11 Dayton(25-10) vs 10 Stanford(23-12) 7:15 ET CBS

6 Baylor(26-11) vs 2 Wisconsin(28-7) 7:47 ET TBS

4 UCLA (28-8) vs 1 Florida (34-2) 9:45 ET CBS

4 San Diego State vs 1 Arizona (32-4) 10:17 ET TBS

I'm taking Stanford, Wisconsin, Florida & Arizona.

The one game where I could see the potential upset is Arizona/SDSU. Steve Fisher's teams are always ready to play. If they get past tonight's game their road to the championship is pretty easy.

Not buying UCLA or Baylor, they're playing well at the moment. But the better team will win these games. Stanford should use their size in the paint tonight, plus Dayton has won both games on to defensive last second stops. Their run ends tonight.

Stanford, Wisconsin, UCLA and Arizona (SDSU keeps it close till very end)

Have a feeling Anderson might go off tonight vs UF.

going out on a limb there with those picks

I think Stanford wins by double digits.

Wisconsin and Baylor go to OT and Baylor wins

UCLA keeps it close versus Florida but the Gators prevail by 5 or so at the end

SDSU with the upset versus Zona. They played a pretty close game the third game of the season, so it will be interesting to see if this one is also close.

I just can't see SDSU's offense generating enough points against Zona's stout D. I think Zona forces some turnovers and gets some transition points. Missing free throws and foul trouble is the only way I see SDSU staying in the game.

Dayton (not very confident)
Wisky (not very confident)
Zona
UF

Going to be hard.

This will keep SDSU in the game.

Dayton
I picked Wisconsin, but I think Baylor is just super hot right now

UF smothers UCLA
Zona smother SDST...Zona has some freaking studs. It's not even fair on defense. Every guy looks the part of an NBA lottery pick

How do you think the crowd will be in Anaheim with a team from San Diego nearby? Or will it be pro Zona?

prob more slanted to SDST, but Zona will have a lot of fans there, and might outnumber SDST, since they were probably anticipating going that far.

50/50.

It's the largest UA alumni area and is pro PAC12.

Stanford over Dayton by 10+
Baylor over Wisconsin in a close one
Florida over UCLA by 7-8
Arizona over SDSU by 15+

Only worry out of these games is whether or not Baylor is hitting their shots like they have been the rest of the tourney. When they get hot like that, it's near impossible to keep up
