    I'm talking teams like Wichita State in 2013, Butler in '10-11, Dayton last year, etc.

    Name a higher seeded team that you like to advance to the Elite 8 or Final 4.

    I think Northern Iowa has a deep run. I know they were ranked 11th by year end but they are a mid-major and still only a 5 seed (20th ranked by the committee).

    Yah. I don't see any. It'll be a 3 seed or better.

    Yep, I like Northern Iowa.

    I also think NC State can make some noise for a couple or three rounds..

    Both teams are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games...

    Got Mich St in final 4
    Got SMU losing to Duke in E8
    Iowa beating Gonzaga in 2nd round.

    That's about the only "shockers" I got going on, otherwise just higher ranked seeds winning.

    I think winner of that game beats Kansas.

    I like Indy, actually got a futures bet a while back on them to win it all at like 100/1, but wichy 3pt defense is great. Take that away from Indy and they got nothin left.

    Both teams got excellent guard duos and a lack of size down low.

    Will enjoy watching this game more than most other games either way!

    The most surprising thing about my bracket that I just noticed is I have no 12-seeds beating any 5-seeds. I just don't see it. If Wyoming played WVU or Utah I'd pick them; bad draw getting N Iowa right off the bat.

    I have E Washington making the sweet sixteen and leading Duke at halftime but failing late. And I have Oklahoma and Iowa State in the Final 4. I dunno, I usually do bad at these.

    I gambled with Stephen F Austins basketball coaches at the Orleans casino thanksgiving weekend.

    pretty cool guys. i might bet on them just for that reason bc i know they will try to cover the spread even if they dont win bc they know how it is to be a gambler.

    these guys were drunk as hell playing roulette with me.

    Even Oklahoma beating Virginia is it really a big upset?

    Oklahoma's a major program even though they're not great so I don't consider those upsets

    Who cares? I'm sick of people bashing UVA for their style. To me that's what makes college bball unique and more interesting than NBA. You have teams that play all sorts of different styles- competent defense, up tempo, slow tempo, pressing, pack the line, etc. which makes the tournament even more crazy.

    SF Austin and Ole Miss to Sweet 16 but they both run into a couple of monsters in Duke/Arizona and die out there. NC State to the Elite 8 and lose to Virginia.

    The Virginia coach micro manages and i think that is what Vitale and Cowherd has a problem with
