Abilene Christian over Texas


ACU is #1 in the country in forcing turnovers and Texas is in the mid 200s in turnovers a game. Its a long shot but brackets are more fun that way

Everyone picking Ohio I appreciate but almost too many are picking this - makes me nervous. I feel like it’s always the ones you least expect, so I took Iona over Alabama just because.

Ohio over UVA is a super common one I just don't see it. UVA is solid this year and if anything I think a bit underrated. I like them as a 4 seed a lot.

Rutgers over clemson I like a lot however Rutgers is the betting favorite so I wouldn't call it an upset at all. Clemson should absolutely not be a 7 seed

True. But Virginia has literally not be able to practice this week because of covid absurdity. Virginia won't ARRIVE in Indianapolis until today....which will be the first time they will be allowed to practice this week.

You’re probably right. I haven’t watched a single college basketball game all season. It just happens to be the biggest first round upset in my assuredly horrible bracket.

Eastern Washington is really good but UCSB is going to take out some teams this year.

Creighton's leading scorer is out with COVID.
Kansas will be without Enaruna and Wilson due to COVID with McCormack joining the team today after testing positive.
Georgia Tech has lost its top scorer and the ACC player of the year, Moses Wright, to COVID.
Oklahoma's leading scorer De'Vion Harmon is also out

kansas might lose but they are in no way over seeded. they got the seed that they deserve and there's really no argument otherwise.

Kansas was starting to turn it on. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make a run
