My 1st round recap:
I nailed Goerge Mason over an over rated Michigan State team, which I am quite happy with becasue nobody was picking George Mason, especially with their best player injured, but I knew that Michigan State was not that good of a team and we're lucky to get the #6 seed. They were the #6 seed in the Big Ten tournament.
I also got Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which was no surprise to me. This is a very good team playing an over rated Oklahoma team coming out of the weak Big 12 conference. I don't think they'll make another appearance in the Sweet 16 like they did last year, however.
I missed on Kent St. over Pittsburgh, but no too upset about that. I was on the fence on that game.
Kansas and Iowa losing really killed me. I had Kansas going to the Final Four and Iowa going to the Elite 8. A shame Iowa couldn't win that game. They are a very dangerous team, but they need to learn how to beat bad teams consistantly. They lost to a bunch of bad teams this season. Kansas is unexplainable. They should have won that game and didn't play well at all.
Overall, I finished 25-7 in the first round which isn't too bad overall.
In the second round some games to look at:
Memphis and Bucknell. Bucknell is under rated, Memphis is over rated. Look for this to be a close game, I think Memphis will come out on top, though.
Gonzaga vs Indiana. Both teams are over rated. Gonzaga hasn't really played anyone all year, Indiana has been inconsistant. I think the Zags pull out this one in a close game.
UCLA vs Alabama. UCLA plays in an terrible Pac-10 conference. Alabama could give them fits.
Washington-Illinois. Which Illinois team will show up? The team that can play with the best in the country or the team that lost to Penn State at home?
Villanova vs Arizona. Arizona shot the lights out on Wisconsin at 60%! That's just crazy shooting. If they shoot like that again, even might Villanova may fall to Arizona.
Overall, it should be an interesting second day with a lot of good games on. Duke is killed GW right now in the early game 40-28.
