    What's the biggest first round upset you ever picked in your bracket?

    For me, I've picked a couple of 4-13 upsets before but nothing more.

    13 Vermont over 4 Syracuse in 2005 and 13 San Diego over 4 UConn in 2008.

    I rarely ever pick 14's or 15's but I'm like 0-10 when I did.

    Almost got 15 Winthrop over 2 Tennessee in 2006, but Winthrop blew it in the final minute and Lofton hit his go ahead jumper.

    I had VCU over Duke a few years ago. Cant remember what Duke's seed was, but i know they should not have lost that game.

      I believe that a 6-11 game.
      Maynor owned Paulus on that jumper.

        If it was 6-11 then it wasnt a very big upset.

              Princeton over the Bruins. Don't recall the seeds. I think it was 3/14.

                Same. Wisconsin is very mediocre when not at home. Oakland over Texas would not surprise me even though I expect Texas to win. LIU scares me a little bit too, even though UNC has no business losing to them, especially since it is basically a home game.

                  North Dakota State over Kansas (3/14 matchup) a few years ago.

                    Northwestern State (14) over Iowa (3). Back when the hawkeyes were relevent.

                      The biggest upset I predicted correctly was (13) Murray State over (4) Vanderbilt last year.

                      The biggest upset I predicted period was (14) North Dakota State over (3) Kansas...close, but no cigar.

                        That LIU-UNC game will be over with at the 10 minute mark of the 1st half.

                        LIU has a lot of freshmen and sophomores and I expect them to win the NEC for the next couple of years. I don't think they'll ever be able to beat a top dog like UNC, but hopefully they can get better, win some good OOC games in the next couple of years and get up to maybe a 13 or 14 seed where they might get fortunate to get a team they can beat.

                        Ah, I'd go nuts if an NEC school ever won an NCAA Tournament game. It'd be a collosal upset.

                          (14) Bucknell over (3) Kansas in 2005.

                            I remember picking NDSU over Kansas too. Ben Woodside was a great player and NDSU hung around for awhile that game.

                            I remember picking Xavier over Ohio St. back in 2007. I thought I looked really smart.. until it unfortunately went into OT thanks to Ron Lewis.

                            I remember thinking Belmont was going to give Duke a game, but never did I actually think they'd be close to winning.

                              I incorrectly picked Conn. St to win against Ohio State in 07
