"Anybody can beat anybody," Moss said. "Never take anybody for granted. I think sometimes big teams think they can just show up and play. But everyone is D-I athletes. We came here for a reason, and that's to win championships."



Evans said you can be sure of one thing: The Bulls won't be shy. He said they'll play their usual attacking style, which makes them a live underdog and a joy for hoop fans to watch.

In games like this, the lower seed tends to be quite undersized versus the higher seed; and that's clearly not the case here. Plus, it's their first ever Tournament bid; so what have they got to lose by thinking big. But, this piece is showing the Buffalo kids are already repeating the well-worn media lines......which is what every kid on a team under the #11 line is doing today.

Why won't it shock me if all four #5's end up winning this year; primarily because their coaches are going to be hounding their teams worse this week than possibly at any other time the entire season.
 
The 5 seed is dangerous this year:
Utah
West Virginina
Northern Iowa
Arkansas

I'm having trouble picking against any of those. They actually all have a legit shot for sweet 16.
