Disagree with you on Charleston upsetting SDSU. Why? 1. SDSU is more battle tested and more experienced and perhaps more motivated than Charleston. 2. Charleston has not faced a defense like San Diego State before while San Diego State has faced an offense like Charleston before (e.g. New Mexico and Utah State and Arizona). 3. The MWC conference is much tougher than the CAA conference. 4. Charleston might be well rested but they could also be rusty against a defense like SDSU. Yes, Charleston is a strong team but I do not see them beating SDSU on Thursday. I have SDSU beating Charleston by at least a point. In fact, Furman has a better chance of upsetting Virginia than Charleston has a better chance of upsetting SDSU.
True. I saw an SDSU game for the champion game against Utah state and they looked really big and buff players. They are also super deep with starter like players as well. I think the bench almost scored or scored more than the starting line up. I also look at the statistics and their defensive and offensive rankings are really good. I like the buff back up center that comes in, looks unstoppable
My sleeper is Texas A&M because that's my university lol. Always gotta have a bias for your own team. Especially since we've been up and killing it lately.
I understand having bias for your school/team, but I think Penn State is going to pull that one out if they can hit their 3's. Should be a good close game though!
just curious, if creighton did beat baylor, what do you take their chances against arizona? watching arizona this season (i’m a ucla fan) their bigs are very good but guard play is spotty and when they can’t get rebounds and high-low action they can get in trouble. i think kalkbrenner and the creighton guards could give them some serious issues which is why i have creighton going to the elite 8 before losing to bama - what do you think?
@@exavierposey3491 true but i agree with dalton, as a pac-12 fan i know that that game was definitely an anomaly for ballo and i’m not sure if they played again that he’d have such a dominant performance again
true, that said i think if they come up against a team with athletic perimeter defense that can lock up abmas they will be in serious trouble they also don’t really have interior defense besides vanover so they’ll struggle against duke
Alr hear me out: I think it’s obvious that Creighton makes it past a weak ACC team like Nc state. I just don’t see anybody on Baylor that can really stick with Kalkbrenner and what all the big stories are in March have great centers. Guys like Kaluma as well are great. I say Creighton beats Baylor. Also if any team goes out early as a 3 seed it’s going to be Kansas st against a very good and streaky Montana state team.
These matchups are different than other years. I’m finding it harder to find clear picks. You could usually predict the 5-12 upsets these 5-12’s the gap is closing. Same as 11/6. Providence/ Kentucky? Same story.
Gotta disagree with Houston pick (Texas fan) lol but Houston just hasn’t played that tough of a schedule. I think it comes down to if timmie Allen is fully healthy or not. But overall I like the bracket
But we have been easily sweeping by the teams. We had a fluke loss against Temple, lost to Alabama, and lost to an underrated Memphis team without our best player
It’s all opinion based but man idk how you have Kentucky in the final 4.. it’s not like those 11 losses came only at the beginning. Idk if that team can string together 4 wins in a row.. they couldn’t even match up against Vandy in their 2 games this past week
This whole tournament is gonna be whack. I won’t even be surprised if Drake makes a Sweet 16 or Elite 8. There are so many overrated and underrated teams in this bracket. UC Santa Barbara is a team that excites me too. Florida Atlantic and Memphis are both teams I’d pick as Cinderella’s, so it’s a shame they play in the first round
A couple picks you didn't make--Drake over Miami. Drake is one of the oldest schools in the tournament (think Loyola-Chicago last year) and has a great tradition in athletics. I don't think Houston is going to make it. That Iowa game is going to go down to the final 2 minutes and they don't make it to Houston.
Arkansas vs Illinois is the matchup of two teams that don’t know how to win. So as a Hogs fan I’ll probably have an aneurysm. Especially if they have a halftime lead.
You say you like Sir Jabari Rice, but you don't like Texas! Well, we know WVU is tough at home and so is Texas. Was Memphis a fluke taking down Houston, or was it just a ba ay for cougars/ Texas is better than Memphis in my opinion - why don't you think they can't get up to beat Houston? The game will be close and could be an OT game. I agree on Marquette, they move the ball so good - great passing team.
I like all 12s over the 5 except miami, Jamie Dixon looks like a weasel I didn't like him when coached Pitt either. I know UCLA has injury but UCLA defense is why love them
@@mbdg6810 sorry but both of them won’t win, Charleston has never beat a team that’s top 200 in defense and sdsu has one of the best in the nation and have a bunch of 5th year senior experienced guys
Kansas State has beat Kentucky in March Madness before, they WILL beat them again. You picked the wrong WILDCATS. I take it you don't watch much Big 12. DUDE TCU will not lose in the first round. lol
@@liammurphy9861 underrated. Teams in their region are overrated. Arizona can't defend. Alabama just doesn't scare me one bit I think they're overrated too. I like for Baylor to get hot. That's the beauty of March. Play your best ball for a 4 game stretch and you're into the final 4. I'm sure you said the same about many of teams years back that made the Final 4.

Agree SDSU wins and I like furman over Virginia no one likes SDSU but they are really good
Furman isn't winning

This dude is the first person I've seen pick Missouri over Utah state. As a Mizzou fan thank you kind sir 😭😂
Surpsried, I've done quite a few brackets (around 50 lol, not busy at all) and I rarely choose Utah State, and I'm even in Utah.
@devinbarlow7953 here in Missouri we hate the match up, Utah state matches up well against the Tigers.
@@toddalexander1903 I like it for Mizzou, and I'm a Duke, so I haven't followed USU extremely close, but I've watched a lot of there games.
That Utah state team got NBA height and they can shoot lights out. I wish you luck
Am I the only one who is super hyped on Marquette for some reason?
Good pick on taking Memphis to the Sweet 16. I'm hoping they go a little further.

Marquette will make finals.
I got everything the same but UCLA over uconn
I have zaga over uconn, I just think their offense is too good, but it was a really tough decision and it could 100% go either way

My sleeper is Oral Roberts. They have a tough first round match up against Duke, but if they can beat them, they have an easy road to the final four.
If they get past Duke they can make a DEEP run
Honestly they’re a GOOD value at +8000 to make the final four
true, that said i think if they come up against a team with athletic perimeter defense that can lock up abmas they will be in serious trouble they also don’t really have interior defense besides vanover so they’ll struggle against duke

Was looking for this comment😭
My Final Four is Alabama, Memphis, Houston, and Kansas
I really like how you did the east section
Afraid the Houston injury will hurt their chances but the Final 4 in Houston with Houston there makes a great story!
Sasser said he’s 100% returning in the round of 64
What y’all think about my final four Alabama duke texas and ucon

yo danny hot take is texas a&m gets out of penn st and texas i can see them in the final four
Kennesaw seems like that Cinderella story team idk why but feel that too
They came REALLY close
FUN FACT FOR EVERYONE! The mountain west is 0-7 in the last 3 first rounds, keep that in mind when making your picks.
So they are due for a win.
Does Indiana win in if Marcus Sasser is still out.
He’s not tho
Like the bracket overall, but it seems like you were trying to hard to chase underdog winning really improbable games

@@evanjoyt318 true. It’ll be interesting to see how they do.
Blueblood glazing is insane
Thought Kentucky over Marquette was a huge reach. Agree with the Duke run tho, they’re scorchingly hot
Not to mention both Auburn and Alabama are playing their first games in Birmingham (practical home games)
Kinda think we all over-emphasizing the Zeigler injury. Remember they were almost better with him early this season
What we’ve all been waiting for
👍
My final four is bama, Houston, Duke and zaga
And bama beats Houston again, at home for the second time this year
Missou is 156th in defense and Utah State is really good
Ik I am probably wrong but I got Indiana in the final four
Was tempted to take Wvu over Bama too but the game is in Birmingham
It’s all opinion based but man idk how you have Kentucky in the final 4.. it’s not like those 11 losses came only at the beginning. Idk if that team can string together 4 wins in a row.. they couldn’t even match up against Vandy in their 2 games this past week

wow we had similar brackets, I feel a little better about mine now 😂
I always love to see a bracket buster. Just gotta pick the right team. St. Pete's was last year's. No I did not have them lol.
Vermont this year
Picking unc Asheville in a couple brackets
@@Dannyology I mean, with 25 brackets I feel as if you need to have UNC Ash + Vermont in atleast one.

Alabama,Marquette,Houston,Kansas
I have all 2 seeds on final 4 woth ucla pulling it out over marquette
I don’t trust Purdue but Andy Katz predicted them to win
How many times does Marquette have to prove you wrong until you pick them lmao
Xavier ain’t losing to Kennesaw State. Kennesaw is probably the weakest 14.

No way Kentucky is making it to the Final Four.😂
At best I see them winning 1 or 2 rounds. Kentucky is not Final Four material.
@@123ucr the first team Kentucky Runs into that has a good big man defender they’ll lose. Oscar does not compete well against them.

Iowa ain’t even winning round 1 clown
Good picks on just about everything, but kentucky aint it. They always find a way to choke in march and have ruined several brackets for me.
Arkansas vs Illinois is the matchup of two teams that don’t know how to win. So as a Hogs fan I’ll probably have an aneurysm. Especially if they have a halftime lead.
You say you like Sir Jabari Rice, but you don't like Texas! Well, we know WVU is tough at home and so is Texas. Was Memphis a fluke taking down Houston, or was it just a ba ay for cougars/
Texas is better than Memphis in my opinion - why don't you think they can't get up to beat Houston? The game will be close and could be an OT game. I agree on Marquette, they move the ball so good - great passing team.
Houston vs Texas would be a fantastic game could go either way I’ve been high in Houston for a while now though
Kentucky is ass brother, I respect your opinions and it is MM but you dropped the ball on that one.
I think UConn bigs can play with any buddy and when their hitting from out side this team can beat anyone
I really like your picks especially kentucky, I do see baylor going far and tcu however
Uk is garbage cant beat vandy cant make a free throw typical cal team undisciplined trash
I think drake is as close as a lock as you can get in a 12over5 game they are good
Alabama, Kansas, Houston, and Kansas State as my final four
@Liam Lynn Kansas state is not a one seed
@Liam Lynn Thanks, who do you have as your final four?
Nice picks but I have to admit as a ku fan I'm a little offended
It is Pittsburgh
Sorry brother SDSU is not falling
