I think NC State is playing really well and have them losing to UNC.

I think Ohio State can go all the way. I suspect a lot of people agree with that now but I had them beating SU and UNC before Melo was ruled ineligible.

I think the West is disgustingly bad. I cannot believe Izzo's good fortune. A joke of an 8/9 game and a weak 4.

Seriously? Memphis and St. Louis are both tragically underrated as an 8/9. (Pomeroy has Memphis as 9th highest rated team, St. Louis as 15th). I dunno where you get your information but I couldn't disagree more.

Watch out for Florida State and Vanderbilt. I think Free Shoes U can win the whole thing. They looked great against Dook.

Yeah I picked FSU to go to the final and lose to Michigan State. Not sure I'd call any of one teams a dark horse through.

I have Kansas State in the Elite 8 and both New Mexico and New Mexico State in the Sweet 16.

Where I get my information? It's an opinion, stats nerd.

Btw, those two AMAZING teams are a combined 0-2 against the Top-25.

Pomeroy also had Cal as his #27 team going into last night...

i find it funny that alot of the "experts" have all the 1 seeds going to the final four but looking at the tourney imho i think 2 of the 1 seeds will get knocked off and maybe none make it to the final 4. i think this tournament is going to turn into a crapshoot by the time the elite 8 comes around. theres going to be some big names missing.

K-State, Florida could make a run. Creighton is very good, but Carolina probably has too much.

the four #1 seeds have never all made the final four, have they? I recall three of four making it when we won in '04. I think
