If you make 4 correct picks (OTHER than all 4 favorites) you win a prize.
(if there are multiple correct entries, a blind drawing will be used to determine the winner)

Nice basketball night.

I will pick Baylor and Florida State as overwhelming favorites. > 15 pt spreads at home.

As underdogs, I will go UCLA (not convinced Stanford can play really athletic teams) and of course, Louisville over
ND ( for sentimental reasons of course).

I think the higher ranked team wins each of these, so I'm going with FSU, Notre Dame, Baylor, and Stanford.

Having said that, I would not be stunned if Louisville or UCLA pull off the upset tonight. The UCLA-Stamford game in particular seems pretty darned close to being a pick'em.

Going with the favorites, Stanford peaking, an underrated ND, so loaded they keep starters on the bench. However, upsets would be great, Louisville finding another gear, Miami coming out of their shoes, but the numbers don't lie.

And 3 of those games are on national TV! What a great night for WCBB. I guess they thought no one would bother to watch "real sports" after the Superbowl....

Fun.

@ Florida St, @ Notre Dame, @ Baylor, so I think they can hold court.

I'll go with UCLA for an upset.

You mean the Louisville with the potent offense that lost their last game out to NC State. :rolleyes:
Yeah that potent offense (it was really offensive to me).Help me JavaMan as I too want to put emojis on my post but every time I try it, they don't appear. What am I doing wrong? Like now I tried the yellow smirk

I agree with 3 out of 4---I think Miami will take FSU. ND has not been playing ND ball--but I think LULLYville
will be the challenge ND needs. Baylor--nuff sed, Stanford--they have the talent--

No Upsets tonight. The only reasonable upset pick is UCLA over Stanford. The second Louisville over Notre Dame. However Louisville is more inconsistent then Notre Dame.

Louisville and UCLA would be helped tremendously if they do pull off the upset. Lose and they may not host tournament games.

While ND is not setting the basketball world on fire lately, they are still a tough nut to crack, especially at home. ND can be beat, but it will take a Herculean effort by Louisville with a minimum amount of turnovers and fouls.
If LV can control Turner in the paint (keep her off the offensive & defensive boards, hold her to single digit scoring), they can be successful tonight. The Irish are not disciplined or patient on offense. Ball rotation usually stops once Arike Ogunbowale gets it. She can create her own shot, and will jack it up, or put it on the floor from anywhere on the court. All of this is dependent on which LV team shows up to play tonight. They are not as consistent as they should be.

Ucla 3point shooting has been bad for awhile. Makes them easier to defend. Tara said Geno aint catching me for a bit.
