The Official 2009 March Madness Thread

[johnm is...]

id like to know some of the upsets the guys on boxingscene have, here are a list of mine:


Utah State over Marquette

Purdue over uconn

Arizona over Utah...

Sienna over osu

i was really tempted to put north dakota state with the huge upset over kansas... north dakota state is no joke..

VCU over ucla... i think everybody has this one.

West Kentucky over both illinois and gonzaga

I have all of these. Like you, I almost pulled the trigger on N. Dakota St over Kansas, but couldn't do it. I originally had ASU over 'Cuse, but I ended up changing it back. Was also very tempted to take Cleveland St over Wake, but laid off. I also have USC over BC, not that a 10 over a 7 is that big an upset.

memphis pulling away in the last minute leading 78-68. if cal st gave them this much problems, its not looking good for memphis later in the tourney. and i got them in the final four

i had butler, my first mistake. i hate that its this early.
