Next pick, Northern Iowa champions of the Missouri Valley Conference. Since Creighton decided to laydown after their controversial win over Wichita State, I have a strong feeling they won't be dancing this year and will be swapped for another team. Should've waited on that pick!

Octo, it looks like you have mine and Drew's 4th picks swapped on the pretty board. He has Tennessee and I have Creighton. I'd be willing to leave it as is if it's good for him too.

With my round 6 selection... I pick the Arizona Wildcats.



I saw these guys beat UCLA... So my opinion on them is a little better than their 19-12 record.

If Arizona gets in, and that's a huge question mark at this point, they will be very, very dangerous.

I'm guessing this is Round 6 and 7?

Round 6 - South Carolina
Round 7 - San Diego State

I'm going to take a chance here, kinda like the Arizona pick above. I like this team if they get in, but they may not. Not a fan in real life AT ALL! Kansas State Wildcats

They haven't been there in a long time but if they get an at-large bid they could be fun and dangerous!

With my 7th round pick, I'll take Michigan!

Trojan97 is Aked. Which means I'm up.

After watching this morning's scores, I'm not particularly inspired by the Minnesota Golden Gophers, but few of the remaining teams with at-large bid chances are particularly inspiring.



(Hopefully I'm not jinxing them but they're up by 10 with less than a minute left)

Insane game between Syracuse and Connecticut: six overtimes! The prospective #1 seeds really took a beating today, with Pittsburg, Connecticut, Kansas, and Oklahoma all losing.

Anyway, with my last pre-selection-sunday pick, I'll take the Maryland Terrapins and see if they can put together a bit of a run here in the ACC tournament.

I had fun reading this thread..Im married to a diehard lover of the SEC (my husband went to the Univ of Kentucky) and although the Wildcats won't be making it into this years bracket unless they win the SEC championship by beating LSU and 2 other teams (they did win their first game today though).......we love March Madness and the Big Dance. Gosh I wish I was in this draft..ah well.

Since 3 of my last 4 picks probably aren't going to make the tournament, I had better take the best team with a punched ticket out there. That would be the Portland State Vikings who own a win over Gonzaga in Spokane and a 1 point loss to Washington in Seattle. Do me proud Big Sky Champions!

Yeah, I think the post-selection-sunday round will mostly be you, GirlySports and I filling out our rosters with 15 and 16 seeds.
