New thread for the second round

Going to lock the 1st round thread once the games kick off today. Same rules. You can make a game thread for any game. Or you can post about any game in here. Just check before you make a thread to make sure one doesn’t already exist.

RTR.

Auburn and Arkansas can really make a statement today. Especially for these two blowhard coaches. If we do what we we supposed to do, the two shirtless wonders can really open up the bracket.

Half of my picks for today would be upsets.

Arkansas can play thugball all they want today

I’d love for Princeton, Creighton, and Furman to win today...

Creighton is the only one of those I have in the Sweet 16.

I have Creighton and SDSU in the Sweet 16 but I can’t help myself pulling for Furman for some reason...

I only pull for underdogs after I have no chance at winning the pool. I will be pulling for Princeton since I had Arizona in the sweet 16 and I just plain don't like Mizzu.

Furman looks good so far

They definitely look legit so far.

That’s kind of my approach too usually.

I’m making an exception for Furman because the metrics say their style of play would make them a better potential future opponent.

Furman is streaky like Mizzou but we handle that well because we have Elite D

SDSU is similar to A&M and AU trying to get you into a rock fight.

But of course we have to handle business or all of that is moot

San Diego State on a 11-1 run.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

furman looking less legit now

 

[TideEngineer08]

SD State advances. Furman was never a threat after the first 10 minutes.

Dang. There goes everyone’s chance to join in the student body “F-U!” chant for a couple games…

And now I hold my nose and cheer for Dook.

SDSU looked pretty solid defensively and offensively. If we can handle Maryland tonight, I think we will have our hands full with them. Of course, at this point, every team should be a handful. Roll Tide!

I actually think I'll pull for UT because I think UT is less of a long term threat to us. Duke has really been playing well, so it wouldn't hurt my feelings to see them get bounced.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

What a FLOP that was...LOL

Classic Duke
