Let’s hear your worst NCAA Tournament predictions
Posted on March 31st, 2010 by Mike under NCAA, march madnessRegardless of how demented the NCAA tournament gets played out, one prediction holds true, year in and year out – bad predictions. Thankfully, most of them were spoken in hushed tones – I can’t even seem to track down who Dick Vitale picked.
However, with the Final Four set to tip in two days, the time to come clean is now.
I implore you, let’s hear the worst prediction you made this NCAA tournament. Here’s mine taken from my post: NCAA Tournament: The Regions in 100 Words or Less:
Cornell is not all they’re cracked up to be, and everyone should be considering Temple for the Sweet-16 rather than picking Cornell to upset, because Evan Rodriguez is the real deal and Ryan Wittman is just a garden-variety nerd.
Cornell of course were exactly what they were cracked up to be – many a non-genius picked them to go to the Sweet-16. And that nerd Wittman’s NCAA tourney showing included a 20 point showing in their win over Temple, and 24 in their win over Wisconsin. As for Evan Rodriguez, if you do a search, your more likely to find Chi Chi Rodriguez highlights during tournament week. I’d be lying if I said that prediction was based on more on basketball knowledge, and less on just trying to to be a contrarian.
For all others willing to swallow your pride, and cop to poor NCAA tourney conjectures, leave it in the comments below.

I’d like to hate on that strategy, but I’ve foolishly picked UCONN too many years strictly out of fandom myself.

Well, I picked UTEP to beat Butler in the first round. Now Butler is in the Final 4 and UTEP is coached by Tim Floyd. Not sure it gets any worse than that.

Picking Georgetown to make it to the Elite 8. Still haven’t learned my lesson about the Hoyas

Um, missed the entire Final Four for the first time ever. KSU, Ohio St., Kentucky and — GULP! — Notre Dame. Hey, 3/4 almost made it.

If you thought you were the only jerk who relied too heavily on the Big East, this a pretty reassuring thread.

About the only thing I did right was pick Butler into the Final Four… Everything else is wrong…
