Texas at 11:36 left in the first half. TWO! Thats just pathetic.
• gorocks99

  

  Fucking Texas.
• ttocs14

  

  Good news for Texas is Cincy isn't a good offensive team, meaning they should have an opportunity to get back in this if they can start putting together some good possessions. J'covan Brown has to start hitting eventually...
• chicago510

  

  Rofl Texas
• gorocks99

  

  A blistering 1-14 (7%) from the field for the Longhorns thus far. I feel like a dumbass for picking these chumps.
• chicago510

  

  Lid on the right rim in Nashville.
• gorocks99

  

  Over/under for Texas points scored today: 35.
  
  I'll take the over. Barely.
• ttocs14

  

  Over
  I say they get into the 50s. Will have to keep Cincinnati off the glass if they want a chance to win
• Crimson streak

  

  Damn good move by gates then air balls the free throw lol

  Does anyone else feel this way? It seemed to me like last night they sold out and just about mugged Sully every time he got the ball, and then Thomas made them pay for it.

  Not as strongly. I think he benefits from having someone in the middle who can score, but it's not like he had a game where he shot 59% and usually shoots 30%. He averages 54% on the year. It just seems like his touches get limited at times. He has been the most consistent scorer on the team. MSU has been the only one to really (and consistently) shut him down.

  3 point game now cinci is taking bad shots
• Crimson streak

  

  Texas missed a dunk lol

  And we're tied

  And as soon has Texas has control, tied with the ball, they turn it over without a shot, and first thing you know they are down six and probably won't get a smell again!
• ironman02

  So Texas comes all the way back and then they do absolutely everything wrong in the final minutes. Figures.
• wildcats20

  

  And this will make be 1-1 today lol
