Very tough this year.
I think this is a down year in college basketball, so I think a bunch of teams could make a run at this thing.
I will say Cornell to the Sweet Sixteen.

I wanted to take either Cornell or Northern Iowa or St. Mary's or Richmond, to me any one of those teams could have made a run.
I didn't like seeing Temple vs. Cornell or Richmond vs. St. Mary's. To me either one of those teams could have topped a big boy on the first day of the tourney. Its almost as if the NCAA didn't want to see any of those teams separately make a run and ruin the big Sweet 16 or Elite 8 plans the NCAA has if everyone were to win out with the top seeds. Its like they said, "instead of all these teams potentially making a run, we'll make the four of you play each other, so if it happens only 2 of you could potentially ruin brackets across America."

Duke- The lowely stepsister who with the help of their fairy godmother come out on top. 
As for an acutally Cinderella team I need to look over the brackets as a whole to see what I think.

Yeah I hate Duke. Why do you care so bad? You are following me around everywhere I post just to put that. Thanks for the attention though.

Homer pick, but how can you not like a ND team who has won 6 of their last seven (Pitt X2 including once by 15, @ Marquette, @ Georgetown by 16, UConn, Seton Hall) with a loss at the buzzer to WVU in the BE semis?

How about Texas A&M? Sleeper Final Four pick with the Regional in Houston. Same could go for Baylor.

A 6 seed from the Big East cannot be a Cinderella in my opinion.athlete37 wrote: Homer pick, but how can you not like a ND team who has won 6 of their last seven (Pitt X2 including once by 15, @ Marquette, @ Georgetown by 16, UConn, Seton Hall) with a loss at the buzzer to WVU in the BE semis?

Old Dominion, Cornell, Utah State, UTEP, and Murry State I feel could all make runs to the sweet 16 or further.

Darkhouse deep run team I guess is what I meant. I don't like potentially playing Nova in the sweet 16, but I guess I'd be happy if we made it that far

I like Murray State and Siena to potentially run to a Sweet 16

You like playing Nova as much as I like playing Pitt. Being a 6 seed blows.athlete37 wrote: Darkhouse deep run team I guess is what I meant. I don't like potentially playing Nova in the sweet 16, but I guess I'd be happy if we made it that far

I have 8 Upsets in the first round in my 1st bracket I just did on Facebook lol. I like the stats that facebook give you about your picks. I also have Cornell in the Elite 8.

I'm not sure if they count since they are from a major conference, but I too think Texas can surprise some folks.
