3rd round upset special

[itsallaboutme]

I pick Louisville to upset Florida in 4 games.

I don't think that would be a huge upset, in my opinion. I think both teams are pretty good. At least they should get to play in front of a real crowd, as I assume some of the many thousand Nebraska fans will show up for the first match.

That picture is so wrong in so many ways.
Excellent.

I was thinking the same thing as I double took. :-)

UCLA over Nebraska.

I'm not saying it would happen. I'm saying the upset would be "special" if it DID happen.

Ditto for:

Purdue over Washington
Ohio over Arizona
Tennessee over Penn State

[simplycurious]

I actually think Ohio over Arizona is possible and wouldn't put it in the same category as UW/Purdue, PSU/TN or NE/UCLA. Here is my reasoning: volleytalk.proboards35.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1133856224

(It's near the bottom of the page, right before Wolfgang and pineapple hijacked my thread! )

I don't expect Arizona to implode as their recent "history" suggests (in your previous hijacked post). This is a core of seniors that were in the Final Four as freshmen. They were able to play with nothing to lose at that point, but that built expectations.

Now, as seniors, they are in a unique position of being in a nothing to lose position again.

I expect Ohio to be happy about making the Sweet 16, but the Pac-10's dominance and 'aura' will likely overwhelm them along with high-caliber players such as Glass.


I am actually looking to UCLA as being a potential upsetter of Nebraska. If UCLA fires on all cylinders, they have proven they can beat anyone in the country. They are also very well coached and because of that will stay close regardless of individual performances. But... if a handful of UCLA players play all-worldly, then and with a little luck, it could be a very long night for Nebraska.

Kim Glass and her fellow teammates have never been to a Final Four. They arrived on campus the year after Burkholder took them to the promised land. They've been to two Elite Eights (and lost in the second round to USD last year) but never to the Final Four.

So, #2, #6 and #7 go down tonight in what can be considered 1 major upset and 2 minor upsets.
