Cool NCAA basketball "sleepers"
Which teams do you like pulling off the upset in the early rounds?

My four are - St.Joes, Siena, Baylor & Arizona.

A team I sort of like is Winthrop. I think they will give Wash St a very very good game. St Joe's v Oklahoma is an interesting game as well.

Davidson over Gonzaga. But what about the Mayo v Beasley matchup.

Temple over Mich State and St Mary's over Miami

Baylor over Purdue

All 4 opponents of higher seeded big 10 teams. 2 of them minimum will win and most likely 3 of them will.

I 2nd that. I also toss any team that Illinois played well against. Arizona being one of them. Maybe they are a different team now but when Illinos played them Az was not the better team.

Western Kentucky +12
330/300

This is my 3rd bet on basketball this year. I could be way off on this one but giving 12 points to a team that can shoot is crazy. UCLA can't score!!
