Best Game: Arizona St. vs. Temple

Cinderella: Western Kentucky

(1) North Carolina vs. (16) Radford

North Carolina- 78

Radford- 61

Sorry Radford, its not happening.

(8) LSU vs. (9) Butler

LSU- 66

Butler- 67

Pretty much a coinflip. It all depends on how LSU decides to play tomorrow.

(5) Illinois vs. (12) Western Kentucky

Illinois- 58

WKU- 67

Illinois is devastated by injury, and WKU will advance as a 12 for the second straight year.

(4) Gonzaga vs. (13) Akron

Gonzaga- 78

Akron- 56

Gonzaga is just too good. Won't be close, but atleast the kids from Akron get to experience the tourney.

(6) Arizona St. vs (11) Temple

ASU- 75

Temple- 74

Chirstmas will light it up for 30 plus, but ASU hits a last second shot to sneak into the 2nd round. Will be a fantastic game.

(3) Syracuse vs. (14) Stephen F. Austin

Syracuse- 99

Stephen F. Austin- 55

What fatigue? Syracuse rolls. It will get ugly. Nuff said.

(7) Clemson vs. (10) Michigan

Clemson- 81

Michigan- 77

Clemson is so damn irritating. They can be a final four team one day, and then play like fourth place in the SWAC. I think both teams will bring their best, but Clemson will pull it out.

(2) Oklahoma vs. (15) Morgan State

Oklahoma- 78

Morgan St.- 70

Morgan St. will fight and fight until the end, but Griffin will carry the Sooners.

 This is probably the toughest region of the four. Should be awesome!

Best Game: West Virginia vs. Dayton

Possible Cinderella: Dayton

(1) Louisville vs. (16) Morehead State

Louisville- 89

Morehead State- 52

Poor Morehead State. Gotta play Louisville in Dayton. Perhaps they will learn a thing or two!

(8) Ohio State vs. (9) Siena

Ohio State- 67

Siena- 71

This is one of the toughest games to pick in my opinion.  The Buckeyes are pretty much playing a home game, but I think the Big Ten sucks.  Siena will pull off the mini upset.

(5) Utah vs. (12) Arizona

Utah- 59

Arizona- 71

I love Arizona in this matchup, as I think Utah is way overseeded. Had their preseason loss to D2 school Southwest Baptist counted, they probably wouldnt be in the tournament in the first place.  This one will never be close.

(4) Wake Forest vs. (13) Cleveland State

Wake Forest- 77

Cleveland State- 75

In about half of my brackets, I have Cleveland State pulling the stunner. I watched them beat Butler, and they are good. Should be a hell of a game.

(6) West Virginia vs. (11) Dayton

West Virginia- 66

Dayton- 61

Close game. Two really good teams, but West Virginia will be a little better.

(3) Kansas vs. (14) North Dakota State

Kansas- 88

NDSU- 61

Screw the NDSU upset. I dont see it that way at all, (Kansas fan :D)  In all seriousness, I love Kansas here, big.

(7) Boston College vs. (10) USC

Boston College- 70

USC- 81

USC woke up at the right time, and appears to have the ability to make a little noise. George Mason anyone?

(2) Michigan State vs. (15) Robert Morris

Michigan State- 77

Robert Morris- 43

Yawn. Brutal. Yeah...
