    Which 1-4 seeds most llikely to go down in 1st?
    Here are my 3 that I feel could go down in the 1st round (and yeah, I'm serious about Stanford possibly losing if Cornell can get really, really hot):
    Wazzou, Stanford, Vandy

    P.S. If Stanford wins that first game, they could be elite-8 bound, playing against Marquette and Texas (2 teams that would struggle with the Lopez twins' height).

      Vanderbilt yep. I am taking a flier on the Siena ML for sure.
      Now that I've said that Vandy probably rolls.

        Cornell has zero size, so I don't see that one myself. Based strictly on match-ups, I think these teams could be in for tough games and won't be shocked if at least one of them loses.

        Boise State [Louisville]
        Siena [Vanderbilt]
        Belmont [Duke]

          True, but they shoot lights out. If they can really get hot, and maybe get Lopez in foul trouble...

              Still can't see it myself. Look at when they played Duke [Cornell]. They shot 46% from 3 and still lost by 14 pts. They'd have to have an '85 Villanova FG shooting % to win this and Stanford would have to be in the gutter I think. Wouldn't mind Cornell and the points mind you.

                I am sincerely interested in hearing why you think they are garbage.

                  Drake is a #5, so that doesn't really fit into the concept of this thread about seeds 1-4 does it?

                    You are WAY off base there! Siena is one of the most underrated teams in the country and I have them beating Vandy in the first round myself.

                        the only impressive win siena has had all year was at home vs stanford early on in the season and blowing boise state out AT boise state...any team that manhattan college has beaten is garbage....the majority of vandy's success has come at home, so they are not a viable tourny team, which is why they will lose in the 2nd round to george mason

                          and deutchbag, none of the 1-4 seeds look like theyre going to lose in the first round, but if i had to pick a 5th seed, western kentucky is who id pick...dumbass

                              I think all teams 1-4 will get by the first round...it's the 2nd round where things will start to happen.

                                Beating two other tourney teams, one on the road, isnt enough to convince you they dont blow?

                                  I just checked my brackets and Vanderbilt is the only top 4 seed I have losing in the first round.

                                    I have Vandy losing in 1 and Wazzou in another. The Stanford thing is more of a wishful thinking gesture on my part as a Horns fan. I wanted UT to avoid 2 teams that I thought could be potential 3 seeds: Stanford and Georgetown. Stanford is the absolute worst possible matchup for Texas, in my opinion.

                                      Though we DID manage to get the 1 seed that I think we have the best chance of beating (even though we've beat two of the other 3 1's this year).

                                            big deal, they beat two tourny teams....how many tourny teams has vandy beat????? do i have to remind you of vandys spanking of tennessee?? i think all of you forgot that...gee whiz i forgot stanford and boise f'n state were suchhhhh amazing teams that makes siena so unbeatable...vandy has played 10-12 tourny teams winning 7 times...vandy's schedule is on a whole different level then siena's...say what you want about vandy's homecourt playing a big role in their victories, siena is just too weak....

                                            rofl, beating two tourny teams and you guys are all over siena's dick....sh1t, rutgers beat two tourny teams (and one of which was on the road) why arent you all petitioning that they deserve to be in the tourny

                                                      Call me crazy but I really like Portland St. ATS against Kansas. Not saying that they'll win SU, but I think it'll be more of a game than people expect...

                                                        I just got a prop at -135 that all 1,2,3 seeds will all advance to the second round.

                                                        I saw a similar prop that at least one #4 will get upset in the first round getting +105. I could also take -135 that the #4 seeds will all advance past the first round. I can't really see an edge on either side of this one.
