Let The Games begin!!!!
Possible first round upsets:
Siena over Vanderbilt (Siena has a good well balanced team along with a victory over stanford to back it up.)
George Mason over Notre Dame (2 players from a team that made a nice final four run 2 years ago, not to mention some good victories.)
Winthrop over Washington State (Solid players return from a great team last year, victories over Miami and Georgia Tech don't hurt)
St. Joes over Oklahoma (St. Joes knows how to compete with good competition how bout 2 victories over Xavier in the past 11 days)
Nova over Clemson (this team has the guard play and defense to slow down a very potent clemson offense.)
Kansas State over USC (Michael Beasley and Bill Walker enough said)
Temple over Michigan State (Christmas came early for this team, very physical could give the spartans some problems)
Kentucky over Marquette (Kentucky enough said)
Western Kentucky over Drake (Courtney Lee, is a game changer, Drake is new to this tourney experience)
Baylor over Purdue (my sleeper from the beginning of the year watch out for these guards.)
