Losing Creighton would definitely hurt me pretty bad, although I think they're probably a pretty popular pick to sail thru to the Elite 8.Terry_Tate;1594558 wrote:I'm so upset I didn't take ULL over Creighton in any of my brackets and took David Brown over Elfrid Payton. Not my best year.

Exactly. There was basically no chance of them beating Cuse.Azubuike24;1594567 wrote:Ohio State's pairing with Syracuse in a foursome was possibly the worst possible 3/6 game OSU could've gotten. Normally a 3/6, 4/5 advancement is fairly split on brackets, at least like 65/35. A neutral evaluation of OSU vs Cuse really was pretty simple...OSU getting rolled.
Have you not watched Syracuse play the past 2 months? Not good enough offensively to roll OSU. Would have been a first to 40 wins type of game.Azubuike24;1594567 wrote:Ohio State's pairing with Syracuse in a foursome was possibly the worst possible 3/6 game OSU could've gotten.

Yeah, I need Creighton to survive. I had Duke in the national semis, so not sure I can survive under huge upset this early on. I have Arizona winning it all over Iowa State so there is still hope, since there are very few brackets favoring the Cyclones in my pool.gut;1594568 wrote:Losing Creighton would definitely hurt me pretty bad, although I think they're probably a pretty popular pick to sail thru to the Elite 8.
Syracuse's 2-3 would of ate OSU up. Ohio state has next to no outside shooting. And nobody to put in the high post who could facilitate.Mulva;1594574 wrote:Have you not watched Syracuse play the past 2 months? Not good enough offensively to roll OSU. Would have been a first to 40 wins type of game.
Exactly. Their zone is a terrible draw for OSU, but 'Cuse has not been playing well.Mulva;1594574 wrote:Have you not watched Syracuse play the past 2 months? Not good enough offensively to roll OSU. Would have been a first to 40 wins type of game.
Syracuse is 3-5 in their past 8 games, and their average margin of victory since February started is 8 points. And that includes a 24 point win yesterday. You do the math on what they've done against legitimate opponents.KB0938;1594578 wrote:Syracuse's 2-3 would of ate OSU up. Ohio state has next to no outside shooting.

That's the tough part. I usually stay away from picking too many of the popular favorites if I can to create some margin of error. Nothing worse than being basically eliminated after the first weekend.reclegend22;1594575 wrote:Yeah, I need Creighton to survive.
