kennypowers 1,431 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 What are some wild predictions you feel will come true in this year's NCAA tournament? I'll start UConn and Arkansas both lose in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Murray State beats Kentucky in their first ever meeting. 2 of the 10 seeds make the sweet 16 ....Davidson and Loyola (that means Duke, Kentucky, and Nova do not make it) Gonzaga is the only 1 seed in Final 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,578 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 A few years ago the Jacksonville ST. women's team beat AU's Lady Tigers. We've lost to their baseball team. Not a prediction but it could happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper 3,132 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Auburn beats Kansas AGAIN. The following Monday 3/28, Jesse Newell ranks Auburn 9th. BTW...here's his latest on his bitter rival... https://gazette.com/ap/sports/jesse-newell-did-kansas-jayhawks-get-lucky-or-unlucky-with-ncaa-tournament-draw-s/article_cc356585-12b9-5c9d-b29e-ec1d7a246dfc.html KU’s potential Elite Eight opponent (if Vegas favorite holds): 2 seed Auburn Lucky or unlucky draw? Lucky. KU’s 2 seed Auburn joins Villanova (South) as the weakest of the No. 2 seeds, and the NCAA selection committee gave KU an added favor by putting overseeded Wisconsin on the 3 line in the Midwest. Elite Eight games aren’t easy. But I’m confident KU — no matter which team it would face in that spot — would be at least a two-point favorite to make the Final Four if it got there. Overall If an “A” grade was the most favorable draw and “F” was the least, I’d grade KU’s path at an “A.” The Jayhawks also couldn’t ask for a better 2/3 seed pairing with Auburn and Wisconsin, as neither squad will come as better than the Jayhawks statistically. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeroforwinger 443 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Davidson ends Coach K’s career. I’m tempted to pick Memphis over Gonzaga. We’ll see. And of course, Auburn wins the natty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 An 8 or 9 seed will beat a 1 seed somewhere. They are just too good this year. Question is which one will prevail. I chose Creighton over Kansas. That was basically just picking the weakest 1 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 OK, current Final 4 for me (plenty of time to change before it starts Thursday lol) and I will have multiple brackets. Gonzaga vs UCLA Illinois (if they can avoid the early upset) vs Auburn Auburn beats Gonzaga in final by 9 in the matchup we wanted to see most of the year. Biased? Sure but we have a good enough team to do it, so rolling with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
