If Auburn goes cold from the 3 point line, it's lights out for the Tigers. The Aggies are legit and a sneaky Sweet 16 team considering all the trouble Kansas has away from home this season.

I can't remember the last time a double digit seed mid major team had a really hyped player that ended up pulling the upset. Seems like more often than not these hyped players end up getting shut down


Stephen Curry on the batphone for you.

Upsets I am picking
Belmont over Maryland
Florida over Nevada
Murray St. over Marquette

Upsets I'm not picking but would not surprise me if they happen.

Yale over LSU (The only reason I'm not picking it is because it seems like every single analyst on every single sports network is and when this many analysts all pick the same upset it usually doesn't happen.)

Cal-Irvine over Kansas St. (The whole Dean Wade situation makes it really hard to know exactly what to do with K-State in the brackets. With him and any semblance of consistent offense they could be a sleeper for the Final Four. Without him and any cold shooting game, which they have had many this year--held Tulsa to 47 points and still lost for example, they could be out in the first round. This is the same exact team (no seniors on last year's team and no one transferred out) however that beat Kentucky and went to the Elite 8 last year without Wade. Of course they also got to play a 16 seed in the second round last year too.)

Seton Hall over Wofford

Northeastern over Kansas

New Mexico St. over Auburn (NM St. is a good, good team but this will only happen if Auburn goes something like 3 for 26 from three.)

St. John's over Buffalo

I would like Vermont's chances over any other four seed but Florida St. can throw wave after wave after wave of superior athleticism at them. I don't see any way Vermont can counter this even if Leonard Hamilton coaches like Leonard Hamilton in this game.

This is a good breakdown.

St. John's over Buffalo


I took Buffalo, but St. John's is going to be the hardest team to figure out. They're so damn inconsistent but I've always believed that guards win in March and their backcourt (especially Shamorie Ponds) can matchup with anyone.

LSU-Belmont could be the banana peel the pundits want to see in round 1 from Yale.

I think Nevada is a sweet sixteen team. I like the Wolfpack to beat UF

kind of a myth. kansas has had trouble on the road, and not a lot of trouble neutral. first neutral loss out of like 6 or 7 was in the big 12 title game.

i don't like this kansas team either, but it's laughable the hate they are getting. they are actually great value to take to the sweet 16 at this point. they've also won 12 straight first round games. #FadeThePublic

Have you seen odu?

Purdue has a giant center.

How about Marquette? What is status of hand injury of pg?
Marquette was top 10 before injury.
