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.

Purdue, South Alabama and Oral Roberts to play Pitt real tough. St. Mary's should handle Miami.

I am obviously bias to Memphis being that they are a $1600 payday for me but my final four is....

North Carolina, Memphis, UCLA and Georgetown....

I think UConn will give UCLA a run in the Sweet 16, Purdue will give Duke a run in that other game. Georgetown should destory Kansas in that round, if Kansas even makes it that far, Clemson is no joke this year and could beat them, and NC does not have an easy run as in their bracket there are many teams that can really drain (Tennessee, Louisville, Butler, Notre Dame) and how about them possibly having to play Indiana, who was ranked like 5th at one time this year, all they are lacking is focus, which sometimes gets turned on when it is tourney time.

I think Memphis drew pretty well all things considered, there are no world beaters in that bracket.

Your crack smoking totally makes sense to me. This explains tons. However, I have no excuse.
