OT: Upset Picks- Give me your input

[aburks41]

Im stuck on a few: (confidence level)
Providence v UNC (51%)
Dayton v Ohio State (51%)
Harvard v Cincy (49%)
Iowa/Tenn v UMass (99%)
Nebraska v Baylor (49%)
New Mexico State v SDSU (10%)
ND State v Oklahoma (10%)
----------------------------------------------------
So far those are the upsets that ive picked. Thoughts?

Anyone see Kentucky pulling a UConn 2012? There are some similarities in the way the seasons have gone -- big preseason hype, uneven all the way through the regular season and then apparently figuring it out in the conference tournament, followed by 8-9 seeding. Getting blown out by Kansas State seems unlikely but probably isn't out of the question.

I see the similarities.

Reason I'm going against it? Hoiberg can coach, Weber cannot.

I'd consider NC State over St. Louis as well, I think ND State over Oklahoma is most likely 5/12 upset because Oklahoma plays no defense and ND State can score. Then again neither team plays much defense.

I have UK losing to Wichita State. I like Wichita's proven senior leadership more than UK going off of potential

Not sure about harvard over cincy. Cincy is a tough team and everyone seems to underestimate them. And dont think New mexico state will upset SDSU at all. Everything else looks pretty good. Love the 99% chance of umass losing lol

Wow. You have too many upsets, I'd say (especially since you aren't counting 7-10 or 8-9 games). You have every 6 seed losing? Has that ever happened? Those two 5-12s could happen, as could that 4-13. But I'd say your bracket is going to be shot with this many upsets.

I think Dayton has a good chance at Sweet16 and with some luck the E8. They are my dark horse. They are a fairly big dog vs. OSU so this is considered a long shot by many.

I do not trust Ohio State or UNC at all.

I think UNC and Cincy could lose but I have them going on to the second round. I don't think Dayton or Nebraska win (or at least that high a chance). I agree with the Iowa/Tenn pick. I actually chose both NMST and ND State to upset.

Oh, that's fair. Neither do I. But if you select all the upsets, when most of them don't happen, both your bracket is busted, and you have no way to brag.
