          other than wyo who i think has very little chance (def less than odds suggest imo) i like a great deal of your list. i could do w/o davidson cause they simply have done nothing away from their gym, iowa is a constant headache for me tho so not like im against ya besides in brackets..

          other than yours i like buffalo a great deal.

                    i like wyo as much as the next guy but they got screwed drawing a team that should have been a 3 or 4 seed and a team that plays their style better than they do.. i rode wyo all the way thru the mw tourney and really wanted to play them another gm or 2 but i dont get why ya'll think they beating uni?

                          I have UNI moving on in my bracket but I do have them favored by -9.5 on paper so I am questioning why Vegas has them on sale

                          as far as Iowa, its about how they played on neutral courts, 0-4 just hope they cont. that theme

                          Buffalo I avoided because of the amount of turn overs WV consistently gets

                                  I am on Northeastern +12.5 but I highly doubt they win outright. I have Notre Dame in my Elite Eight.

                                  I like Eastern Washington, have them as bracket upset.

                                  Looking forward to next round when Wichita State upsets Kansas.

                                              Going to be a good game. I still see UNI winning but I'm liking the cowboys coming off a hard fought win vs SDSU and if Nance Jr is at his peak I think he can out duel Tuttle.

                                                hmm, i dunno. that gm is gonna be the definition of slow. hard to make a huge line in a gm that most likely is played in the 50s. besides that i think wyo is just getting respect they deserve as a team that really only played poorly when several players including their leader had mono. they healthy and everyone saw them win the mw, they the sexy 12/5 matchup, and uni isnt exactly a household name. then i look around and i see wvu, terps, utah, all with close to or lesser spreads, barely even a number to cover once you get to the 6/11 gms, i dont think the number is all that suspect.. i backed wyo all thru the mw tourney and would have loved to back them another gm or 2 but i think they got a raw deal here as uni should have been at least a 4 if not a 3 imo. i think to pull upsets you have to bring something unique to the table and all wyo is is a lessor version of uni imo, i think that makes this pretty unlikely. i hope anyway cause i have uni going pretty far, lol...

                                                i have no interest in iowa from a betting standpoint. there a lot of teams i would have played against iowa with, davidson just isnt one of them. im not sold and while they were great to me from a ats standpoint they never beat a tourney team away from their gym, more importantly i hate soft defensive teams so they instantly not a team im looking to back.. pretty sure i wont have a perfect bracket tho so i hope you cash davidson..

                                                the thing bout wvu is if you can beat the press they turn into a below avg team imo, they are one of the worst fg% defenses in the country! they send teams to the ft line more than any team in the country! offensively they are just as inept in every category except offensive rebounds which is my one main concern as i believe buf has the guards and are well coached enough to handle the press. buffalo also likes to play fast so im not worried about wvu making them uncomfortable by speeding them up.. i luv me some 12/5s but this yr i only see 1 and this is it,, mostly cause i feel like 2 of the 5 seeds were grossly underseeded so i happen to like more 13 seeds than 12s this year..

                                                    nance isnt half the player of tuttle imo, nance a 1 trick pony who's only real strength is finishing around the rim. you can take him away packing the lane cause wyo cant shoot. i played wyo thru the mw tourney, wish i had another chance but they facing a team that should have been a 4 seed at worst and a team that is basically a much better version of wyo.. who knows it march and i been wrong before. i just aint buying this one for a second. we shall see..

                                                      ND allows 45.8% shooting on the road and they don't rebound well,
                                                      Yep they are so small, if their jump shots aren't falling they can be beaten by anyone. Not to mention Brey isn't known for deep tourney runs lol. That being said Grant is a beast

                                                        yeah players whose dads played play like their dads except for the alford kid,
                                                        northern iowa is wyoming,except for they execute on offense and are taller,
                                                        East Washington are scrubs,
                                                        Like Cal Irvine's chances because Louisville's game is based on getting lots of offensive boards and put backs,and they are
                                                        playing in seattle and Louisville will be all messed up. Kind of liking the under in this game.
                                                        Belmont has a chance because they execute on offense. And they can hit the three. Virginia looks like they are out of offensive weapons, and they need more guard production. Belmont is also well coached.
                                                        OleMiss is good but I prefer having the +3. Ole Miss is a really good road team. They are a gritty team, gotta get the defensive boards,
                                                        I'm playing UAB +850,
                                                        Notre Dame is a very polished team with outstanding guard play, team chemistry, coming in with a very high confidence level.
                                                        This team is for reals and is a legit contender to win it all,or beat Kentucky. Northeastern plays a similar style on offense, notre dame is just the better team and I would take them -11.5. also got ND in the final four.
                                                        UTAh is going to pound Steven F inside dunking the ball all over the place in a crushing victory around 81-63

Georgetown is overseeded as a 4-seed and they are 253rd in the country in three-point defense. Sounds like a nightmarish matchup to me for a Georgetown team that I don't even think is that good, or at least not 4-seed good.
