I'm not saying 12s don't beat 5s. I'm saying if there is one

12 v 5 pick that everyone zeroes in on (by everyone I mean a majority of the media), that it seems like that particular 12 v 5 doesn't turn out to be an upset.

Wait...the McGriddle stops there, or the train stops at McDs? I'm confused.

Part of the reason they don't pan out is coaches can show their players

a 12 has beaten a 5 in every single NCAA tournament since it went to 64 teams.

Utah will win. They are a good team.

Utah is a great defensive team. The are not good on offense at all.

Lance71

3/17/15 11:14am

Ken Pom has them as the 18th most efficient offense in the country

BYUheaven

3/17/15 11:16am

Then whatever that means, it's not a good stat. Utah is terrible at offense

TrueAndBlue

It means they play REALLY SLOW and are BORING but they score at a high

Does that dirty feeling that you get when a Ute fan gives your post a thumbs up

BYUheaven

And he has them as 322 for offensive tempo.

The speed at which you score has nothing to do with whether or not you score

Possessions include rebounds and turnovers. The team that wins will be the team

They've had some absolute dud games this year on offense, for sure.

Hasn't the 12 beat the 5 like 60% the past 5 years or something?

Walter Bellhaven

3/17/15 11:15am

opposite. the 12 has a 44/76 record vs the 5. Still almost 40% though

BlueFrog

3/17/15 11:19am

54% the past 5 years, though

BlueFrog

3/17/15 11:24am

Only 2 since 1989

rggee

3/17/15 11:24am

BlueFrog

3/17/15 11:25am

75% the past 2 years.

Do a little research and get back to us on picks that don't pan out. I can

There are so many "experts" outs there publicly picking upsets that every upset

Stephen F. Austin was the popular #12 seed upset last year

Matchups. I don't think I could think of 2 teams more different than VCU & Utah

rcbyufan

3/17/15 11:57am

I picked Utah over SF Austin and Baylor over BYU

BYUCougarsFan

I would say that your goggles are still on picking us to beat Ole Miss & Xavier

Not true. 12 has beaten 5 nearly 50% of the time in the past 10 yrs
