I'm thinking that more than half of the Big East teams go down in Round 1 or Round 2. I think the big shocker of the 1st round is that UConn gets taken out by Bucknell. I also could see North Carolina getting a real scare from Long Island, the recent Tarheel M.O. of playing like crap for 20-30 minutes and then going on a huge run is going to bite them and soon. I know it's a trendy pick, but I see Wisconsin going down to Belmont as well

That said, though I see a lot of Big East teams going down, I agree with those above who have Louisville going deep. I wouldn't be surprised to see them win the whole thing. A lot of pundits have Morehead St. as a Cinderella, but I fail to see how a team with a assist/turnover ratio of less than 1 playing mostly substandard opponents will be able to handle the Louisville press.
It already bit them,bit them against Duke.Now they are over it and are poised to be the Champs!

Wisconsin over Belmont is a pretty big shocker considering everyone and their brother had Belmont! :)

Nothing too shocking for me. Have Gonzaga in the sweet 16 over BYU in the 2nd round. Have Washington over North Carolina, Xavier beating Syracuse and Xavier in the Elite 8. I have Notre Dame to win it all.
