Any teams I should be looking at on my bracket to pull off an upset?

So far I have

South Dakota St. over Maryland
Wisconsin over Xavier
Fresno State over Iowa St
Gonzaga to the Sweet 16
Baylor and Purdue in the Elite 8

7 of the last 8 tournaments have had at least 1 13 seed or lower advance. Hawaii, SF Austin and Fresno State all have real good chances to win a game. I wouldn't be surprised if at least 1 advances.
Hawaii-killed N. Iowa, lost by 3 to Oklahoma early in the year, have only lost 5 games this season
SF Austin- Not a great conference, but they haven't lost a game in nearly 3 months. This could be that W.T.F. game of the tournament against WVU. There always seems to be one (Baylor+ISU last year, Duke in 2014, G'Town 2013, Mizzou+Duke 2012, and L'ville in 2011 was absolutely shocking)
Fresno State-Played Oregon+Arizona tough early in the season, have won 9 in a row.

Hawaii over cal. Everyone picking cal makes me think they're bound to disappoint

Chattanooga over IU. South Dakota St over Maryland a possibility. Hawaii as @Huskyforlife stated. Not a big upset but VCU over Oregon St. Can Temple beat Iowa?

I don't see UConn over Kansas on that list.

I have a few:
NIU over Texas
VCU over Oregon St.
Wichita St. over Arizona (and into Sweet 16)
Buffalo over Miami
Pitt over Wisky

My chalk region is Midwest.

Another upset to look at the winner of Cinci and St Joes over Oregon leaning towards St Joes but still not sure yet

Really like all three of these teams.

WVU is a FF team for me so I am not picking SFA, but the other two I may have.

This St joes could go pretty deep, alot of the same players from 2014 still on the team.

The past 2 times KU was the number 1, they were upset on the first weekend of the tourney.

Any thoughts on Yale? Got a tough matchup vs. Baylor, but I think they can make a run.

True that they rarely get out of the first weekend, but their record in first game is pretty good. They're 10-2 in 1st games in the Dixon/Howland era.
