NCAA upset thread

[Bravesfan]

Well, as my bracket has already been damaged, I thought I would start a discussion on what could be another very upset filled tournament.

We already had Morehead St with the big 13/4 upset of Louisville, a team that lost in the Big East championship game to UConn. Maybe this will get the BCS contigient on the side of deemphasising conference tournaments in regard to using them for the automatic bid.

We now have Kentucky up 2 over Princeton with less than two seconds left. Time for another Pete Carril like miracle shot ala 1997?

Nope! Kentucky survives (and my bracket) 59-57. Still though, I have only one word for this year's SEC conference:

OVERRATED!!!

Two questions.

1) Has anybody else's CBS been out all day? I have direct TV and no CBS signal is working all day. So I don't get those games and they don't even switch to the ending on most channels, just say it is on CBS.

2) Can Sydney just swing through Peoria on his way back, or is someone going to meet him outside the stadium for his interview?

Welcome to the new format LC. Though I don't think CBS was supposed to be out. It's fine on my cable system at home.

The reason for no endings is that you now have four stations to choose from. Just change the channel to the game you want, and there it will be. Problematic for those who don't have cable, but there still is March Madness on Demand for those with high speed internet.

All the lower seeds have won, so far, except for the #13 Morehead upset over #4 Louisville.

However, #12 seed Richmond is leading late over #5 seed Vanderbilt

Oh, I don't know Bravesfan. Most people I talk to think this is a down year for that conference. That being said though, Florida may be the most over rated seed in history.

not sure i agree with that statement..... outside of 3-5 games Florida has been pretty consistent. I've been a Bradley fan for a long time as well as a gator fan, no band wagon here either. anyways lets find a coach to take us to that level someday.

We'll see how florida ends up....a 2 seed that ended up ranked 15 is kind of weird though

[Bravesfan]

So far two big upsets today, but not the two I picked. I was debating about picking Richmond, but that could have gone either way, as it turned out. Maybe I should have picked one of the teams no one had winning like Morehead St., but thinking they weren't even the best regular season team out of the Ohio Valley, I figured why take the chance. Ooops!

Now hopefully we get some upsets here in the final four games, as I have all lower seeds chosen. Hopefully these will come through as my Belmont upset pick laid an egg. I did not expect Wisconsin to score over 70 in this game, especially after the way they performed against Penn St. last week!

yeah that is kinda weird.... dont really see too many teams until pitt that could beat them..... but then again that is why they play the game

According to the Direct TV person I talked to this afternoon there were some issues with Channel 43 which also affected Channel 31. It's been corrected as I just watched Jimmer lead BYU to victory over Wofford.
