"Drafted" Tourney Picks

The Sports Guys are doing something different this year. Instead of having the traditional bracket challenge, we instead conducted a draft. In this draft, we chose one team at each seed that we think could perform well. It was a snake style draft, and we could pick any team in any order. It was very strategic.

Scoring is simple... Every time one of our teams wins a game, we get a point. Most points at the end wins! If we happen to be tied at the end, the tiebreaker will be who owned the team that advanced the furthest. Here are the teams:

Greg's Team                                                 Andrew's Team

1. Kentucky                                                   1. Wisconsin

2. Arizona                                                      2. Virginia

3. Iowa State                                                  3. Notre Dame

4. Maryland                                                    4. Louisville

5. Northern Iowa                                            5. Arkansas

6. Providence                                                 6. SMU

7. Wichita State                                              7. Michigan State

8. Cincinnati                                                   8. NC State

9. LSU                                                            9. Purdue

10. Ohio State                                                10. Indiana

11. Texas                                                        11. Ole Miss

12. Buffalo                                                     12. Stephen F. Austin

13. UC Irvine                                                 13. Eastern Washington

14. Northeastern                                             14. Georgia State

15. New Mexico State                                    15. Texas Southern

16. Lafayette                                                   16. North Florida/Robert Morris

Interesting to note, we are actually going head to head in a few different spots in the first round. Those games will clearly be key. And there could be plenty more head to head matchups as the tourney progresses. Keep an eye out!
