Has everyone filled out their brackets yet? Who is the popular choice on this board to win it all this yr? I'm sure you can tell by my avatar who i'm picking, although UNC could potentially have a tough time getting to the final 4 much less winning it all, their region is rough. The madness begins tonight!!!

I think their are more teams this year that could potentially win it all this year than ever before in the tournament. Don't get me wrong, I think Illinois and UNC are the best 2 teams, but there are so many quality teams this year that after the 1st round there aren't too many teams that will have even a halfway easy game the rest of the way. This could get interesting..........

One thing that I meant to add that I forgot. I don't know if anybody else does this but i do it every year and it has helped me win a lot of money in the tourney.

Just like when you play poker and get tells on people, wait until Wednesday to fill out your brackets, and use these 1st round NIT games to your advantage to get tells on which conferences are more strong against others. It's amazing how much this can be used to your advantage for filling out brackets.

Thanks for the info Flee, Ill keep that in mind during the next couple days

I think this years tourney is wide open and its anyones to take, I think this year there is alot more parity than past years, IMO, there are really no dominate teams that I think will steamroll through. Should be interesting, looking forward for it to begin on Thursday

I disagree, BIG...you're right about there being parity in CBB, however that being said, there really are maybe 5 teams i see capable of winning it all....the other good teams out there just aren't good enough to beat enough quality teams in a row....

holla
