I think Michigan State has a very good chance of beating Memphis.
Washington State will put up a tough fight with UNC

UNC will probably drop 90+ on WSU but WSU will put up good a fight.
I guess the best part about the tourney is exactly what you said... You never know.
I just don't think Davidson will have enough to beat UW. Bo Ryan runs a tight ship up here and this team is SO hard to rattle. We are one of the best on defense, we know how to score both inside and outside (hughes was on fire last game), we have several big guys to play down low and you can't deny we are also really good at getting to the line. I guess we'll have to see on Friday.

Yeah I definitely agree with you about Wisconsin and the way they play...awesome D, just keep Davidson cool from beyond the arc and on the offensive side run it right down the middle (davidson has no big guys that can match up very well, only hope is Lovedale but he'll likely get in foul trouble early)

exactly, butch will probably be guarded by Lovedale and he is good at drawing fouls so... Lovedale might be on the bench a lot and then its only a 1 dimensional game for them to guard against.
I will admit though, Curry's got some game.

For those who don't think UCLA is getting the calls at the end of the game this year:
This was the last drive by Texas A&M where no foul was called. He's getting hacked by two guys.

Interesting first half of the Davidson-Wisconsin game...it was just raining three's all half, I think the team's shot over 50 percent combined from beyond the arc.
We'll see how the second half goes...I think Wisconsin just has to force the ball inside and have Flowers or Landry attempting to drive to the hoop where Curry will hopefully pick up a few fouls.

We gave in and played Davidsons game, great coaching and execution on there part... fucking annoying that all they do is live by the three ball but whatever, they got it done.
I am an ashamed Badger fan tonight even though we had a great year that nobody expected with the loss of Tucker last season. I suppose the black eye I received yesterday playing bball at the university rec center (got an elbow to the face while going up for a rebound) was a bit ironic since we got beat pretty bad.
With TN losing and Wisc being ousted... my bracket is offically
Oh well!

incredible effort by Davidson... hats off to them. Would've loved to have seem them in the Final 4, but from a talent perspective the 4 best teams are in and should provide for some amazing basketball.

What Would Don Draper Do?
man i was hoping davidson would win since a lot of people in my pool had kansas reaching the final 4 and the final.
at this point, i only have UNC and UCLA left with UNC beating UCLA in the final.
if that works, i can tie for 3rd place.
