| Round 33 | |
| Brian H. | Rice |
| Brian T. | I'll take the Lumberjacks of Stephen F. Austin, from the Southland. |
| John | I'll clear out the Colonial by taking VCU. |
| Matt | I'll take College of Charleston from the Southern |
| Andrew | I’ll go ahead and re-remove the Mississippi Valley State Devils, a school that fondly remembers the old Totten-to-Rice years of averaging 70 points a game … in football … but whose basketball team is sooo bad that they are often confused with lowly South Carolina State. Actually, neither of these teams are that bad … but what chance does a 16 seed have against the likes of Duke and Stanford? |
| Jamie | Iowa State Cyclones-Big 12 |
| Round 34 | |
| Jamie | Georgetown Hoyas-Big East |
| Andrew | I see where they are issuing same-sex marriage licenses in San Francisco. That's about as surprising to me as the IUPUI Jaguars having a terrible basketball team. In other shocking developments, they'll be driving cars real fast in Daytona, Florida on Sunday. |
| Matt | I'll take Austin Peay from the Ohio Valley. |
| John | I'll take the Toledo Rockets of the Mid-American. Ain't no way the MAAC is sending three teams to the dance. |
| Brian T. | Georgia Southern |
| Brian H. | Wisc-Mil -- Horizon |
| Round 35 | |
| Brian H. | Troy State -- Atlantic Sun |
| Brian T. | Central Florida |
| John | Let's clear out the Patriot with a little ol' Lafayette Leapords |
| Matt | I'll take Seton Hall from the BE |
| Andrew | Obviously those of you who made picks today did not check out last night's action in NCAA men's basketball. For if you had, you would have surely noticed that the Air Force Falcons fell to the Texas Pan American Broncs by a final score of 37-35. The Broncs, an NCAA independent and Prophesy of Futility 2nd round choice, improved to 11-13 on the year. Umm, that's gotta hurt the old RPI. By the way, I'll take Air Force. |
| Jamie | Louisville |
| Round 36 | |
| Jamie | Maryland |
| Andrew | I'll go with the Murray State Racers of the Ohio Valley, which means come conference tournament time, I will join the chorus of Austin Peay supporters in what has to be one of the greatest rallying cries of any school: "Let's Go Peay! ... Let's Go Peay!" |
| Matt | Vanderbilt |
| John | Gimme those smart fellers from Princeton in the Ivy. |
| Brian T. | I'll take the Boston U. Terriers, American East. |
| Brian H. | East TN State -- to close out the Southern |
| Round 37 | |
| Brian H. | Manhattan -- to close out the Metro Atlantic |
| Brian T. | Utah State Aggies |
| John | If I could have the Ducks of Oregon I’d be most appreciative. Thanks. |
| Matt | I'll take Purdue Boilermakers por favor. |
| Andrew | "I sincerely regret that yesterday, a portion of my remarks were either misinterpreted or taken, aired out of context," Gary Barnett said. "And I apologize for answering that question in a manner where I must have come across as insensitive. What I wanted to communicate, was that Boston College is a really, really awful men’s basketball team. “ |
| Jamie | The North Carolina Tar Heels-ACC |
| Round 38 | |
| Jamie | The Texas Tech Knight Raiders-Big 12 |
| Andrew | I'll take the Creighton Bluejays of the MVC. This team has been struggling lately due to a lack of an inside force. It seems that their star center was chosen to participate in the new reality show, "The Littlest Groom." |
| Matt | I'll take Oklahoma |
| John | Wester.n Mich Broncos. |
| Brian T. | I think you all know who I'm taking. That's right, the Dayton Flyers from the A-10. |
| Brian H. | Kent State of the Mid-AM |
| Round 39 | |
| Brian H. | Utah of the Mountain West |
| Brian T. | I'll take Southern Illinois, MVC. |
| John | Gimme South Carolina. |
| Matt | I'll take UF.. |
| Andrew | It is very interesting that Martha Stewart sold her Wisconsin basketball season tickets last week, and the Badgers have since lost two consecutive games. I'm not getting left behind. Give me Wisconsin. |
| Jamie | Louisiana State |
| Round 40 | |
| Jamie | Georgia Tech |
| Andrew | If the Arizona Wildcat starting five would have spent more time on the hardwood this season, and less time watching "Sex and the City" ... they wouldn't have been so choked up during last night's series finale. Also, they'd be a better basketball team. |
| Matt | Gimme Illinois.. |
| John | Syracuse |
| Brian T. | I'll take Memphis. |
| Brian H. | Cincinnati |
| Round 41 | |
| Brian H. | Providence |
| Brian T. | Uh....Kansas. |
| John | I'll be the first to take a potential Number 1 seed. Gimme Pitt. |
| Matt | Gimme NC State then.. |
| Andrew | The Connecticut Huskies were allowed a private viewing of "The Passion of the Christ" last night. They left the theater utterly confused and offended. It seems they were confused by the subtitles and offended that the actors didn't speak English. They were also miffed that there weren't enough basketball scenes. |
| Jamie | MSU Bulldawggies |
| Round 42 | |
| Jamie | the Wake Forest Deacons. |
| Andrew | Only 7 teams in the history of college basketball have gone undefeated and won the national championship. 1976 was the last time. I seriously doubt that St. Joseph's will become the 8th team to accomplish this feat. In fact, the Hawks are soooo overrated, that they could easily be the first ever 1-seed to be eliminated in the 1st round. |
| Matt | I'll take Gonzaga.. I hope there are no more March miracles out of them... |
| John | How’s this for a curve ball? I’ll take Duke. |
| Brian T. | I'll take the Albany Great Danes outta the...what? They've already been taken? Okay, I guess I'll have to take Texas then |
| Brian H. | I guess I can sit back and wait for the brackets to come out and access which of the three remaing has the rockiest road ahead of them.....oh what the hell |
| 1. Eddie Sutton is a basketball god and I am a big fan of the Pokes from Stillwater | |
| 2. Never pick against Kentucky in the NCAAs | |
| 3. Especially when the other remaining team has never shown itself to really be anything beyond a wimpy team that may make it to the Elite Eight but just hasn't proved itself to this NHASEDer. | |
| I will go on the premise that SAT scores do not equate with basketball scores. Give me Standford. The pressure is just gonna continue to mount on them if they stay undefeated. |
