This reigon is pretty intriuing because as I feel this might the weakest of the reigons, I realyl dont think that Michigan State has merited a 5 seed when a team like Butler is a 7, and I really think Stanford is a soft 3 seed and they are very beatable, but the top 2 in Texas and Memphis are solid teams...The potential I see for upsets in this bracket comes in the 5-12 game...The Owls play some very good D, have 2 very very good players in Christmas and Tyndale, and they actually have the height to matchup with Morgan and The Ginger....Dunphy is a great coach as well, I think that has the potential for a 1st round classic....I think this bracket is going to come down to the Big East teams meeting the 1-2 in the Sweet 16 with a Texas-Pitt final, and Texas taking this bracket....
Sleeper- Marquette-- these guys play great D and have some serious talent and a coach who has been to the final 4 before, I really think they have no problem taking down the Cats and then grinding out one vs the Cardinal with their D....
Over-rated-- Stanford, Mich St, Miami.....going with 3 here, and I dont think any of these teams make it to the Sweet 16 and only Stanford getting out of the 1st round....
Team to Beat--Memphis, desptie how good TExas is, you have to give Memphis the benefit of the doubt of being the team to beat...Memphis 32-1, is 32-1 anyway you put it and they did beat some very good teams and have guys that have made runs in the tourney, a good coach, a blistering pace, and one of the best young players in college hoops...
Whos winning the bracket--Texas, I love the wya this team has been playing and they continue to roll despite losing to a tough Kansas team, Augustin really leads this team and they are solid all throughout the lineup...could be a great final vs Memphis....
Best bet in 1st Round -- Temple +6.5, Marquette -4.5
