• I’m running a little late and I’m really tired so if you want my playoff predictions, I’ll post them here later, before the games start, along with my results for round 1 (Though it looks like I sucked this year).

  
  

  EDIT: Yeah, I got about half my predictions wrong. The newspaper didn’t put a new grid in so I don’t know which Round 2 games are today and which are tomorrow, so I’ll just give predictions for all of Round 2’s games:

  
  

   

  
  

  #1 Duke vs. #8 George Washington (Duke)

  
  

  #12 Texas A&M vs. #4 LSU (LSU)

  
  

  #6 West Virginia vs. #3 Iowa (Iowa)

  
  

  #10 N.C. State vs. #2 Texas (Texas)

  
  

   

  
  

  #1 Memphis vs. #9 Bucknell (Memphis)

  
  

  #5 Pittsburgh vs. #13 Bradley (Pittsburgh)

  
  

  #6 Indiana vs. #3 Gonzaga (Gonzaga)

  
  

  #10 Alabama vs. #2 UCLA (UCLA)

  
  

   

  
  

  #1 Connecticut vs. #8 Kentucky (Connecticut)

  
  

  #5 Washington vs. #4 Illinois (Washington)

  
  

  #6 Michigan State vs. #3 North Carolina (North Carolina)

  
  

  #7 Wichita State vs. #2 Tennessee (Tennessee)

  
  

   

  
  

  #1 Villanova vs. #8 Arizona (Villanova)

  
  

  #12 Montana vs. #4 Boston College (Boston College)

  
  

  #11 Wisconsin-Milwaukee vs. #3 Florida (Florida)

  
  

  #7 Georgetown vs. #2 Ohio State (Ohio State)

  
  

   

  
  

  Today is also the first round of the women’s tournament, so I’ve gone ahead and done predictions for today’s Round 1 games (I’ll post  the rest of them tomorrow). And, yes, I’d like to reiterate that the newspaper makes the women’s grid TOO DAMN SMALL. This gives me a tendency to choose colleges with shorter names simply because they’re more likely to fit on the gridline, so if I suck at the women’s tournament, I blame the newspaper:

  
  

   

  
  

  #1 North Carolina vs. #16 UC-Riverside (North Carolina)

  
  

  #8 Vanderbilt vs. #9 Louisville (Vanderbilt)

  
  

   

  
  

  #5 Utah vs. #12 Middle Tennessee (Utah)

  
  

  #4 Arizona State vs. #13 Stephen F. Austin (Arizona State)

  
  

  #6 Florida vs. #11 New Mexico (Florida)

  
  

  #3 Baylor vs. #14 Northern Arizona (Baylor)

  
  

   

  
  

  #5 Kentucky vs. #12 Chattanooga (Kentucky)

  
  

  #4 Michigan State vs. #13 Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Michigan State)

  
  

   

  
  

  #1 LSU vs. #16 Florida Atlantic (LSU)

  
  

  #8 Minnesota vs. #9 Washington (Minnesota)

  
  

  #5 North Carolina State vs. #12 Tulsa (Tulsa)

  
  

  #4 DePaul vs. #13 Liberty (DePaul)

  
  

  #6 Florida State vs. #11 Louisiana Tech (Florida State)

  
  

  #3 Stanford vs. #14 SE Missouri State (Stanford)

  
  

  #7 Bringham Young vs. #10 Iowa (Iowa)

  
  

  #2 Oklahoma vs. #15 Pepperdine (Oklahoma)
