(Men's) Higher seeds dropping like flies

[Husky fanatic]

With 10 of the higher seeds losing on the men’s side in round 1. What’s your prediction on the women’s side?

I think 4

Not at likely. Still a big gap between the top 10 and 54 to 64, even top 20 and 44 to 64.

After Oral Roberts (15) beat Ohio State (2) yesterday, there were 108 accurate brackets left in ESPN.com's pool of 14 million brackets.

I think there could be a few shocks in the second round, but wouldn't expect any high seeds to lose first round honestly.

There aren't any now. The lone leader is a woman who got 31 of 32.

5-12 6-11, 7-10. and 8-9 are the usual ones to watch closely for upsets with the women. Seed the 16th team (worst 4 seed) is rarely beaten by the 49th team (best 13 seed.) Even with a wacky year, I don't think we see it.

Wikipedia has the records 15 over a 2, never happened, 16-1 happened once with an injury depleted Stanford, 14-3 6 times.

So far no one predicts 100% of the ESPN Men's tournament. The best score is 340 of 360.

Why have on a mask if you’re going to pull it down every time you want/need to yell instructions to your team? Most of them also pull it down during time outs. Again, why have it on? Geno does it too.

Exactly!

I think the idea is that they keep it on in close conversation (ie, <6 feet), but then pull it down when yelling out on the court when the players are further away.

Higher seeds are 14-0 so far, right? Even the 8s are beating the 9s in the toss-up games.

The players are all over each other the whole game without masks. Same with football.
