Yup I picked UConn in a group of like 25 people cause I knew no one else picked them so as long as they won I’d win it all and that’s exactly what happened cause another year when I pick the right team someone else has a better bracket than mine last year I was the only one to pick the winner
FYI Steve forgot to add Creighton to the list of teams that lost the first game of their conference tournament. So even though they profile really well, probably shouldn't have them winning it all in your bracket.
And prediction shows like this are why people shouldn't gamble. Sorry Steve, I listen to you regularly but when it comes to the vice of gambling I learned my lesson decades ago. Incidentally, I picked Auburn to lose, Drake to win, GCU to win, and Tennessee to go all the way. But I also picked Kentucky, Florida, Nebraska, and Wisconsin to advance. And was happy to see Kentucky lose but very surprised that the others didn't win even one game.
The NIT: 2 thoughts…1) think of it as an emergency 9 at the country club. It is for losers to salvage something. 2) As a Buckeye, I am glad OSU is in the NIT this year. Great opportunity to install his system and culture before next year. Overall, there are some reasons to play, but have to agree with Steve, the NIT is a “yawner”.
