Pretty wide open this year imo, I like BYU and San Diego State but Duke knows how to win and a number of Big East teams have the potential to upset things.

This might be the worst tournament analysis I've ever seen.

I laughed at the two teams you like. I cant see either team escaping the second round, and BYU will be lucky to even get to the second round.



I filled out two pools at $25 a pop. Duke beating K State in the one, and Duke beating Pitt in the other. Although I'm a rabid Blue Devil hater since the Fab Five days, i just view their stellar defense as the reason to side with them this year. Good luck to everyone!!

I was looking for a couple longshots, I am a longtime Duke fan but repeating is hard, BYU is one of those teams who could lose in the first round or go deep into the tourney, San Diego State has flown under the radar all year, they could surprise a lot of folks. As I said, several Big East teams are capable of catching fire.

BYU is a one trick pony now that Davies decided to smash his way off the team. The interior of that team is a joke at best now. I also feel that SD St. lucked out with the 2 seed. They might get lucky and sneak into the 3rd round only to get their doors blown off by UConn. Best of luck to you though.

On a neutral court, it's tough to see a way BYU can get out of the first weekend. The altitude and the obvious homecourt advantage will be a big help though.

Still sour that six seeded St. John's has to travel further than all but four other schools in the tournament. Cincinnati could have - and should have - been sent to Denver instead of the Johnnies.

You should donate your money to the people of Japan instead. It would be better spent

This is why I bet this way. I have lost about 15 games in my bracket but everyone of these is alive. How does the furthest big east bet look with Pitt who I said SUCKS being out?
