NCAA 2nd Round
A little late here. Sorry about that, I didn’t even get a chance to do my first round picks.
A Few Thoughts On the First Round:
1. I actually wasn’t surprised when Georgetown lost to Ohio. Ohio is a very strong team, and Georgetown seemed a little too weak to me.
2. Robert Morris vs. Villanova was a little too close for my taste. If the committee thinks Villanova is a 2 seed, Villanova should play like a 2 seed. This game should not have gone to double overtime.
3.
4. Those 1 vs. 16 games were horrendous. Someone get a medical van quickly!
I can tell you that I got 63% of those first rounders correct, which isn’t that good, even if this is my first time around the block. But anyway, here are some picks for the 2nd Round. No game previews, only because there are so many games and I am not as well versed in college basketball as I am in football, baseball, or soccer.
Midwest:
Kansas vs. Northern Iowa: Kansas
Michigan State vs. Maryland: Maryland
Tennessee vs. Ohio: Tennessee
Georgia Tech vs. Ohio State: Ohio State
West:
Syracuse vs. Gonzaga: Syracuse
Butler vs. Murray State: A close game, but I will have to pick Butler
Xavier vs. Pittsburgh: Upset pick! Xavier
Brigham Young vs. Kansas State: Kansas State
East:
Kentucky vs. Wake Forest: Kentucky
Cornell vs. Wisconsin: Wisconsin
Washington vs. New Mexico: New Mexico
Missouri vs. West Virginia: West Virginia
South:
Duke vs. California: Duke
Texas A&M vs. Purdue: Texas A&M
Old Dominion vs. Baylor: Baylor
Saint Mary’s vs. Villanova: Villanova Hopefully they will play better this time!
Okay then, there are today’s and tomorrow’s 16 games laid out for you. This format will be followed (hopefully) the whole way through the tournament.
