[BillD1984]

I want to make one provision to my picks: IF Florida St. can beat Pitt (I think it will be close, but the Noles will come up short), I like FSU to make it all the way to Detroit.

Here's my little tip:

There's one constant in every NCAA Tournament. There's a #12 that beats a #5 every single year. I have Western Kentucky beating Illinois. Illinois Senior Guard Chester Frazier is hurting and is questionable to even play in this game.

Sweet Sixteen
Butler over W. Kentucky

You have Butler beating UNC?! I'm a fan of the Horizon League too, but damn!

Any team that can't score 40 points in a game and is without a top scorer? Illinois losing is an easy pick.

Plus Frazier is the Illini's top defensive threat. Western Kentucky has a few sneaky guards. Without Frazier to guard them, I see the Hilltoppers having a field day.

 

[BillD1984]

I have Western Kentucky beating Illinois.

That and VCU (11) beating UCLA (6), seem to be the two most popular upset picks.

FWIW, I picked both those upsets. However, I've always subscribed to the theory, "If something looks THAT obvious..........it probably aint happenin".

But I'm sticking with both WKU and VCU just the same.

Western Kentucky made it to the Sweet 16 last year, and Illinois has a key player hurt.

If anything, this is a lock.

After all, I said Illinois was overseeded.

I went against the flow and picked UCLA. Something tells me that Ben Howland has all the bullentin board material he needs.

I thought about VCU, but I heard a staggering statistic on Ben Howland coached teams. He is something like 11-1 in first round games. I can't see Howland not having his team prepared for VCU.
