I'm a little confused about the alternate team, specifically when we should choose that team.

The idea was a single alternate to be picked and inserted the round AFTER you lose your first team.

Do you think we should just let the 5 picks ride?

I will go with:
1) ULL
2) Nevada
3) UTEP
4) Creighton
5) LSU

Chant: Let it ride! Let it ride! Let it ride!

Why the heck not, and we can pick a 6th after we lose one! WE can just call it...lagniappe!

"Thanks "lxa" for being the only other Cajun to pick UAB. I honor that"

Sure thing buddy! After all i really do feel as though that will be a first round upset, and I am not doing it as a tigger hater but as a historical point.
LSU A&M has historically not done well in the NCAA tournament and dont feel this year will be any different. It is a first for many, if not all, of their players. Also, CUSA tends to play well in the tourney and feel at least 2 of the 4 will win in the first round, if not 3...and with Louisville going down in round 1; hey someone in CUSA needs to step up and win!

I vote for no mulligans. But heck, I don't like them in golf either.
