Here are a few of mine (14) Wright State over (3) Pitt (13) Holy Cross over (4) Southern Illinois (12 Arkansas over (5) USC (11) GW over (6) Vandy What are some of yours?
11 VCU over 6 Duke 11 Stanford over 6 Louisville 11 Winthrop over 6 Notre Dame 12 Old Dominion over 5 Butler Not to mention all 10's beat 7's, IMO.
Nah I heard a 12 always beats a 5 12 Old DOminon over 5 Butler 10 GT over 7 UNLV 10 Creighton over 7 Nevada
#11 Winthrop over #6 Notre Dame - I don't really understand how you give Winthrop a lower seed than Gonzaga. That's saying that if neither one won their conference tournaments, then Winthrop would be out and Gonzaga would be in. Yes, Winthrop doesn't have any marquee wins, but they don't have any bad losses either. All of their losses were to very respectable clubs (UNC at the last minute, Wisconsin in OT, Maryland, and Texas A&M). Forget their resume for a minute though, this team is low on talent but high on structure, like I was saying about Purdue in another thread. Not too many teams can hang with them from the outside either. This team can straight up shoot the lights out. #10 Georgia Tech over #7 UNLV - A real bummer matchup here, because I am really high on both of these teams. Preseason I was thinking of Georgia Tech as a potential Final Four team, and I still think they have that potential actually with all the talent and the way they've played down the stretch. At the same time, UNLV is legit and probably should have gotten a #3 or #4 seed. They got shafted having to play Georgia Tech in the first round. Still, I can't do anything to change the match-ups, and I think Georgia Tech compares favorably in this one. And then I'm going back and forth between the following - #15 North Texas over #2 Memphis #14 Wright State over #3 Pittsburgh #13 New Mexico State over #4 Texas #11 George Washington over #6 Vanderbilt #11 Stanford over #6 Louisville
old dominion over butler georgia tech over unlv gonzaga over indiana Xavier over BYU Winthrop over Notre Dame George Washington over Vandy
Old Dominion over Butler Georgia Tech over UNLV VCU over Duke Stanford over Louisville Winthrop over ND
I've got... Purdue (9) over Zona (8) Old Dominion (12) over Butler (5) - I really like Butler's 3pt shooters, but they've faded down the stretch Winthrop (11) over Notre Dame (6) - I realize that everyone on the planet wants to see ND vs. Oregon, but Winthrop shoots the three even BETTER than the Irish Villanova (9) over Kentucky (8) Virginia Commonwealth (11) over Duke (6) - Every time I pick Duke to lose, they win every damn year Texas Tech (10) over Boston College (7) - I'll be rooting for BC, if it's any consolation Stanford (11) over L'ville (6) - Louisville got screwed - as strong as they finished, they should've had a 5 or better Creighton (10) over Nevada (7) - I really hope the Blue Jays pull this one out, because I'm thinking they might take out Memphis in the next round

I'm calling Long Beach State to upset Tennessee. Another long shot is Davidson taking out Maryland. They matchup well with the Terps, and former NBA 3point specialist Del Curry's son, leads Davidson. He's a carbon copy of his father, and if he gets hot from the perimeter he could shoot Davidson past Maryland. Daryl Strawberry's son (DJ Strawberry) v. Del Curry's son (Stephen Curry)
#12 Old Dominion over #5 Butler #11 Wintrop over #6 Norte Dame #10 Georgia Tech over #7 UNLV #12 Arkansas over #5 USC #14 Oral Roberts over #3 Washington St. #9 Xavier over #9 BYU #10 Crieghton over #7 Nevada
Im really liking Standford's chances, they got a real favorable draw getting the Cardinals. Also, I think Albany will take down Virgina. Virgina is a streaky team, and they haven't been playing well as of late.

Albany made the tourny by beating a very good Vermont team. I remember watching Vermont earlier in the year against Michigan State and thinking they had serious cinderella potential, so Albany knocking them off says a hell of a lot on their behalf. Virginia is also, as you said, streaky, and that's largely due to the streakiness of Sean Singletary. If he's having an off night, so with the Cavs, because he takes so many of their shots. I don't want to call him a hacker, because that's a little too harsh, but it's sad that a team with so much well-rounded talent on their roster has to rely so much on one player.
