It wouldn't surprise me in the least. Vandy has proven all year that they're a force at home, but a mediocre team on the road. Bad road teams are very good bets for early upsets in the tournament.

Potential upset in the making..

(13) San Diego up on (4) Connecticut by 7, 12:28 left.

JayP · 03-21-2008, 03:51 PM

Jackson misses a lay-up as time expires to send the game to OT.

If San Diego ends up losing he's going to be thinking about that one for awhile.

wpgflamesfan · 03-21-2008, 04:11 PM

haha wow everyone at school laughed at me for picking san diego

ricoFlame · 03-21-2008, 10:05 PM

sooooo much red on my bracket. i always pick waaaay too many upsets in teh first round. oh well. good times nonetheless.

What a terrible reffed game vill vs clemson.

No flow nothing.

Either way Clemson looked like a school that should be playing in Canada, they couldn't hit a shot.

The team loses Mays and Hammonds for next year. I do like Stit the freshmen point gaurd he was 4for 4 from 3 point land. He just needs to shoot more when hes hot he should have kept shooting tonight and maybe clemson would have won.

Rough one for my bracket today....not surprising but Indiana finally did piss away the season tonight with most talented team they've had in 20 years, thanks Sampson. Great senior season from DJ White, hope he gets a shot at the next level, and Eric Gordon stay in school you're not NBA material.

Good day for me today overall. My East regional is perfect so far, and I've only lost 1 in the South. I still have 13 of my sweet 16 alive and kicking!

How bout those Hilltoppers?

worth · 03-22-2008, 10:42 AM

24/32 overall so far. Had a bit of a rough day yesterday. There were definetly some hard to read games in there.

moon · 03-22-2008, 01:25 PM

Man Nelson was awful yesterday for Duke and has been horrible again today. He must have missed at least 7-10 lay-ups in both games.

He was great for Duke this season but he needs to pick it up here. If plays plays average int eh first half Duke has a comfortable lead.

At least he is playing okay defensively.

nickerjones · 03-22-2008, 04:03 PM

i was perfect the first day and then lost 9 games the 2nd day YIKES!!!

but 14 of my 16 are still alive... i lost clemson and uconn.... =(

Yah I'm sitting top 10 but I had Clemson winning it all.

Yah I'm crazy but when I did my bracket my homerism got the best of me

troutman · 03-23-2008, 11:58 AM

Here I come - like a bullet! From 20th to 12th overnight.

ricoFlame · 03-23-2008, 04:11 PM

davidson can beat any team in the country. wow, impressive stuff.

OilersBaby · 03-23-2008, 04:31 PM

uh oh georgetown lost......im screwed.

eastern kentucky better NOT beat UCLA next round or mine and a lot of other's people's brackets will be messed up!

worth · 03-24-2008, 07:01 AM

I had Georgetown in the final four, so that is a significant hit to me. Rest of my bracket is pretty well still alive though.

fredr123 · 03-24-2008, 08:04 AM

I don't want to jinx anything by gloating. Damn that midwest region is ugly.

Wow, those are some cool numbers. 2 out of 3.5 million picked correct sweet 16. That's unreal. I think those two people must have been guessing or something. I don't know if you can pick this sweet 16 through actually trying.

And the only way I can see people picking those teams to advance to final is as a homer pick.
