Going into the tournament, how far will UConn go?

[August_West]

Your comparing yourself to Stallone hahaha… nope! Uconn will be lucky to make it to second round and Arkansas will smoke em if they do! National Champions, you’re delusional!! Amirite…

You don’t get credit on this board for picking us to lose tourney games. No matter what.

And yes I’m like Stallone, but with better looks and way less chiseled.

12 over 5 is always a sexy pick because of the numbers. I usually pick two or three 12s in the first round depending on the pool; one pool gives you more points for upsets and historically 12 is where the odds improve dramatically.

I miss my 5/12 calls consistently. I would be better taking the chalk through the first set of games but every year I think “this is the year I’m going to get them right.”

This is great. "Everyone in the Big East is scared to play Providence in the BET." Providence promptly loses by a thousand.

The pool I play most regularly gives you bonus points for the seed differential. So you get seven bonus points if you correctly choose a 12 over a 5. I think I got all three of them in 2019, which gave me a pretty nice bump.

Both Providence and Uconn went 1-1 in the BET… last time Providence got smoked ( by Marquette) we went on a run! also keep in mind we destroyed Creighton by 21 ( let up at one point we were up by 28) and they beat us by 27, so what…good luck getting past New Mexico State!!

Don’t want credit but you really think you’re winning it all, really? Hurley Can’t handle the pressure and is your weakest link, dudes an infant and nobody here can deny that fact… he loses it too quickly… will be your downfall!

 

[huskiesNhoos]

How everyone is not picking National Champion is mind boggling. My world has been shattered this week between this and seeing all the UConn fans at MSG sitting on their duffs to start the games. I feel like Sylvester Stallone in demolition man coming out of Cryo-Penitentiary and seeing what the world has become.

I’ve got the 3 shells

Advance to sweet sixteen: 43.1%
Advance to elite eight : 9.2%
Advance to final four : 3.6%
Advance to finals: 1.3%
National Champs: 0.5%

Most likely to win tournament

Gonzaga 30.2%
Auburn 11.2%
Arizona 10.8%
Kentucky 8.3%
Kansas 8%

Those odds for Gonzaga seem shockingly high. I wonder where those odds stand in comparison to favorites of past tournaments.

Tough team to gauge. They could be a dark horse to the FF, they could go down in flames against NMSU in a typical 12 over 5 upset, and everything in between. They have a boatload of potential, tons, but they need to be engaged for a full 40 minutes and get on a roll. Play like they did vs Nova in game 2 or Auburn and the Rbacks and Zags better be careful, play like they did in Nova game 1 or WVU and Zags will steam roll them, if Arkansas doesn't. This is a tough 12/5 matchup, but thankfully they did not get Richmond, Michigan or VTech which was what I was afriad of prior to the bracket being announced. But goodness they have tons of potential, that can't be over stated or stated enough, hope they can live up to it.

Covered it all!

I personally don’t think it is, but if I were him I would be. At least friar already is wary. He’s been here before. Willbball I think is first time around block trying to unhook a bra at a 7th grade party.

Gonzaga is just that much better than every other team this year

From another pay site:

Gonzaga 26.5%
Arizona 12.2%
Kansas 7.9%
Kentucky 6.8%
Auburn 6.4%

They are beatable but it would take UConn’s most complete game played this year and would need the bench to step up

We can beat them, and I don’t say that lightly.

Just thank god we didn’t get a play in winner because then we wouldn’t have the chance to take care of Gonzaga

Nice. I think I’m like 0 for, well, for forever on my 5/12s, but like a delicious stack of buffalo wings the sirens call to try again every year is irresistible
