2nd round of the NCAA tournament

Because of my shitty internet connection I have to result to doing this earlier than I wanted to...at the rec center no less. Here we go...

MIDWEST

1. Kansas

9. Northern Iowa

*Got the UNLV pick wrong...I haven't had a good day so far, but I'm still confident in KU to win it all.

5. Michigan St.

4. Maryland

*Neither of these teams has won their opening day game yet, so I'll stick to my original pick.

6. Tennessee

14. Ohio

*Tennessee is losing against San Diego St. right now, so hopefully they make it this far. BTW I KNEW GEORGETOWN COUDN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

7. Oklahoma St.

2. Ohio St.

*Georgia Tech could easily be the one losing to Ohio St. later this weekend.

WEST

1. Syracuse

8. Gonzaga

*"Orange spit seed"...yes that was an ESPN headline.

5. Butler

13. Murray St.

*poor, poor Vandy...I like Butler to continue their winning streak.

6. Xavier

3. Pittsburgh

*I have the Panthers winning through and through...but I hate it. hopefully X doesn't lose to the land of 10,000 lakes.

7. BYU

2. Kansas St.

*YAY I GOT THIS ONE RIGHT!!! Hopefully I can continue the trend.

EAST

1. Kentucky

8. Texas

*The dominate performance of Kentucky is helping me keep faith.

5. Temple

4. Wisconsin

*Neither team has played yet...I hope Cornell doesn't continue the upset trend against Temple.

11. Washington

3. New Mexico

*Marquette losing really hurt my bracket...damn buzzer beaters/last second shots are killing me. I'll take the Huskies, they're on a roll. (That's what I said about Notre Dame)

10. Missouri

2. West Virginia

*I'm confident both these teams will make it to the second round, I'm almost too confident about this Tiger team though...this made me think for a while.

SOUTH

1. Duke

9. Louisville

*I hope Louisville makes it, the Pac 10 may have been better than I thought...nawwww

5. Texas A&M

4. Purdue

*You can take this to the bank...even if Sienna upsets Purdue, IT COULD HAPPEN!

11. Old Dominion

3. Baylor

*I almost pick OD to win, but Notre Dame was too appealing...Baylor still has it.

10. St. Mary's

2. Villanova

*I want to pick St. Mary's to win this game after they killed Richmond...but gotta stick to the original bracket.

1st Round of the NCAA Tournament

I'll get my first round picks in today and second round later in the week. My winner is highlighted in Bold.

MIDWEST

1. Kansas

16. Lehigh

***This is the easiest pick of all time. Jay Hawks roll.

8. UNLV

9. Northern Iowa

***Northern Iowa hasn't beaten anyone worth noting this season and don't have many dominating victories. UNLV split vs New Mexico and BYU this season.

5. Michigan St.

12. New Mexico St.

***Michigan St. hasn't had a bad loss all year...unless you count North Carolina at the beginning of the year.

4. Maryland

13. Houston

***Houston barely made the tournament and Maryland was 13 and 4 in the ACC this year.

6. Tennessee

11. San Diego St.

***Tennessee beat both Kansas and Kentucky this year, they are very off and on, but I think they'll pull this one off.

3. Georgetown

14. Ohio

***These games are just easy.

7. Oklahoma St.

10. Georgia Tech

***Georgia Tech had a really good tournament, but it won't save them against the Big 12.

2. Ohio St.

15. UCSB

***Ohio St. will have a strong tournament after their dominating performance in the Big 10.

---Got out of the Midwest with no surprises in the first round.

WEST

1. Syracuse

16. Vermont

***This bracket is gonna be tough...

8. Gonzaga

9. Florida St.

***I feel Gonzaga should have been a higher seed.

5. Butler

12. UTEP

***UTEP has a lot of wins, but none of them are verse anybody good.

4. Vanderbilt

13. Murray St.

***Vandy is in store for a solid tourney.

6. Xavier

11. Minnesota

***Neither team is going anywhere, but Minnesota just hasn't showed enough after a nice Big 10 tournament run.

3. Pittsburgh

14. Oakland

***Pitt is usually overrated, but they can't screw this up.

7. BYU

10. Florida

***In my opinion BYU got screwed with this seed.

2. Kansas St.

15. North Texas

***See you in the elite 8, K-state!

EAST

1. Kentucky

16. E. Tennessee St.

***Kentucky fans need to have fun this year, bc Wall and Cousins are gone in a few weeks.

8. Texas

9. Wake Forest

***Sorry, I'm not picking Wake to go all the way again. I have a feeling Texas could beat Kentucky...

5. Temple

12. Cornell

***Sorry Andy Bernard...

4. Wisconsin

13. Wofford

***This bracket is strange.

6. Marquette

11. Washington

***I refuse to pick a Pac 10 team to win.

3. New Mexico

14. Montana

***I can't believe New Mexico is a 3 seed!!! HOW!?!?

7. Clemson

10. Missouri

***Tigers vs. Tigers...I'm trying not to be biased, but Mizzou got screwed!

2. West Virginia

15. Morgan St.

***West Virginia better watch out for Mizzou in the second round.

SOUTH

1. Duke

16. Arkansas Pine-Bluff/Winthrop

***Give the play-in game to Ark PB.

8. California

9. Louisville

***Like I said no Pac 10 wins.

5. Texas A&M

12. Utah St.

***Texas A&M is a lock for the sweet 16...make your bets!

4. Purdue

13. Siena

***Purdue will barely scrape out of this one.

6. Notre Dame

11. Old Dominion

***This bracket sucks. How does ND get a 6 seed, while Texas gets an 8 and Missouri gets a 10?

3. Baylor

14. Sam Houston St.

***Big 12 all the way...btw did I mention this bracket sucks.

7. Richmond

10. St. Mary's

***This will be a good game, but the Spiders will come out on top...but Richmond a 7? THIS BRACKET SUCKS!

2. Villanova

15. Robert Morris

***Easy call...

---Whatever, call me bland for only picking two upsets...if you can even call a 9 over 8 and 10 over 7 as an upset...but I'm trying to make some money.
