Upsets count as any team with a 10 or higher seed you have winning. I havent fully finished my bracket but I do have Siena in the sweet 16.

I got way to many. I really need to do some research to eliminate them. Right now:

ODU over ND
Siena over Purdue
GT over OK ST
UTEP over Butler
Murray State over Vandy (and subsequently over UTEP)
Utah St over Texas A&M (and subsequently over Siena)
Saint Mary's over Richmond

I guess that isnt all that many, but it seems like I have a ton in the South and West and none in the Midwest and East.

I really dont find the ODU and Seina wins "upsets", Murrey over Vandy is probably gonna be a common pick.

I predict Texas over Kentucky in round 2.
I mean, I usually am pretty confident in my picks so I dont personally consider them upsets. But Murray State, while I love their team and is a trendy upset pick is still a major upset.

I think the second round upsets are bigger, but he said 10+ seeds. Texas is a solid pick though.

Took Washington over Marquette and Minnestoa over Xavier. Also have Notre Dame and Cornell in the sweet sixteen. That's about it.

Minny over Xavier
UTEP over Butler
Siena over Purdue
Murray St. over Vandy


I haven't fully finished looking over my bracket yet either.. I really want to take St. Mary's over Richmond, but Richmond is legit..

So is Saint Mary's. Omar Samhan is a beast both offensively (20 ppg) and defensively (WCC DPOY)

I think Richmond is a little better, but neither team would surprise me.

Minnesota over Xavier? Thats funny.

21-13, 9-9 in the Big 10. I'm literally sweating because of how nervous I am. Not.

10+ X win.

My biggest upsets/cinderella rides are:

Cornell over Temple (and then over Wisconsin)
Siena over Purdue (and then over Texas A&M)
Washington over Marquette (and then over New Mexico) Pondexter baby!
Murray State over Vandy
Oklahoma State over Ohio State
Georgetown into the Final Four (guess you could consider it an upset)
Xavier in the Elite Eight after knocking off K-State

Still not sure on the Georgetown pick, and am really concentrating on the OSU-Oklahoma State right now. I always like to have a surprise pick no one else goes with, but I'm finding it hard to commit to it.

Minnesota is favored by a point in Vegas, go make some big money if it's that big a lock.

I know 15s hardly ever beat 2s, but if I had to take one this year, I don't hate North Texas's chances against KSU. Obviously there will be more KSU fans in attendance, but OKC is a little less than 3 hours from UNT's campus, and UNT played the Big 12 fairly tough this year. I think this will be a decent game.

I've only filled out 1 bracket so far. Took Siena over Purdue in the non-upset upset. I took ODU over Notre Dame too. I took Oakland over Pitt... don't really expect them to win, but I think X beats Pitt in round 2 anyways and my bracket was a little lacking in upsets.

I love Cornell, and had them penciled as a 1st round upset since December, but I think Temple is just about the worst possible match up for them. Temple thrives at nullifying what Cornell lives on (the 3 ball). I just don't see them winning that one.

Oakland over Pittsburgh is the lowest seed I have potentially advancing.

I honestly haven't seen Oakland.. One of only the few teams I haven't seen from this tourney, are they really good enough to upset a good Pitt team?

Oakland got destroyed by all the big schools they played. It obviously helped them against the other mid majors they played but they couldn't come close to any of the big guys.

Oakland plays a murderous non-league schedule every year and Coach Kampe has done great things up there for a long time. Pittsburgh is a good team and so is Oakland. I don't think I could pick Oakland if it was a matter of life and death, but the game will be very competitive. Probably this contest is as good an upset pick as any.

Crap...my whole Duke region is one massive mess of upsets in both my brackets. In the next day, I really have to look at what I'm doing there and figure out if I really believe every high seed there sucks and/or is THAT susceptible to being upset or if I'm just getting carried away.

Outside of that region, my brackets seem disturbingly conservative with next-to-no seeds lower than #10 getting out of the first round. That bothers me...having three by-the-books regions and one total chaos region.

Probably not. I just don't personally think Pitt is that good. I think they've been playing above their heads all season, and they don't have the talent to make up for having an "off game", which they are certainly capable of having.

Pitt has overachieved this season. None of their inside players have any post moves so only the guards can create offense.
