Tourny pick-em help.?

Question

I was wondering if there is any famous analysist that typically has huge sucess come march madness. I am a rookie and got dragged into a field way above my level, and am looking for a bracket that i can use. Is there any out there that you would recomend?

Answer 1

Last year a lot of analysts (SI the magazine I believe also) picked three number one seeds to make the final four... none did. Don't gank someone else's picks... you have 3 days to do some research. I would suggest looking at the teams records, leading stats, and using that for tiebreakers in a decision for games. Also, it would be hugely beneficial if you were to listen to sports talk radio for the next few days. They will not only be giving you some of their picks but they will be analyzing a lot of the games. They could know things you don't about games and introduce a whole new level into games. I really recommend the sports talk radio... but don't cop out and steal someone else's picks. I'll give you a start and help you out with a few games... i pick texas to make it to the final four because they have the best player in the nation in durant. marquette over msu and unc. VCU over duke.

Answer 2

Watch a lot of ESPN College Gamenight. They break down everything you could ever need. Of course, at this point, it's really late so I would just pick teams that you have heard of. You kind of need to pay attention to a complete season in order to make better educated guesses, but in the end, the tournament is a crap shoot. Any team at any point in time can go hot or cold and really ruin a bracket. Take George Mason for instance. Nobody picked them to get that deep. I guess just pick teams for now, and just learn as you go. There is no real secret to any picks since it's a single elimination format.

Answer 3

Dude, there is a reason that nobody is good at this. Any team can win on a given day. It's not uncommon for so-called experts to get blown out of the Final Four in their bracket.

In general, it's next to impossible for anything higher than say a 12 seed to prevail in the first round.

After that, your guess really is as good as the next guys. You can sift through the experts published brackets on ESPN, or SI, but you won't find them to be any better than your guesses.

Listen to sportstalk radio, and form your own opinion.

Answer 4

Hmm, I have never seen a great bracket on the internet. Im sure if you look through filled out brackets on the internet you will be fine. If not, just remember to take lots of 9's over 8's never take a 16 seed, and watch out for Georgetown. Good luck.

Answer 5

There will be plenty of people (professional sports analysts) giving you their opinion of how to pick. CBSSportsline.com breaks down the plus and minuses of each team and the direction the scales swing (in their mind). There are other sites like that, but I find theirs pretty friendly. You can either just use their scales or pick based on the stats they provide. Within a couple days you will be able to log onto any site and they'll show you their writers' picks. (CBSSportsline even tells you the way the majority of those who are playing their tournament have picked if you want to just follow the majority). Good luck and enjoy!

Answer 6

No one ever has huge success.. every one calls themself an 'expert', but good luck... just research my first year i was in an 'expert' league, and finished second, and my second year i was in a league where everyone but me got less than 50% the year before, and finished last... it's a crapshoot.
