Usually, I only pick one 12 to beat a 5. Right now, I have Cornell beating Temple, but I am going back and forth.


As for the other matchups,

I think Mich St. will handle New Mexico St.
I have A&M going pretty far (Elite 8)
Butler and UTEP can go either way too.


Your thoughts?

I think A&M is the most likely to get upset...

IF UTEP can get going, they can easily make a run to the Sweet 16. I like Butler, but UTEP is horribly underseeded.

Cornell is also underseeded, but so is Temple. That could go either way, but I think we may be reading too much into Cornell playing Kansas close. I love Utah St's deliberate style, but A&M likes to play that style as well, so its a terrible matchup for them.

Michigan St should kill NM St. That's the only 5-12 where I can't see how the upset would happen. I'm going with UTEP.

Utah St to the sweet 16. Also, Old Dominion over ND.

(12)UTEP over (5)Butler {Got UTEP facing Cuse in the Sweets. Battle of the Orange.}

(12)Cornell over (5)Temple {I want to pick the Big Red to beat Sconsin, but Coach Bo and Sconsin are always pesky in the tourny and win a couple.}

I also like some 13 seeds...

(13)Murray St over (4)Vandy
(13)Sienna over (4)Purdue

Vandy and Purdue are two overrated 4 seeds I see losing early. They should have been down around 7 seeds.

Honestly, I like EVERY 11 seed. Obviously, I won't pick all of them, but I wouldn't be shocked if every 6 seed lost.

Butler is for real. So is UTEP.

Cornell HC is a former assistant under the Temple HC. Temple has better players.

Everyone is saying UTEP as the most likely team...the CUSA was VERYY weak this year, and UTEP struggled against some horrible teams in alot of games...but they have the capability of pulling off some upsets

That being said, Butler is probably one of the most dangerous teams in the entire tourney, and they could easily be higher than a 5 seed...I think Butler takes care of UTEP
