After seeing some good tourney talk in the fishing forum, wondered what teams we think will make it to final four then win the championship.
My final four: Duke, Wisconsin, VCU, and Indiana. Indiana picked to win it all.
Anticipate any big upsets?
My possible upsets: Louisville defeated before Elite 8, Gonzaga exits in second round.
What are your picks and upsets?
I pick your Final Four your to upset by 2nd or 3rd round!
My Final 4
Georgetown
Miami
Kansas St.
Oklahoma St.
I like the upset picks this year, since I have no dog in this fight.
Michican State takes all and Iwho goes out in second round
Travis Ford's team is already out!
What a day of basketball on Friday!!
Is Louisville going to have to play anybody???????????????
no one else wants to talk basketball? Given Indiana figured there'd be some conversations. Esp with upsets & refs. Florida Gulf Coast is looking like a cinderella.
Too wide open this year, no telling what is going to happen. And.... locator is supposed to be fishing, not watching Louisville basketball, LOL.
HHD
I told myself I wasn't watching, and I was gonna pout. But I think I've watched almost every game, I can't stop!!! I even watched your Hoosier's ESCAPE a game they had no business winning. But I guess thats the name of the game, survive and advance.Quote:

Midwest should be very interesting with Duke, Michigan St , and Louisville and Oregon is no slouch. Put up a fast moving team that can handle the press, and Louisville could be eating rubber bands. Get the popcorn ready.Quote:

My Good Friday guarantee: There will be at least one team from FL make it to the Elite 8. LOL
Seriously, this year they did a good job ranking seeds. All sections but the West have at least 3 remaining teams seeded as 1-4 in Sweet 16 (East is ranked perfectly with its 4 remaining teams seeded 1-4). :ThumbsUp
BTW... Did anyone catch WNDE interview with A.J. Moye (an IU fan favorite 6'3") yesterday? It's great to hear him after his massive stroke. Among other things, they were commenting on his famous blocked shot in the NCAA tourney Duke game against Boozer (currently in NBA 6'9")- comparing it to the block in the weekend game against Temple. You may find this interesting, he mentioned where this blocked shot made it on the top 75 NCAA tourney moments. :fingerdance
There is plenty of tournament left with more memorable basketball left to play. It'd be nice to see FGC continue its success. On the other hand it could be a Big 10 Final Four. :highfive
I'm an IU fan, but I'm also rooting for Florida Gulf Coast. They are fun to watch and I think they might be the real deal.
I am picking IU to beat Temple last week.
Popcorn is floating....I am still crying in my popcorn bowl, LOL. Oh well, guess I'll be out fishing with Locator now.
HHD
There's room on the FGCU bandwagon for you HHD....One good thing about IU's loss....I don't have to watch Tom Crean kiss any more men!!Quote:

Whew... I'm still trying to get the image of that Louisville's Ware kid's bone popping out of his leg in yesterday's Louisville/Duke game. Gave me the willies....that was pretty gruesome. I wish the kid the best.
HHD
That was one of the worst I've ever seen. Hate to see that happen to anybody.
