WVU , Gonzaga, & Washington going to win a few rounds... not sure if there are many sleepers this year. Atleast how the seeds have been laid out. IMO
VILLANOVA will NOT be going to the final four. NEXT YEAR IS THEIR YEAR. they might not make it to the sweet 16. IMO

agree with you... that region is weak.
Uconn has yet to really impress me without dyson.
I saw memphis twice this year live..and felt they weren't a very good team.
However, I don't feel Purdue is much better than either one of those teams
I think Mizzou has just a good enough chance as the rest of them.
It's hard to believe the selection committee feels that each bracket has equal weight in good teams. The East is loaded as is the South and Midwest.
I would think if UConn was the last No.1 seed, they should have had the tougher time of the other 3 1 seeds

Nice to see a few of you touting my alma mater Vikings. I'm really curious to see what that line will be against Wake (I'll guess Wake -8, but I'm hoping it's much higher). I hope CSU doesn't lose some of their intensity during their week off, but if they play the kind of defense they have been for the last few weeks, there could be some real value there. And if the Vikings do beat Wake, they have a real legit shot at making the sweet 16.
Think Utah St. could give Marquette a game...a story of two teams kind of going in opposite directions. Utah St. won 30 games this year while Marquette went on a terrible losing streak at the end of the year.
Definitely agree with Hamboner...I can see Michigan St. being one of the few teams who gets sent home early. Right now, I'd probably take either BC or SC against them.
I wouldn't be floored if Texas A&M managed to beat UConn in round 2.
Might the Michigan-Clemson winner give the Sooners some trouble in the second round?
I'm picking Louisville as my national champion. Think this is the year they finally pull it all together.
