    Yeah Minnesota/UCLA or Oregon/Okie State seemed to be the two obvious choices.

        In hindsight if I was to ever pick a 15 over 2, Florida Gulf Coast was the one. I knew Florida Gulf Coast scored a lot, I knew Georgetown could struggle the score, I forgot that Georgetown had lost the last 3 years in the 1st round prior to the game and I forgot that FGCU beat Miami; albeit with Miami missing a player or two. But that was absolutely the one to do in hindsight.

          UCLA should be happy they lost. Now they don't have to wear those abortions Adidas called jerseys.

              Florida's size is a big advantage inside. Even though Minnesota is undersized. They rebound really well.

              I think Florida handles them though.

                You should handle them. But they are streaky and can go on runs where they create turnovers and score off them. If you force them into a half court game, they will stand around a lot and go cold.

                    Well I'm beating a random number generator, so can't complain too much (my RNG bracket got ever elite 8 and forward team wrong, granted it picked Akron vs. NC State in one final four game, and Missouri vs. Wisconsin in the other). The Four factors bracket has the West Sweet 16 match-ups and beyond still safe, so happy it didn't totally tank.

                    Really enjoyed that Florida Gulf Coast game though I missed some of it, really want to watch their game against San Diego State now as they looked like a fun team to watch. Missed quite a few of the other games sadly, would of liked to catch the Wisconsin game especially.

                      Looking at the bracket I like it with GT out, but for some reason Minny is scaring me. I hope it's nothing to worry about...

                        They did beat Indiana, so they can put together a game. But the B1G was really confusing this year, so there's that too.

                          I had Minnesota beating UCLA. Minnesota was criminally under-seeded if you look at their Kenpom numbers. However, so was Florida, so I think Florida will win.

                          Georgetown was severely over-seeded; I didn't have them in the Sweet 16. So far my only two Sweet 16 losses are Wisconsin and New Mexico; I'm fine with that.
                          NFL: Indianapolis Colts (12-6)
                          NBA: Indiana Pacers (42-13)
                          MLB: Cincinnati Reds (0-0)
                          NHL: Detroit Red Wings (26-20-12)
                          NCAA: Purdue Boilermakers (FB: 1-11, BB: 15-12), Michigan Wolverines (FB: 7-6, BB: 19-7, H: 15-10-3)

                            Still upset with Davidson game. Sitting in 20th, but had Davidson getting to sweet 16 to play Miami. Did have San Diego State winning against Georgetown, so hopefully they can get by FGC. Minnesota and UNC getting to Elite 8 would be pretty handy for my bracket.

                                Minnesota/UCLA was, I saw several computer rankings with Minnesota ahead of UCLA (and the 20-point win only made that clearer). Doesn't get easier than when the seeds are backwards. Made it all too easy. Oregon wasn't ahead of Oklahoma State, but it seemed clear they were going to win. Similar with Cal and UNLV. Location and the, for some reason, low seeding made it an easier decision to take the "upset". Doesn't usually seem this common.
