What was the most DIFFICULT game for you to pick?

The one that you changed 5 or 6 times....

For me, it was the potential (probable but hopeful) second round matchup with Michigan State and Syracuse. My heart lies with MSU, and I never imagine them losing in the 2nd round to anyone any year, but SU is clearly the better team. One good thing is, if MSU loses, I don't mind it being to SU. I love to watch that team play.

After much inner debate, stastical analysis, and emotional toiling, I took MSU to advance. There's a lot of money in the pool I'm in this year, so I stayed away from "sentimental" picks for the most part, with the lone exception being this game.

Louisville is rolling right now. I have them winning that region.

The toughest game for me was Charlotte-NC State. Charlotte has played pretty badly the last couple of weeks, but they are a team that can do some damage if they hit the three's. Still, I see NC State shutting them down.

The games that I changed more than any other game when I was filling out my shit were:

Iowa / Cincy... I took Iowa.
Bama / UWM... I took Bama.
LSU / UAB... I took LSU.
Kentucy / EKU... I finally switched it to Kentucky yesterday morning.
And, in Second Round action, OU / Utah. I think I have it at OU now, but I switched that game every single time I looked at my bracket.

The 7-10s and 8-9s are always a bitch every year. I finish .500 with those games after the first weekend, I'm happy. I usually favor the big conference teams in those games but that's probably part of my problem.

The 5/12s were all hard, just because you know there's going to be an upset or two. So far I'm 0/2 on those games.

I picked all the 9s over the 8s w/o even realizing it. I'm 3/3 in that regard.

But the one I mulled over the longest was probably the S. Illinois vs. St. Mary's game. How can there be two "underdogs" in one game?

I ended up getting it right, though.
