  • Xavier over Georgia
  • Kansas over Portland St.
  • Michigan St. over Temple
  • Marquette over Kentucky
  • Purdue over Baylor
  • Kent St. over UNLV (9 over an 8)
  • Pittsburgh over Oral Roberts
  • Stanford over Cornell
  • Kansas St. over USC (11 over a 6)
  • Duke over Belmont
  • Washington St. over Winthrop
  • BYU over Texas A&M (9 over an 8)
  • West Virginia over Arizona
  • Wisconsin over Cal St. Fullerton
  • Notre Dame over George Mason
  • UCLA over Mississippi Valley St.

There's really nothing too shocking.  The NCAA committee really nailed the seeds this year.  I can't wait.

I am a Kentucky fan, but I think they have too much to over come tomorrow.
