The Ultimate UConn Challenge Bracket

[Huskies0514]

Great bracket of the best 64 players in UConn history. This should be fun to watch. Way to go @ADimeBack !!

Oriahki in the bracket? Come on man.

Great idea and fun stuff

 

[ScottBonz]

Can we pin this?

 

[Huskies0514]

Anyone have any sleepers or big upsets?

My final four is (taking huge risks I know):
Caron, Rip, Okafor and Kemba

 

[huskiesnyc]

Johnnie Selvie is a tough 16 seed. Unfortunately for him he drew Kemba first round. My only issue with the draw is Alex Oriakhi. Transfers should not be eligible!

 

[ucjoet]

I know he only played 2 years at UConn because he was a JC transfer, but I would have placed Jimmy Foster ( mid 70's) somewhere in the bracket. Incredibly talented lefty guard. Think he may have been injured a bit his first year at UConn.

 

[UCFBfan]

Kemba's gotta go against Ollie in the second round? Man that's rough....as a player he wins but will fans vote for Ollie based on what he did this year as head coach??? Could be a sleeper upset.

Also, Ben and Emeka in the same bracket? C'Mon man!

My Final Four guess (not what I would choose): Ray Allen, Rip, Emeka, Kemba

My picks: Caron, Okafor, Kemba, and Rip

What do you think about Elite 8?

I'm goin Ray vs Caron, Omeka vs Ben, Kemba vs Khalid, and Rip vs Donyell (although I like Rashad in that bracket pulling the upset)

 

[Jerry1714]

I see Ricky Moore making a deep run, not to the final four but he'll pull some upsets

 

[huskiesnyc]

Where is Hilton Armstrong? A four year player and lottery pick doesn't make the cut, but AO does?

 

[joober jones]

Hilton has to be on there ahead of Johnnie Selvie.

 

[rw005]

Hilton...

still I can't wait to see this when the challenge is completed

 

[OkaForPrez]

K-free is gonna give Ben a run for his money. Shad vs 'Yell is interesting. I might be the only one who votes the Israeli Ice Man over 'Mek.

 

[Husky]

Okafor is #1 in my opinion

 

[FeedTheDove]

So do we base our picks on favorites or bigger impact on UConn history, or the better player? Or a combo of all 3? Lol. Love this idea though, awesome

 

[joober jones]

This beats the NCAA tournament for this year hands down.

 

[Matrim55]

This is fun as hell, and brings back some great memories.

 

[zls44]

I have a Ray, Emeka, Kemba, Rashad Final Four.

 

[Fishy]

I will not participate in an exercise that has Stanley Robinson seeded higher than Rod Sellers and Ricky Moore.

 

[Fishy]

No. Really no. And holy crap, no.

Your bracket is going to look like the office chick's who picks the games based on which mascot is cuter.

 

[mauconnfan]

A couple of intriguing match ups in later rounds for me:

Earl Kelley vs Uncle Cliffy

Tony Hanson vs Donyell Marshall ..............

 

[OkaForPrez]

No. Really no. And holy crap, no.

I don't mind being the crazy librarian. I'm picking my favorite players.

 

[Palatine]

Glad to see Joey Whelton in there. Chris Smith will kill him in the second round but he is way better than Dyson in the first.

 

[RichZ]

The dimeback seeding committee is worse than the NCAA seeding committee.

 

[Inyatkin]

Are people really forgetting how good Donyell Marshall was? Jeez.

 

[UConn3432]

How could anyone not have Ray Allen in the final four? I love Caron but its not even close.
