Listening to Steve the Homer yesterday... he had this question.. and was quite entertaining. Here is my prediction of the tournament
No team that is affiliated with the Big Ten will make the Sweet 16.
The goal of this thread is not for you to answer my prediction, or to dispute it... it is for you to make a bold prediction... and don't say it depends on matchups... no crap. Go with gut feeling
I can see at least one of the teams from the big ten making the sweet sixteen
The point of the thread is for you to make a bold prediction about the tournament...
Not to try and answer my prediction... also..
No one say "well I haven't seen the matchups"... go out on a limb, no one is holding a gun to your head.
Depends on matchups. I'd say the over-under is 1 right now.
If you're looking for a bold prediction, I'll give this a shot. The Big East wins more than a quarter of the 64 games played in the tournament.
All but 1 team that we lost to will make the sweet 16
Six Big East teams will reach the Sweet 16.
That's somewhat bold. That obviously means you think two of the three between cuse, Tenn and Dayton will make the Sweet 16.

Eye... you apparently didn't get the memo of this post... however to fix what you said... he means all 3 will make the sweet 16... since barring a miracle S. Florida is not making the tournament.
3 Big East teams will make the Final Four.
Only 1 Big 10 team will make the Sweet 16 but that team will be playing for a chance to make the Final Four.
no one from a non-BCS conference will make the elite 8...
...including Memphis
- Butler will be upset in the 1st round
- Niagara will be this years Davidson
Memphis is one and done.
No ACC team will get to the final 8.
Louisville will not make the Sweet 16.
Gonzaga will make Final Four.
Wake Forest pulls of a tourney run a la the 2006 Florida Gators and KINDA comes out of nowhere to win it all. They're loaded and very deep with multiple NBA talents.
Stephen Curry scores 0 points in the first round
A Big Televen team scores more than 50 points....
You said you wanted bold. ;D
NDSU wins a game
Two of Big East teams will make the Final Four and one will by Syracuse.

That will be Purdue.

Not to nitpick, but Niagara would have to be in the tournament to be davidson.....Siena is the auto bid from the MAAC
Oklahoma will win the national championship.
Pitt will not make the final four. Quick whistling zebras will stop Blair and the rest of the panthers. Oh and Jimmy Butler will hit a game winner.
Michael Jordan will dunk over Patrick Ewing standing on Manute Bol's shoulders.
After watching today's game I do have one more. We will see the Cooby shake and wiggle one time during the tourny. He is getting close to getting his mojo back. ;)
Marquette will make at least the Elite Eight
