Speculation period is over. Time to play ball.

Who are your Thursday picks?

I'll go:

UNC Wilm v Duke Vitale - beating UNCW is awesome, baby.
Butler v Texas Tech - the Butler, as often the case, did it. but at least Tubby won COY.
UConn v Colorado - Not a dime back. Huskies.
Iona v I-State - No duplicate from last year. Clones.
Yale v Baylor - BXII overrated talk is renewed. Bulldogs.
Hampton v Virginia - I Left my Heart in San Fran. & took the Cavs in the commonwealth battle.
Austin Peay v Kansas - easy peasy. Rock Chalk.
Ark Little Rock v Purdue - nothing little about Purdue. All aboard Boilermakers.
Buffalo v Miami - Hurricane Larrañaga touches down in Buffalo.
Chatt v Indiana - are they a mockingbird or snake? who cares? they press. all game. Mocs.
F Gulf v Carolina - Andy Enfield has a hot wife. But they left for USC. and thus, Heels.
Fresno St v Utah - 3 bulldogs can't win in 1 day, right? Utes.
Wichita St v Arizona - all that's surprising is this is a 1st RD game. Shockers.
Stony Brook v Calipari - Cal. UK's fate lies with the Mountaineers.
Providence v USC - Enfield's wife might launch a thousand ships. But Dunn/Bentil aren't into history. Friars.
Gonzaga v Seton Hall - the Hall's tournament appearances Few and far between. sorry Mark. Pirates.

Enjoy the Madness.

my notable predictions:

uconn (final four), wvu (elite 8), oregon (champ)
 
Today

Duke over UNCW - Would not be surprised to see Duke lose
Butler over TT - TT too inconsistent
Colorado over UConn - Not buying UConn, they were a miracle shot away from being in the NIT, this isnt a Big East UConn team and they shot their load last week.
ISU over Iona - No way Georges Niang goes out in the first round again
Yale over Baylor - Perfect matchup for the typical Ivy League champ
UVA over Hampton
KU over Austin P
Purdue over Ark-LR - Purdue is too good to bow out early
Miami over Buff - Never bet on a Buffalo team, pro or college, to win anything of significance
IU over Chatt - IU underseeded, will play with a chip on their shoulder
UNC over FGCU
Utah over Fresno
AZ over Wichita - Could be the game of the day, I like the winner to make it to the Sweet 16
UK over Stony - Tough draw for Stony Brook in their 1st ever appearance
USC over Providence - never trust PC in a tournament setting ever
Zags over SHU - Tough draw for the Hall

Day 2

Dayton over Cuse - SU has no business being here
Nova over UNCA
VCU over Oregon State - torn on this but I think VCU is due for a tourney win
Cal over Hawaii - really want to take Hawaii with Cal's best player down, but Cal is deep and should be able to get out of the round
MSU over MTSU
Iowa over Temple - One and Dunphy strikes again
OU over CS-B
Maryland over SD State - I dont love Maryland but they got a good draw now that Cal lost their best player
Wisconsin over Pitt - Pitt in NCAAs = LOL
WVU over SFA - Clearly
Tex AM over GB
Oregon over HC
X over Weber
Michigan over ND - Beilein always has a little magic in store for March
Texas over UNI - playing well lately
SJU over UC - tossup, no reason
