(based on Vegas.com odds) 11 Winthrop / 6 Notre Dame (-4) 11 George Washington / 6 Vanderbilt (-3.5) 11 VCU / 6 Duke (-6.5) 11 Stanford / 6 Louisville (-5.5) I could see two of the four pulling upsets. And then again, I can also see me losing bets on all four games. Ahhhhh...the magical weekend that is the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.
Final Four predictions Oregon UCLA OSU Texas National Championship game Oregon vs. OSU Winner is Ohio State. GO Ducks though!
i'm less concerned with maryland winning than covering -7. maybe maryland can get the lead and then davidson can foul to catch up, but it doesn't work and they lose by 8 or so. b/c i don't see them winning by 8 outright at this point.
I wanted to pick Davidson badly, because no one gets to 29 wins without being pretty good. But they have beaten no one of consequence. Central Connecticut is probably the best team they've beaten this year. So I picked Maryland.
First game, first miss in my bracket. I guess this makes up for my perfect first day and 31-1 first round last year.
