Keenan Henderson Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Of all the sporting events: NBA Playoffs, Super Bowl, World Series, etc. the NCAA tournament is still my favorite. You never know what will happen and who will upset who. Hard to believe but they are already interviewing coaches and players on Youtube for tomorrow night's first four games. Who do you like in the Final Four? What are some upsets, besides ORU, that you could see happening? Favorite opening round match ups not named ORU/Duke?
Keenan Henderson Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 Ok will kick it off. The final four could be Texas, Purdue, Kansas, and Arizona. Some upset teams: Drake (who ORU tied 80-80 in a preseason game), Iona (hard to go against Rick Pitino), and Grand Canyon (good mixture of players). Some really good first round match ups: Creighton vs NC State. These teams are both really talented and have some future pro players. Arkansas vs Illinois: Razorbacks are my second team favorite team and both teams have a lot of length and skill. Kentucky vs Providence: both teams have been up and down but the winner could make a run in the tournament. On a side note: I did pick ORU to make the Sweet 16 and lose to Purdue in the ESPN Bracket. Purdue has a good chance to cut down the nets in April.
Old Titan Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Mind if I use this thread for tournament developments outside of ORU-Duke? Thx! LOL 1

ron Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 In a way I would have preferred to play before that game. Now Duke has been warned. 1

That game was in Orlando, Coach Scheyer just got his teams full attention! And Coach Mills can point out to the court and remind the Eagles what can happen when you play your best!! Doesn't matter what it says on paper, that's why games are played on the court!! I can't wait for the tip, it's March Madness Baby!! 3
ron Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I am not worried at all! Paul Mills is a phenomenal coach! He will have his/our team fully dialed in! 1

ORob2 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Well, with Missouri over Utah State, all 25 of my ESPN brackets are officially busted. Anyone doing better than me?
oruvoice Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Not me. I missed every one of the first 3 games...WVU, UVA, & Utah State. The good news is that I didn't have any of them winning the second game, so not a total loss, yet. 1

ORU40 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I lost the UVA game but had them losing in the next round, of course Mrs. ORU40 picked Furman in her bracket... so I might hear about that a time or 2!! 3

ORob2 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I think I filled out 2, and then let ESPN’s “randomized with seeds considered” algorithm give me the others lol. I was trying to get a check from Warren Buffet this year
ManiacAlum Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Came here to make a snarky comment about the quality of the ACC after Virginia's loss but I should probably be good. Also, my bracket already:
