You and 90% of the public. The other 10% are the extreme homers

I don't know that everyone who didn't pick the Zags are homers. They are certainly the favorites and the most logical pick, but anything can happen in a single elimination tournament and it's really really hard to go undefeated. As evidenced by it not happening since 1976. Gonzaga certainly seems like the prohibitive favorite at this point, but sometimes people just like picking something other than chalk!

Fair...but it goes against all logic. Maybe someone sees Michigan upsetting them in the final 4 or Baylor beating them in the Final...but if someone has USC winning it all...they're probably a homer.

Based on everyone that anyone has ever accused of being the anti-Christ, anyone who makes the national news is a candidate. From McD to anyone caught on camera going biolistic at a flight crew, the prerequisites to apply for that job are actually pretty low

I certainly love Bennett but i wish UVA was able to at least do those kinds of things on the regular.

Back in '93, Arizona (2) was scheduled to play 1st round punching bag, Gonzaga (15). Well, someone forgot to tell the Bulldogs that was all they were supposed be because they not only punched back, but they punch the Wildcats out of the tournament in the 1st round. Although they got knocked out the next round, they started their climb to were they are today. As far as I know, no 15th seed that has won in the 1st round has come close to duplicating that feet. Then again, I'm not a big enough fan of collage sports to give an informed answer to that question. Can ORU become the next Gonzaga? It's probably less likely because they're a conservative Bible college, so I find it highly unlikely that they'll be able to draw the blue chip high school recruits like a secular state college, but I'd never say never.

Ooof, Gonzaga may go down tonight.

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit.

Wow.

We do a family bracket every year. Winner gets to pick dinner anywhere out of town. My wife usually picks the food court at the back of the Pittsburgh Zoo. She is a cheater who will use any excuseto look at animals. Anyways...my oldest somehow picked the entire Final 4. She couldn't decide between Michigan State and UCLA but was determined that the winner would make a run. She knows zero about basketball aside from the fact that Kentucky wears blue.

She has Gonzaga over Baylor for the ring.

Zaga looking like they may get routed here tonight. Baylor is effing good.
