Harvard-New Mexico

[Ts5034]

Didnt see this coming. This will screw up a lot of brackets.

 

[UConnJim]

You just jinxed Harvard

I had New Mexico winning it all lol, theres still time though

 

[GlastonTim]

Hope you didn't just jinx them by starting this thread, Go Harvard.

 

[TheRogers]

I have Harvard winning in Rnd 1.....and we get additional points for upsets in the pool I''m in....

 

[storrsroars]

The couple of times I saw Snell, thought the guy was pretty good. Sweet stroke, nice outside shot, not afraid to slash. Not doing a ton tonight though.

Certain bracket killer for me if Lobos go down.

 

[Ts5034]

The west is the weakest region and its not even close. I think its wide open and with a Harvard win it will get really interesting. I would love it if we were in this bracket

For the sake of my brackets, I sure hope he screwed the upset up

Ohio St given a gift.

Not sure why people thought New Mexico was going to the Final 4. I wasn't that impressed with them when we played them.

If Elizabeth Lambert were playing, they'd win.

I used my heart over my brain which I often do when I make my picks since Uconn isnt in it I'm not taking it seriously

I picked Gonzaga in my bracket but I really wish i took Arizona instead

 

[Adios]

The allure of the Ivy League to some recruits gets underestimated.

 

[GlastonTim]

Let's not blow it now Harvard.

I had New Mexico losing to Arizona 2nd round.

I think Ohio State or Wisconsin was the easy pick from that region. Gonzaga and New Mexico will be childs play compared to playing Indiana, Michigan, and Michigan State.

 

[ASweet3781]

Montana has 19 pts over 29 minutes into the game. That's why I always get scared Syracuse may make a run. 80% of todays players piss their pants when confronted with a zone defense.

 

[storrsroars]

Toast.

 

[Adios]

Only Colorado State still alive from the MWC. At the expense of our beloved mumu Alex Oriakhi.

We played NM and lost, while I like our team at the time we had no idea. Now we know we would have kicked their a** given another chance and I believed it going into the tourney. I had them nipping Harvard and then losing........this was possible as UNM just isn't that good and Harvard wasn't that bad!!

And we beat Harvard.

At the time we lost to New Mexico I thought we lost because we were dead tired, we had a short turnaround after our Germany trip and making the finals of that tournament. I wasn't impressed with New Mexico at the time but when filling out my brackets I thought the West region sucked so much that they had as good a chance as anyone. Turns out I was an idiot, New Mexico looked like one of the slowest mid major squads you will ever see, props to Harvard for winning but the Lobos looked like one of the most plodding unathletic teams you will ever see, that's just such a crappy 3 seed.

Because SOMEBODY has to win that bracket, and with a 1 seed that almost lost to a 16, a laughably weak 2, and two of the biggest March choke artists in Pitt and Wisconsin, who did you expect to make it?

 

[mauconnfan]

The whole seeding aspect this year seems ridiculous.......beginning with a play in game which featured 2 teams playing for 11 seeds? How can you play for 11 seeds because then you're telling me there's 2 teams who should've been picked before all of the 12 seeds you chose?

And many of the 13-16's look mismanaged too.........actually there may have been a team like Southern with a 13 or 14, who may have been able to won a game rather than facing a #1 right away.......

Marquette as a 3 tells me the whole tourney is weak or they just didn't do a good job!!!

 

[NHUConnfan]

I honestly think UNM was one of the best teams in the country. But their loss is their second loss in the second round of the tournament as a 3 seed against the 11 seed Washington just tells me that UNM is not a good tournament team. I think that's what it comes down too. I've been burned by them twice. Now I'm fairly certain I won't pick them to go far again until they get a new coach.

 

[BearJWS]

The Mountain West was extremely over rated this year.
New Mexico upset. UNLV Upset. Colorado State did beat an underachieving Missouri.
Boise State lost to LaSalle in a play in game. Next up San Diego State versus Oklahoma.
They could be 1-4 in the opening round, when all is said & done.

Loved seeing Havard win though.
