Gonzaga loses to Pitt
Michigan to the elite 8

I don't think any of those are bold.

I was gonna say. New Mexico, who arguably could've been a 2, isn't really that bold. Same with Michigan. Pitt over Gonzaga would be bold, kind of.

Louisville, Indiana, Duke and Ohio State in the Final Four. I go in hiding for 3 days and don't watch a second of a Final Four since the first one I watched (1987). This was part of a dream (or nightmare) I had on Friday.

Iona over Ohio State. Facing Sean Armand and MoMo Jones was my biggest nightmare heading into the bracket. Luckily Duke escaped that draw. That's the best 15 seed this season, by far. Armand and Jones are lethal shooters who can drop 30 or 40 with ease. The Buckeyes are playing great right now, though, so it will be a tall task for Tim Cluess' club.
Bo Ryan finally in the Final Four.
Miami reaching the national title game.
Temple or N.C. State over Indiana. I think one No. 1 goes down in the second round this year, and I think this is the best opportunity for that to happen. Then again, IU could easily get to the NCAA final, so I will likely not pick this.

Minnesota will make the final 4. Book it!
Duke will lose the first game.
Louisville won't make the sweet 16.

Minnesota has the talent to do it. I doubt they have the mentality though.

Especially after drawing #12 seed in Cal - at San Jose. How did THAT happen?

1-4 seeds go 15/16 (one 13 wins). Not terribly bold, but with all the parity we talked about this year, you wont see it at the top in RD1
