Best first-round game

(8) LSU vs. (9) St. Bonaventure: The entertainment value on LSU alone is worth noting in your bracket, as evidenced by not only the SEC Tournament final against Alabama, but by a season's worth of fielding a top-five offense, an up-tempo pace and multiple elite weapons with Cam Thomas, Javonte Smart and Trendon Watford. St. Bonaventure doesn't necessarily bring the same high-powered attack, but it's got a defense that could cause some problems for LSU and enough gamers to hang in a shot-making contest down the stretch.
