Here are some things I see happening, and some thoughts on these brackets. There are going to be tons of "upsets" this year.

Early round upsets...
Weber St. over Wisky: Wisky is so vulnerable, and they peaked at wrong time. Weber can definitely beat them.

Tulsa over Dayton: Tulsa has the squad to make a nice run. They disappointed this year a bit, but got their act together late.

Bama will blast IU: Not really an upset, but I think this game is a matchup nightmare for IU. In the past, teams that many think shoudnt get in win their first game.

Memphis to beat ASU, then Kansas: As many know, I am not high on this Jayhawk team at all. I think Memphis is the last thing they wanted to see in the second round. They have depth, and matchup well with the Jayhawks. I think Memphis will knock KU out early.

San Diego over Stanford: Stanford just isnt that good, period. San Diego always plays well against the Pac10, and I think they win that game.

Manhattan over Syracuse: Im not saying this will happen, but I think Jaspers have a great shot. They have already taken other Big East foes Hall and Johns this yeat. Syracuse, in my opinion, is nothing to write home about.

Miss St. to the Final Four: Oklahomo worst #1 seed in my opinion. I dont think this bracket is as great as everyone else does. I dont see Louisville doing much damage, and they are going to have a very hard time matching up inside against Bulldogs. I really like the way this team is coming on and think they make a deep run.

Just some early thoughts...more later this week!
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I agree w Weber St, Tulsa & Bama as mild upsets.

My early thoughts on who advances are--

Louisville to knock off Oklahoma -- then face St. Joes, Wake or Cuse. I think Cuse advances to the Final 4.

UConn/Texas winner v Maryland in the Elite 8! I like the Longhorns!

A mini Final 4 in the West! Arizona v Illinois & Duke v Kansas! Arizona beats Duke to go to the real Final 4.

My shocker is Oregon to beat Kentucky, then Tulsa! Pitt outlasts Marquette, then Oregon to go to the Final 4!

So I guess my Final 4 is Syracuse, Texas, Arizona & Pitt!

Arizona cuts down the nets!
