I had a feeling about that one too, but wasn't that a 1-16 game?

I picked Richmond over Vandy this year. Let's see how that turns out for me.

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

I pick a lot of 5/12 upsets and usually toss in a 4/13 for good measure. I've got Belmont over Wisconsin this year, Belmont is a good team and Wisconsin is coming off a major let down against Penn State.

I've hit on Cleveland State over Wake Forest a few years ago as well as a Siena win a few years back.

That Cleveland State upset killed me. I had Wake Forest in the Final Four. Poor Dino Gaudio, one of my favorite guys in all of college basketball.

Easily this year as Ive got #14 Bucknell knocking off #3 UConn, #13 Belmont over #4 Wisconsin and then a few 12/5 upsets.

Whoa Bucknell over UConn.... Haven't heard that one thrown around a lot....
I've seen Bucknell and I think they're going to give UConn a game. Muscala is a talented player down low.

I've got #15 Akron knocking off #2 Notre Dame this year.

Almost had Winthrop over Tennessee too. Best one I ever got was Cleveland State over Wake Forest, and I have Long Island over UNC, Oakland over Texas, Utah State over Kansas State, and Richmond over Vanderbilt.

I know Belmont is a streaky pick, but I feel with the way Wisconsin plays they are one of the hardest teams to upset.

Akron over Notre Dame?
Long Island over UNC?

NO WAY!!!



I'll tell you the real upset of the tournament and the greatest in tournament history.

16 UNC-Asheville over 1 Pitt

Dead serious, I actually picked that in my final bracket. I think it could happen.

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

Last year, i had #14 Ohio over #3 Georgetown so that was probably my biggest upset pick thus far.

I have #14 Wofford over #3 BYU as my biggest upset this year.

Back in the day I got a bunch of upsets right, mainly because I picked Valpo and Gonzaga because I thought their name sounded cool. I had Valpo in the Elite 8 the year they made it to the Sweet 16 and lost to Rhode Island.

Recently, I've gotten a ton of the 5/12 upsets right, and the occational 4/13.

If a 1 seed is going to lose its Ohio State, just because Gus Johnson is announcing.

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

SO MANY people in the private pool I'm in have Belmont over Wisconsin.
No way.


My biggest is richmond over vandy.

I also have Utah State over KState.

Nah no way. Have you seen UTSA and Alabama State? They're horrible.

UNC-Asheville is actually a decent 16 seed with talent. Pittsburgh of course has the least talent of the 1 seeds. I really hope the Bulldogs can do the unthinkable.

I know Belmont is a streaky pick, but I feel with the way Wisconsin plays they are one of the hardest teams to upset.

True but Belmont is a very good shooting team that have a lot of scoring options, so even if one of their main guys doesn't show up they have enough fire power to get by. I view this game much like the Cornell/Wisconsin game last year, good shooting team to beat a typical Big Ten team who plays strong D but can have problems scoring.

A lot of people have it for good reason.

Richmond over Vandy barely even feels like an upset to me, I have that as well.

I don't trust Utah State they seem to lay an egg every year in the dance.
