now when you say no upsets, do you mean based on the seed or the betting line?

I just think it'd be better if they lost so they get a better draft pick

oh and btw last year I picked both them and Marquette out in the first round, always seems whenever I pick a wisconsin team to do well, they don't

Yet you are picking Marquette to go far this year. I can understand picking them to lose to Vanderbilt, but Montana? come on.

The Bucks thing is different, cheering for them to get in the lottery actually might give them a better chance to get a star for the future because it isn't like they would do anything this year as an 8 seed.

I can see UW and MU doing exactly what they did last year: Sweet 16 and done.

Wisconsin is good enough to beat almost anyone on a good day, and MU is good enough to beat anyone when they aren't beating themselves.

I think that region's 1-3 (MSU, Mizzou, MU) can all get hot and ride it to a championship.

Line.

I agree. Marquette can make a run to the final four. They have the talent. However, I see the Badgers like you say sweet 16 and done. They don't have the weapons to make a deep run. Their defense and style of play can only take them so far in this tournament every year. They can beat anyone on a given day, but can they ever beat 3 or 4 teams in a row that are more talented and athletic. Probably not

now finally something I can agree with you on

You agree that Wade has herpes?

No just the first line he wrote, I didn't read past that.

11. Bo's first player with a tatoo 11/16 11 points
13. My dad can beat up your dad 9/16 9 points
14. Milwaukee's best bracket 0/16 0 points

In case I didn't mention it, round of 64 is worth 1 point, then next round jumps to 2, then 4, 8, 16, 32
and there's a seed difference bonus, that bonus also doubles in the last three rounds.

Leading the 1st round! Which really doesn't mean anything, but I will take it.

well half of the first round, but yeah points keep doubling as the rounds go on so those mean a lot

I'm just happy that my whole sweet 16 is still alive, not often does that happen after day 1

for me at least

Two people just lost their National Champion.

:(

I just got home from working an 11 hour shift and I see two #2's go down, just crazy, I mean how many #15's have even won in the past? Like 4?

so I got 19 of the 32 right in the first round, 12 of my sweet 16 is still alive, 7 of my elite 8 and all of my final four still alive

A 15 beats a 2 once every 1019 days, according to CBS.
