How does your bracket look? Who are your "sleepah" picks?
I have honestly never seen BYU win a game. And thats over a number of years. It seems that every year they are talked about as being one of the better teams in the NCAA tournament, yet they never win. I would be hesitant to pick BYU over KSU.
Midwest
My biggest upset here is San Diego State over Tennessee. I have Michigan State beating Maryland in the second round. I have Kansas vs G'Town in the Regional Final, with Kansas winning.
West
I have UTEP beating Butler and Vanderbilt before losing to Syracuse. I have Syracuse playing Kansas State in the final and Kansas State pulling the semi upset.
East
Might be somewhat of a homer type deal, but also I truly believe that Temple will beat Cornell and Wisconsin. I also have Marquette beating Washington and New Mexico. I have Missouri over Clemson as well. In the final I have Kentucky playing WVU, with Kentucky winning.
South
Nothing really shocking about the South region for me. All the top seeds win in the first round except I have Louisville over Cal. In the second round I have TAMU "upsetting" Purdue, all the top seeds continue on other than that. I have Duke and Nova advancing to the final, with Nova beating them for the second year in a row.
Final Four
I have Kansas vs Kansas State, and I have Kansas beating K-State for the 4th time this year. Then on the other side I have Kentucky vs Villanova, I feel Kentucky has the size and guard play to completely thrash Nova in this matchup. In the final I believe the experience of Kansas will play a key part in them winning the National Championship.
East: I've got Cornell in the Sweet 16, and I picked Kentucky to go to the Final Four but I'm not too sure of that pick.
South: I've got Siena beating Purdue, but I've got Duke in the Final Four with an Elite 8 win over Villanova.
Midwest: I've got Kansas winning the regional, but the other Elite 8 opponent I'm not too sure of, couldn't choose between OSU and Georgetown so I just went with my favorite team.
West: I've got Butler in the Sweet 16, and BYU beating Kansas State. I've got Syracuse beating Pitt in the Elite 8.
Final Four: I've got Kansas beating Syracuse, and Kentucky beating Duke. Then I've got Kansas winning it all.
Midwest: Leaning towards #10 Georgia Tech over #7 Ok St. I've got Kansas beating tOSU in the Elite 8.
West: #11 Minny over #6 Xavier, #12 UTEP over #5 Butler. Also considering taking another leap of faith and going #13 Murray State over #4 Vandy. I've got K-State beating Syracuse in the Elite 8.
South: Duke over Baylor in the elite 8 but am conflicted on that. A&M beating Purdue. #10 St Marys over #7 Richmond.
East: #11 Washington all the way to the Sweet 16. Mizzou over Clemson. Kentucky beating WVU.
Please talk me out of some of the crazy upsets...
I'm wondering if anybody else has this happening? I've also got them there.
I've made 12 brackets, but this is my first one i made on espn what i think will go down.
Midwest
nothing special here, ku over g'town in elite 8
West
got vandy in the s16 vs cuse. this part of the bracket is prob the most complicated. murray st, utep all could be s16 teams. but im just gunna go with the fav
pitt over ksu in s16 and pitt over cuse in elite 8
East
uk over wvu, a couple seed upsets but its meh
South
im going against the grain and taking tamu in the s16, baylor over nova in s16 and baylor over duke in elite 8
kansas over pitt, uk over baylor then ku winning it all. I think all my brackets i have kansas winning it all, if they get bounced early im fucked.
Midwest
Kansas is my pick to win it all. No real surprises here, I have San Diego St. and Georgia Tech picking up first round upsets, and Georgetown losing to Kansas in the elite eight.
West
I have UTEP in the sweet 16, along with Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and Kansas St. Syracuse advances to the Final Four.
East
It might be a homer pick but I have Wisconsin beating Kentucky and advancing to the Elite Eight, before losing to West Virginia. Only other upset here is Cornell over Temple.
South
What a shitty bracket this one is. I have Duke losing to Louisville, and Purdue losing to Siena. Villanova hasn't impressed me this year, I have them losing to Baylor. I also have Texas A&M going to the Elite 8 before losing to Baylor.
So
Final Four, Two 1 seeds, a 2 seed, and a 3 seed.
Elite Eight, Two 1 seeds, Two 2 seeds, Two 3 seeds, a 4 seed, and a 5 seed.
Midwest
Nothing too fancy here, but I do like Georgia Tech to be Oklahoma State and Ohio State. Kansas moves on easily.
West
I like UTEP a lot, but I have been back and fourth on who they play in the second round. Either way, I like them to make the Sweet 16. Also, Xavier over Pitt in the second round.
East
Cornell is the sexy sleeper, but I'm not as sold as everyone else is on Big Red. I have them barely beating Temple then losing to Wisconsin. Also Washington over Marquette.
South
Utah State over Texas A&M, then over Purdue. The Aggies get together behind the stache and roll into the Sweet 16. That is before a loss to Duke. Then I like Baylor to make the Final Four.

That is all.
I just can't get into any ACC team doing much besides Duke...i'm riding a lot on talent, senior leadership in this tourney.
