Triple Take, Round 2: A close eye on the road

In seven instances last weekend, the road team (and by inference, the lower-seeded team) upended their opponents, with the victories coming by an average of 13 points each. Six of those teams will be on the road again, while St. Thomas this time gets a home opportunity. How many upsets are in store this time around?

Although every year we say these picks aren’t a competition between the three of us but rather a gauge of what we expect to happen, Pat Coleman clearly had the best foresight for Round 1. He nailed the winners of all the games in the West, and came out ahead of Keith McMillan and far ahead of me in the overall number right.

Still, we go at it again, on a week when the ASC and MAC remain the only conferences with two teams still in the dance.
