March Madness: Who ya got in the Final 4?
Sun Mar 17, 2013 2:41 pm
  • http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketb ... nt/bracket

    First of all, my Ducks got screwed. 12 seed after winning the Pac 12 tourney and being 2nd in the regular season. UCLA and Arizona, who the Ducks have 3 wins against combined are both 6 seeds. UNLV who the Ducks beat in Las Vegas are a 5. And the one that really gets my steamed, Colorado who the Ducks finished ahead of in both the regular season and tournament are a 10. Doesnt make much sense.

    But now that I got my bitching out of the way, Heres my final 4:

    Michigan State
    Ohio State
    Miami
    Kansas.

    With Miami winning the whole thing.

    Probably. As much confidence as I have in Ducks football, its about the opposite for Ducks basketball. They should still be higher then a 12 seed though, based off the other teams in their conference.

    Probably. I pretty much always have beef with how the seeding works. But yeah, Ducks should be at least an 8, if not a bit higher.

    Agree with both of you. UO got a shitty deal from the commitee.

  • UO got a bad seed, but I see them having a nice road to the sweet 16. UO is 5-0 vs rpi top 25 while Ok st is 2-4. A 12 winning vs a 5 isn't much of an upset since generally every year 2 of the 12 win the first game.

  • Louisville
    Indiana
    Oklahoma
    Kansas state

    I have a feeling that Oklahoma wins it all don't ask me why just got a feeling.

    But I agree that Oregon got robbed they should have been a 5 or 6 seed. And Gonzaga loses in the sweet 16

  • While I think a 12 seed was rather low for Oregon, I didn't see them getting much higher than a 9 seed because they didn't play a very good out of conference slate and the NCAA committee takes that rather seriously.

    On topic, my initial thoughts are: Ohio State, Indiana, Louisville, Florida. I haven't gotten a chance to run the numbers yet, so I'm sure that'll change once I see who's looking good.

  • Initial predictions:
    Louisville
    Gonzaga
    Georgetown
    Indiana
    Then have Louisville over Indiana 70-66 in the final.
    (Haven't looked over to many advanced stats metrics yet, which will probably change a few of my picks. However feeling confident about that final 4.)
    If anyone fills out a perfect bracket this year, they should be knighted.

    Gonzaga

    Indiana

    Oregon and UCLA out in their first game but I have Colorado advancing to elite eight as I see Miami as very susceptible to an upset.

  • The 15 that wins? I got Florida Gulf Coast. IIRC, they beat the Canes earlier this year.

    Ducks seeding kind of pissed me off, and thats really hard to do considering I hate the Ducks. I think they win 2 games.

  • This is a big day for FGCU, only in their second year of eligibility and they're in the tournament(they lost in the A-Sun final last year). Cause I live near the campus I've seen some pretty excited people for this. They might shock people and upset Georgetown, but not sure about them advancing past that.

    Even as a Ducks fan, I have to agree with the Okie here. 12 seeds that didn't go to the previous year's dance are only 17-58 in these games whereas teams with OK States stats are 47-16.

    Being an 8 is almost a kiss of death though. Beating a 1 in the second round is rare. 12 or 13 are much more favorable seedings.

    I think the Ducks will beat St. Louis to get into a matchup with Louisville. Today was the tough one, imo.

    I definitely wouldn't sleep on St. Louis. They looked as athletic as the Ducks, and they were tested in a very tough A-10 this year. Oregon can do it, but it won't be an easy double digit win.

    Louisville
    Indiana
    Ohio St
    Georgetown
    With Louisville beating Indiana in the title game.
    I have gonzaga losing to Wisconsin in the sweet 16, and my sleeper pick to make a unexpected run this year is Creighton, I think Doug McDermott will lead them to the elite eight before they lose to louisville

  • My FF is still alive: Louisville, Kansas, OSU, Indiana. A lot of chalk, but the only one I wasn't confident about is Louisville. I went with them, however, because they're mostly the same team as last year's Final Four entrant.

  • Louisville, New Mexico, Florida, Indiana

    I've had some good picks, like Wichita State getting this far, and Oregon getting past Saint Louis, even though I'm a grad student at SLU. Unfortunately, those were way too little too late. Got really, really screwed by New Mexico, Wisconsin, and VCU. I had New Mexico in the final game (losing to Indiana), so that one especially hurt.
