Upsets I called on my bracket today are X, Virginia, Texas, NC State, Belmont and Purdue.
Ive got: NCST and Belmont, thats it. Didnt have too many yesterday either. Only VCU and UCONN. All the teams I liked this year for upsets got seeded high! This is the fewest upsets Ive ever seen at first glance going through a bracket. I could see a bunch of games today going either way though. Yesterday I really only saw UCONN/Iowa ST, VCU/WSU and UNLV/Colorado as flip games.

Texas, NC St., Belmont, Purdue

Really pushing for Belmont since they are the only one I have advancing to the Sweet 16 out of the upsets.

Same here. If I can hit that correctly I'll be sitting pretty in my bracket, but obviously Georgetown won't be a gimme.

I have Ohio, X, USF, NC State and Belmont. Hopefully, they all go through. In the pool I'm in with friends, I think I'm in last place after yesterday because of minor things like going 3-5 during the evening games. With one of my friends being perfect for the day. No biggie overall, because I only lost one Sweet 16 team with the six losses I had for the day, but I do need to turn shit around and fast. My reputation is getting chucked out the fucking window here!

I have USF and Ohio pulling it out today. Hoping they both pull through. Love when we get a 12/13 type matchup.

Holy Shit! Cincinnati has no shot today. They are playing the Showtime Lakers for Christs sake.


...seriously. 2 points for Texas at 11:36 left in the first half. TWO! Thats just pathetic.

Good news for Texas is Cincy isn't a good offensive team, meaning they should have an opportunity to get back in this if they can start putting together some good possessions. J'covan Brown has to start hitting eventually...

A blistering 1-14 (7%) from the field for the Longhorns thus far. I feel like a dumbass for picking these chumps.

Does anyone else feel this way? It seemed to me like last night they sold out and just about mugged Sully every time he got the ball, and then Thomas made them pay for it.

Not as strongly. I think he benefits from having someone in the middle who can score, but it's not like he had a game where he shot 59% and usually shoots 30%. He averages 54% on the year. It just seems like his touches get limited at times. He has been the most consistent scorer on the team. MSU has been the only one to really (and consistently) shut him down.

And as soon has Texas has control, tied with the ball, they turn it over without a shot, and first thing you know they are down six and probably won't get a smell again!
