Am I crazy for thinking 12 seeds will go 4-0 in Round 1

Strongest crop of 12 seeds since I can remember
4 legit teams playing a group of 5 seeds with flaws

So neither of you guys think any 12 seed stands a chance?

Notre Dame and Virginia are playing excellent teams, and ISU loves to disappoint in the tournament.

Would not be surprised if oddsmakers install MTSU as the favorite in their game

You said they'd go 4-0...

I can't comment on Minnesota because I have literally not watched a single B1G game this year besides the challenge.

You're crazy, this the best NDame team yet, IMO I felt they were the 2nd best team in the ACC this year. so sorry Ivy league, keep studying.
NV over Ia ST...maybe, but unlikely, they'd win 2 out of 10.
MN VS Mid TN, that is a trap game, MN wins, there is no such thing as repeat UPSETS teams.
UNC-WIlm VS VA...all day, that is my upset pick.

MTSU will be the only one that wins

Not sure how you came to that conclusion

12 over 5 is never to be overlooked in this tourney.

I am obviously biased, but I would much, much, much rather play Princeton than any of UNCW, MTSU, ETSU, NMSU, and Vermont.
Since we had that mini-skid in late Jan/early Feb, we've gone 8 - 2 with the only two losses being at Louisville and Duke in the ACCT final - both very close losses. Those eight wins include a 3 seed (2X), a 5 seed, and an 11 seed. We're playing really good basketball right now.
I think the 5/12s are 2 - 2 this year. I like UNCW and MTSU. I like Iowa State right now, too, and I don't think Nevada will give them too many problems.

Even if they were all 50/50 to win, which is generous at best, there would still only be a 6.25% of them going 4-0. It's a possibility, but a slim one. So if you were "confident" in them all winning, then yes, you would be crazy. If you thought it was a legit possibility, then no.

Lol what?
Butler, Witchita St, and VCU are examples of teams who've had multiple years of solid runs as underdogs (even thought WSU was a one seed, they still parlayed an underdog run into another good season).
If you've been there and done it before and return some of those people, those teams do exceptionally well the following year.

Let me help you out bro, first off Butler, VCU, and Wichita are'nt nobodies, those are mid majors, you know schools that you have heard of.
Mid TN ST, has a direction in their school name...that is a nobody. Nobody and I mean nobody saw them coming last year and they blew up my own personal bracket as I had MSU winning it all, however this year we all know who they are, MN won't be over looking them and when Seth and Clark are screaming watch out for these guys when they are calling the bracket, the cat is out of the bag, there is no surprise now which put them at a disadvantage, under the radar is how those crazy upsets happen.
