Sleeper in terms of winning it all, its Purdue. Jackson is a sound point guard that takes care of the ball, and Moore and Johnson are bonafide stars. Plus they play really, really good defense.
Sleeper in terms of pulling off a big time upset, its Belmont or Wofford. I really think Wofford has a good shot to knock off BYU. Since Davies got kicked off the team, BYU pretty much just dribbles down and chucks up contested threes. If they aren't knocking down shots, the Terriers beat them.Comment -

Ohio State.Comment -
BYU is sinking ship, its possible Wofford can knock them off before the 2nd round. Belmont could do to Wisconsin what Cornell did to them last year: run 'em off the court. That slow as hell offense might be a strength but they're not getting all the calls away from Big 10 play. Their D will get exposed again.
I never understood what people see in Utah State. They are easily the wost prepared team for the tournament every single year because of that squishy-soft schedule. They're a 12 seed this year, that tells you if they had choked against Boise State in the WAC final last night they'd be in the NIT right now. K-State by 20+.
Michigan is good, but they could get out-talented by Tennessee. Long, athletic scorers like Scotty Hopson are bad matchups for the Wolverines. Plus its not that long a drive from Knoxville to Charlotte. The line is close to a pick'em because you don't know which Tennessee you're going to see: the one who dominated Pitt on the road and swept Vandy, or the one that lost to Oakland and UNC Charlotte. Or maybe even both in the same game! Plus, Michigan's 3pt based offense means they could beat or lose to damn near anyone.Comment -
Belmont. Watch out Purdue!Comment -
duke underrated again
shoulda been in pitts bracket ;]Comment -
RichmondComment -
I guess it all depends on how "sleepy" your "sleeper" has to be. Are we talking an afternoon nap or comatose?
I think Texas (4), Purdue (3), and Wisconsin (4) are real threats to make the Final Four. But if you want deeper sleep than that I'd go with Penn State to make the Final Four.
A lot of people like Oakland. I do think it would be funny as shit if they beat Texas. I've never thought Rick Barnes was a good in game coach. But what happens when Oakland knocks off Arizona and then gets trounced by Duke? Then everybody is going to bitch again about how easy Duke's bracket was. Not sure I really want to go through that song and dance again. The bitching about the seeding in the NCAA tournament is getting worse than the BCS controversies. I'd like to be able to watch one fukkin championship game without the winner being declared illegitimate.No more of that talk, or I'll put the leeches on you.Comment -
Kansas State babyComment -
St. Johns babyComment -
st johns line tells me mad respect to who they r facing gonzaga....Comment -
RichmondComment -
Gonzaga is moving through at least a couple of roundsComment -
Yea I could see Belmont knocking off Wisconsin, and Oakland making some noise. Richmond could get through a round or two. Vandy is not a good tourney team.Comment -
Why are ppl picking ODU they are a poor mans Pitt they have no shot as a sleeper unless Pitt loses 1st rdComment -
Ok I will bite here and say RichmondComment -
SDSU, Oakland, MSUComment -
A sleeper who could go to the FF? I'll take a shot with Arizona.
A sleeper to make some noise in the early rounds? Belmont.
This is the best week of the year. Good luck to everyone.Comment -
UCLA/Michigan State
Gtown
FSU
Was really going to be Uconn till they won the big east tourney, now everyone will be picking them and they'll lose early....:\Comment -
Problem with sleepers is vegas knows them all ne way.. so a 13 seed belmont doesn't have krazy value kind of like murrary state last year... I like msu to the elite 8..Comment -
Belmont is one of the best passing teams I have seen this year. They nail their shots and I see a sweet 16 bid which would be quite an upsetComment -
utah st too good to be a sleeper, but they are the best 12 seed ever. consider they have the 18th best chance of winning it all, just behind fla, a two seed.Comment -
Wofford
Zaga
Belmont
Utah st
all with a good chanceComment -
I want to say odu but i live right across the street and been to all the home games. Really dont have a leader and when things dont go there way they get rattled quickly.. So im gonna say Richmond and OaklandComment -
Belmont, Marquette and Tennessee are teams I have at least winning two gamesComment -
Penn StComment -
Bucknell, very impressive in their tourney.
Could give UCONN fits.Comment -
i like
odu or utah state one of them maybe to the elite eight that bracett is weakComment -
Oakland...texas vulnerable last couple of years late in their seasonComment -
Penn State to the sweet 16. I would qualify a 10 seed to the sweet 16 a sleeper. Also think Michigan State makes it to the sweet 16 as well. My final sweet 16 sleeper is ClemsonComment
