Vandy/Richmond might be very interesting. I didn't pull the trigger on the upset, but I thought about it.

I got Richmond. Not sold, and havent been in recent years on Vandy. I have Richmond and Utah St as my 12/5 upsets.

The other 3 games will be snoozers, imo.

Kentucky, Pittsburgh, and San Diego State will cruise, and I also have Richmond over Vanderbilt.

I think Northern Colorado might hang in with SDSU.

I like Pitt to get up big. They seem to play well in opening round games as high seeds. Its after that they struggle.

Que the facts that prove me wrong, caus eIm sure I am.

Kentucky and Pitt are struggling, really surprising.

The Richmond/ Vandy winner might have an easy road to the Sweet 16 with 'Ville out.

UNC-Asheville has played pretty well. Princeton and KU should be a great game I could see this one coming down to the buzzer.

Pitt will pull away in the 2nd half and win by 20+.

UK needs the freshmen to wake up in a hurry.

Even though I have Pitt in the final four I would love to see them go down today.

Kentucky is in real trouble.
6-0 run by Princeton has them up by 5.
