Originally posted by no1marauderI would say Louisville was the first major upset. I venture to say no one predicted that one.
Amazing so far; 4 of the first 5 games went down to a last second shot. Morehead State with a stunner over Louisville was the first upset.
I don't know how many predicted Temple's victory over Penn State (although I did in my bracket).
Granted, that is only a 7 beating a 10.
I predicted an upset in the same bracket as Louisville, although not Louisville.
I have Richmond upsetting Vanderbilt, which would be a 12 beating a 5. We shall see.
I guarantee you both Richmond and Vanderbilt like facing Morehead St in the next round.

Vandy's bricking free throws and now down by 3 with a minute to go.

Well, at least I am 7-1 through the first 8 games, but there is a long way to go.

Belmont's one of my upset picks against scoring challenged Wisconsin.

Missouri to beat Cincinnati and lost both, but won the other 6.
All in all 13-3 isn't too bad. However, my bracket sustained some damage since
I had Michingan state going to the regional finals before they lost, so that will hurt.
I also have Gonzaga going deep as well in their bracket...just a hunch on my part.
Of course, there is still a long way to go.
Plus I will be pulling for Texas to go farther than I predicted.
But sentiments and bracket picking cannot go hand in hand.
