Give me you choice of who do you think is in danger of being upset in the tournament. I know it isn't posted yet, but the teams that are there, which one isn't focused?

DUKE probaly will be the first TOP team to go.... I look for Kansas to make a run along with Florida st. in the tourney.....

**cougarpride08** · 03-11-2009, 09:18 PM

those are some good teams, but Michigan St better watch out.

If Louisville loses in the first weekend, would that be considered an upset???

Without seeing the match-ups and seedings, I don't want to make any predicitons by team, but I like this statistic:

#1 Seeds- Of course no #1 seed has ever lost in the first round but even better the overall record for #1 seeds is (376-104) 78% win percentage overall in the NCAA tournament.

#2 Seeds- Only 4 #2 seeds have lost in first round and none since 2001. Overall record (267-114) 70% win percentage overall in the NCAA tournament.

#3 Seeds- First round upsets have occured 15 times since 1985. Overall Record (199-116) 63% win percentage overall in the NCAA tournament.

#4 Seeds- Upsets for first round have happened 21 times in the last 24 years. Overall NCAA tournament record (161-118) 57% win percentage.

#5 Seeds- Everybody knows that this #12 seeds always seem to upset #5 seeds in fact 31 times since 1985 they have upset the favorite in the first round. Overall NCAA tournament record (141-121) 53% win percentage overall.

#6 Seeds- Only 30 out of 96 times have the #6 been upset since 1985! Overall record (154-118) 56 % win perecentage overall!

#7 Seeds- Not a big upset when they lose the first round surpsingly they have a good win perecentage in the first round since 1985 going 60-36. Overall record (105-120) 46% win percentage overall.

#8 Seeds- Many don't consider this first round loss an upset because these teams are always so similar. Since 1985 overall record 44-52. Overall record is (88-119) 42% win percentage overall.

Duke, UNC, and Texas will be out of the tourney early.

I think OU has a good chance to get beat in their 2nd round matchup.

Louisville will go out frist they will have a bad shooting game and get sent home early.

**cougarpride08** · 03-12-2009, 06:48 PM

Louisville is playing the best ball right now. I think Louisville will at least be a elite 8 team.

Is this statement based on your knowledge of basketball or is it based on your dislike for UofL? Anyone of the teams in the tournament could have a bad shooting game and go home early!!!!

Louisville will get knocked out in the sweet 16,, mark it down.. and I will laugh.. They think they got a chance to win it all haha

As much as some of you might want, Louisville, Duke and Carolina will all make it to at least the sweet 16. Trust me, i wish Duke would lose the 1st round, but it just isn't going to happen. I would say Oklahoma should be on upset alert because since Griffin's concussion, they haven't seemed to play as well. I would like to see a cinderella team make the elite 8 like Western Kentucky last year, but we will see.
