Not seeing that one.

Late in the season, McNeese almost lost to Lamar.

Hard to imagine them beating Clemson, but stranger things have happened in March.

I wouldn’t mind if it happened!

7

Lamar’s a 20 win team thanks to Coach Brooks.

I can see CSU, Drake, and UCSD but I struggle to see the others, especially Yale, that one probably isn’t happening

9

Ordinarily, I’d SCOFF at that, but, to be fair, Yale did upset Auburn last year.

10

I could see Akron, they’re just the kind of volume shooting team that could take down anyone if they had a lucky day.

11

Yale is weird and an unknown- not at all a bad thing- but ATM should get by them.
I would have picked Colorado St. over Penny until SDSU cratered against UNC. (A bad sign for the Mountain West)
I like Drake v Mizzou
Akron over AZ… please- not unless AZ crashes their bus.
VCU is for real
I like UCSD v Michigan. UCSD can srore a LOT.

12

I have UCSD over Michigan, VCU over BYU (sorry to my BYU friends on here), and Colorado St over Memphis from that list.

13

Technically, Colorado State over Memphis would not be an upset. The Rams are favored.

True.

Also, see Exhibit A for why I’m not picking McNeese to upset Clemson

I have McNeese over Clemson as an upset… McNeese plays good ball.

18

I just don’t see VCU over BYU… Why is everyone so in love with that upset?

McNeese played at 2 SEC schools early in the season and lost to Bama 64-72 & to Miss State 63-66…

They play good ball and could easily upset Clemson if they don’t come in with the intensity that McNeese is going to bring.

20

KenPom has it basically as a pick 'em. Pretty tight spread for a 6/11 matchup, especially if you like picking upsets like I do!
