I expect Michigan to win the B1G championship.    

 

I'll be rooting for Northwestern over Wisconsin in the other semi.  Whoever wins, I doubt they can beat the red hot Wolverines.

I think their flight mishap has them well motivated. Pretty impressive.

You could say they're now well grounded.  As a Spartan, it's difficult to root for the Wolverines, but their play is inspired and their story is inspiring.

Yep....they kicked the crap out of Wisconsin. They're on a roll.

I was looking for a bracket we could post, but haven't found one yet.  WVU is in the West bracket but plays in Buffalo.  Odd.

They will have Bucknell, Notre Dame and then Gonzaga.

 

If the Mountaineers can get by Notre Dame I think they can take out the Zags.  They have played a number one team 2 or 3 times this year and beat them, so they fear no one.

The fillable bracket is available at:

I plan to post one filled out with my heart and one filled out from my head.

 

You'll be wrong on both. 

 

Didn't you know the odds of filling out a perfect bracket are the same as if you were a billionaire, married a supermodel AND became president of the United States?  :lol:

 

Oh, wait...:unsure:

Of course.

Non-sequitur:  Even though I wrote my hilliariously funny retort a minute ago, the forum software reported I wrote it 3 hours ago.

 

Just an example of more stuff I don't understand.

Oh wow, thanks!

 

I have no plans to travel to see them at the moment, but if that changes I would definitely take you up on that offer.

Last year the Spartans, as a 2 seed, losing to Middle Tennessee State, a 15 seed, destroyed 99.9% of brackets.  Only the most diehard Blue Raiders fans (or idiots) would have predicted that upset in the first round.

 

I don't see a similar upset this year.  The 2 vs.15 matchups are:

 

Duke vs. Troy;

Arizona vs. North Dakota;

Louisville vs. Jacksonville State; and

Kentucky vs. Northern Kentucky.

 

Pick against the 2 seeds at your peril.

This year Middle Tennesee is a 12 seed playing Minnesota, a 5 seed, in the first round.  It would not surprise me if the Blue Raiders got by the Gophers.

 

Last year Middle Tennessee was underrated as a 15 seed and MSU was overrated as a 2 seed.

Syracuse is not going to the prom. Instead, they are going to the sock hop (NIT).

Still first half, but the worst #1 ever Zags struggling with #16 South Dakota State.

 

Could this be the first time in NCAA history a #16 beats a #1?

My Mountaineers are up in 15 minutes vs Bucknell.
