List breakout or teams players, as well as the duds. Doesn't have to mid major related.

But let's see who can nail some predictions.

Mine:

(Assuming SDKST beats Omaha tonight). Mike Daum puts up the highest point total in a game, but they lose.

This isn't a bold prediction but I really like Villanova to repeat.
I also think gonzaga doesn't make it past sweet sixteen.

A 5-8 seed will win the nat'l 'ship

Smu will make the final four

A 12 doesn't beat a 5 seed

A 2 seed goes down to a 15

Final four has no ACC teams

I know less and less about college basketball each year...but will guess

Syracuse makes Sweet 16

UC wins Rd of 64 game in double OT on 5 late points by Jarron Cumberland

Lonzo goes 15/9/7 in their Rd of 32 loss

Gonzaga makes Final 4 by beating #16, #9, #13 and #7 seeds...then lose to eventual Champions by 13

While not NCAA tournament, on the MAC thread, I listed Kent State (#6 seed) as a dark horse to win it and they did, so that's gotta count for something, right? At least the right to give 3-4 of Sleeper's "I'm always right!" comments.

Gonzaga and Arizona go to OT for a spot in the FF.
Lonzo Ball puts up 50+ assists. Goes back to back 10+ versus UK (win) and UNC (loss).
1/1/2/2 Final Four. No major shocks.

Man that first one sounds like the script they devised when making the brackets.
