Pick an upset today
Who do you think will go down when they aren't supposed to go down today.

10) FIU vs. 2) UTEP
6) MTSU vs 3) ODU
4) UAB vs 5) WKU
1) LT vs. 9) Rice

My upset pick is Rice over La Tech.

BTW, UAB is 5-4 against the remaining field.

FIU. They had problems with foul trouble and missed a bunch of easy shots. Get it cleaned up, and they can take down UTEP.

I'd go with FIU over UTEP. UTEP has been really inconsistent. Some of that can be contributed to injuries, but they usually lose when I think they're a lock. ODU needs make it to the final to even have a chance of being an at-large pick, and I'm expecting LT to dispose of Rice.

FIU is seemingly finding themselves at just the right time, I think they could take down UTEP if the Miners aren't prepared.

My upset pick is Ray Watts, unhappy over the mighty crowd chanting his name.

WKU over UAB but I dont think that would be considered an upset because we had the same record. My pick would be MTSU over ODU.

If a gun were to my head and I had to pick an upset, I would definitely pick WKU over UAB. We are the two most evenly matched teams in terms of seeding. That said, I think FIU or MTSU have a decent shot at an upset.

I'm not surprised at all by who is picking against UAB.

RE: Pick an upset today
LOL.

Anyone in their right mind who was asked who the most likely upset today would be would have to say WKU. The higher seeds than us are clearly better than the teams they are playing. I think we are better than WKU and should beat them. That doesn't mean it will be an easy game. We come in with no momentum and an injured starting center.

I wouldn't bet against UAB, but if I was an unbiased guy who was posed this question and asked to put money on it, I'd undoubtedly say WKU was the likeliest team to upset the higher seed.

That is no way is saying that I want that to happen. I have planned a trip to Birmingham to see us play in and win this tournament. I desperately want us to win.

I'm not a completely illogical and unrealistic UAB homer, and that offends some people. Oh well.

I didn't say I was offended, just unsurprised.

Should have known UTEP was going to win the moment I made that post.

The only real upset left would be Rice taking out LT. That'd be crazy.

We are such a different team outside of Bartow. If this tournament were truly played at home I'd bet on us winning this thing all day. If we win tonight and look good doing it then I like our chances the next 2 games, especially if Mehenti plays healthy and productive.
