NCAA Tournament Round 2

Round 2 kicks off today with the following games.

Atlanta
#1 Duke vs. #8 George Washington
#4 LSU vs. #12 Texas A&M

Oakland
#10 Alabama vs. #2 UCLA
#6 Indiana vs. #3 Gonzaga

Washington D.C.
#7 Wichita St. vs. #2 Tennessee
#4 Illinois vs. #5 Washington

Minneapolis
#11 WI Milwaukee vs. #3 Florida
#12 Montana vs. #4 Boston College

I've been pretty lousy at picking the upsets so far, but...
Okay, here goes nothing. I'll wager Montana over B.C., Indiana over Gonzaga and G.W. to upend Duke.

Cool Re: NCAA Tournament Round 2

Lefty: I hope your lousiness continues. I have Gonzaga and Duke in my final 4. ( Along with Wichita State and Ohio State).

My upset picks today: Wichita State over Tennessee. And let's get crazy: Alabama over UCLA.

Re: NCAA Tournament Round 2

I'm gonna say that Montana has no chance of beating BC. BC is too powerful, and they will wear Montana down. I do like the Wichita State pick though. They looked solid in the first round, where as TN did not.

Re: NCAA Tournament Round 2

I have Wichita State making the sweet 16 in my brackets. I thought Tennessee was the most overrated of all the high seeds. They didn't even make the SEC semifinals. SEC has done well in the first round though, so I will wait and see what happens today and tomorrow.

Cool Re: NCAA Tournament Round 2

I think Lofton was being too conservative in his shot selection. Maybe he should have pulled up at half-court a couple of times and let it fly!

Question Re: NCAA Tournament Round 2

Does anyone know why we put the American flags on the uniforms for the NCAA tournament? Just wondering...

Re: NCAA Tournament Round 2

I am not positive, but I think it is to show support for our troops overseas.

Re: NCAA Tournament Round 2

Thanks. I knew it was to support the troops, but I couldnt figure out why they put them on there all the sudden. I just thought it was interesting how they wernt on there during the regular season and now they are.
