    Which #1 Seed Falls First.......and why?

    Is it, Kansas, UNC, Virginia, or Oregon? This year full of upsets, will the tournament follow suit or will the top seeds advance? Most I would say are filling out brackets full of major upsets and have unexpected teams in the final 4. Anyone have a #1 bowing out against a #16?

    For me it's Virginia or Oregon. Virginia could have a game they can't makes shots and Oregon, not sure they can handle the pressure of being the target as #1 seed

    I think St. Joe's takes out Oregon in the second round. The Hawks don't turn the ball over much and when their shot is falling they can take out anyone. They should have been ranked higher than an 8. Of course they have to get past Cinncinnati first and the Bearcats could also do the deal.

    Oregon seems to be the obvious choice

    Very talented team, but they lack floor leadership and great coaching. Trimble needs to have more of a killer instinct. More than likely, a 2nd round out.

    Meaning they underachieve and choke. Nobody does less with more talent than Bill Self & Roy Williams. They go out to UCONN or Cal.

    I can't pass them up either.
    Concerning 1 seeds I have them all advancing to FF
    except Oregon who will lose to Baylor.

    2010 and 2011 were bad. 2014 they were missing their best player. 2015 team wasn't that good.

    KU will make the Final Four. Probably make it to the Championship.

    Lol. UConn. That's hilarious. UConn probably won't even win their first game. Cal could beat them but Cal is really good. They were a top 10 team the last month of the season.

    What has Iowa State done the last few years? Didn't they lose to UAB in the first round last year? At least Kansas has won a title and been to another championship game since Self has been there.

    Maryland blows dude, one of the more overrated teams in the country. Couldn't be anymore soft and I have been saying since day one that Trimble is probably the second over hyped player in the country right behind Simmons. Guy turns the ball over all the time and goes 2/14 from the field every game. If they make it out of the first weekend I would be shocked
