Earl Clark and Terrence Williams haverallied their team to the top seed in the tourney
as they journey for a National Championship.
Out West... The Midwest that is.
With surprise teams such as Arizona and USC earning low seedings in this region and young teams like Kansas and Wake Forest holding the higher seeds, this region is just asking for drama. There are endless outcomes in the Midwest and you should expect the unexpected in this portion of the bracket. This is probably the most difficult road to the final four out of the four regions. Filling out this part of the bracket should be very stressful for March Madness fans all across the nation as well as for sports analysts.
#1 Louisville vs Winner of "Play-in game"
Not knowing the outcome is this game would be foolish. I'm pretty sure the players for Louisville could care less about who wins the "play-in game". Whether it's the Hornets of Alabama State or the Morehead State Eagles, whoever ends up taking on the top team in the bracket will be in for some trouble. Louisville will run the opposing team off the floor before half time. The Cardinals are just too athletic. They've got speed, power, and depth. Typical first round #1 v #16 result. Louisville
#8 Ohio State vs #9 Siena
The Buckeyes endured a lot of struggles during the season and in conference play but have pulled themselves together as they picked up the #8 seed in the Midwest. This isn't Siena's first time in the tournament and they have earned some respect from the selection committee as they earned the #9 seed. By just looking at the school names, the majority of people would go with Ohio State in a heart beat but don't count the Saints out just yet. Siena has the ability to score plenty of points in a game and can compete with major conference teams. Just ask Pittsburgh and Kansas. Siena's leading scorers are seniors and juniors as they have plenty of experience and will not have any first game jitters but Ohio State on the other hand is led by underclassmen. Siena will have a huge advantage on that part but the game is in Ohio. Advantage Buckeyes? The home court advantage could be huge as the fan support may help the young Ohio State team drop any nerves early in the game. BUT, I'm going to assume that plenty of Siena fans will show up and the Saints will pick up a "W" in the first round. Siena
#5 Utah vs #12 Arizona
While Arizona has been blessed with a bid into the dance, Utah has worked hard to get the #5 seed in the Midwest but have been punished as they face one of the toughest 12 seed teams ever. Both teams will be playing in unfamiliar territory as the two western schools face off in Miami. Arizona has a trio leader of juniors that have been playing together for three years now and chemistry should be flowing all over the court but unfortunately for them, Utah has a trio of SENIOR leaders that have been playing together for FOUR years. Not only that but the leader of them all is 7'2" all american center Luke Nevill. With the lack of height being a huge issue for the Wildcats even with Jordan Hill, this big man match up could be a huge issue from the start of tip off. Don't expect an upset just because of Arizona's successful basketball history. But then again, the 5/12 match-up is infamous for its upsets. Regardless, Nevill is just too big and his teammates are solid enough to hold their own. Utah
#4 Wake Forest vs #13 Cleveland State
A big time surprise out of the ACC, the young Demon Deacons have been more than succesful as they found ways to win games during the regular season and despite not being able to win the ACC tournament nor the conference's regular season, the team has landed the #4 seed in the Midwest. Cleveland State may be a mid major team but they have hung with some of the best during the regular season as they challenged themselves throughout the non-conference portion of the season with games against Syracuse, Washington, Kansas State, West Virginia, and Butler. They may have lost all five of those games but none of them ended with much of a marginal difference in scores. Wake Forest may have lots of talent but they somehow struggle to find scoring at times. The lack of veteran experience on this lineup causes some questioning as to how far these youngsters can really go in the tournament. Wake Forest may get a slap in the face as Cleveland State hangs with the big boys from the ACC but Jeff Teague and his crew will find a way to overcome this one. At least... Wake Forest
#6 West Virginia vs #11 Dayton
A very peculiar match up as Dayton tries to upset the Mountaineers. West Virginia has been playing their best basketball of the year lately and are well prepared for the tournament as they endured the deepest talent in any conference. Don't count Dayton out of this one. Even though the Flyers might have not played as difficult a schedule, they have one thing that West Virginia doesn't. On top of an upset over Atlantic 10's best team, the Xavier Musketeers, the Flyers have a "W" over the Big East's very own Marquette team. Reminding all you West Virginia fans that your team was unable to defeat Marquette this season. This could be a huge boost of confidence for the Dayton players but West Virginia will not take Dayton lightly and will do all it can to prevent their opponents from advancing to the round of 32. West Virginia
#3 Kansas vs #14 North Dakota State
Kansas fans will tell you all about how they lost in the first round to the Bucknell Bison the last time they were the #3 seed in the tournament. On top of that, Kansas fans can tell you about how they lost as the #4 seed the following year when their team was rebuilding with fresh young players. Coach Self had brought in top recruits Julian Wright, Brandon Rush, and Mario Chalmers but the young trio weren't prepared for the tournament as they fell to the Bradley Braves and were one and done. This year, the Defending National Champions have surprised many with a brand new lineup while their entire starting line up from last year's #1 team went on to the enter the NBA draft. Even though this year's recruiting class wasn't as impressive as the class that came in with the three freshman that lost to Bradley that painful season, Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich have stepped up big as they have led their young teammates to another regular season Big 12 championship and a #3 seed in the tournament. A #3 seed and a young roster? Uh oh... Just a few days ago, Kansas already showed that their youth and lack of experience would interfere with their success in tournament play as they were dropped in the second round of the Big 12 tournament against Baylor after a bye round. Will the outcome be the same for Kansas in the first round of this year's tournament? Bill Self has already been through enough of those and will be well prepared for this match-up as he won't let anything slide. Collins will have to play a good game and the rest of the team complements his performance. The Jayhawks could easily give this one up to the North Dakota State Bison (Bucknell Bison?), but don't count on it. Kansas
#7 Boston College vs #10 USC
While the Eagles have slipped themselves into the tournament after going through a tough ACC schedule, the Trojans have rallied themselves into the tournament by winning the Pac 10 tournament. Early on in the season, USC continuously struggled. Their team lost way too much talent from the previous year (OJ Mayo, Davon Jefferson) and the highly anticipated freshman, Demar Derozan was having trouble finding his game in the collegiate level. All that was forgotten when the Pac 10 tournament came in town. Derozan all of a sudden looked like an all american and everything was going USC's way as players stepped up and played their roles. Boston College will be led by senior guard Tyrese Rice who can catch fire from the field and become unstoppable. This game could obviously go either way but USC's athletic edge will give them an advantage in that category but Boston College has the ability to do damage as they defeated UNC and Duke in the regular season. Derozan needs to continue to play above the rim as he did in the Pac 10 tournament and USC will find themselves in the round of 32. USC
#2 Michigan State vs #15 Robert Morris
This match-up isn't a difficult one as the Spartans just have too much talent over the Colonials. Coach Izzo and crew aren't too happy about not winning the Big 10 tournament and are probably looking to let their anger out in the first round of the tournament. A young roster but a very complete team with plenty of scorers and big men including senior leader, Goran Suton. This one shouldn't take long. Michigan State

The West Side
Connecticut has yet again earned a #1 seed. This bracket consists of many teams under the radar and teams that weren't expected to do what they did. The #2 seed in this bracket is last year's runner up, the Memphis Tigers, who currently have the longest active streak in the nation with 25 straight wins. The last time they lost was in mid December. It's almost like having two #1 seeds in one region...
Thabeet is a force in the middleas UConn looks to make a familiar
appearance in the Final Four.
Other than the fact that Chattanooga is the #16 seed, the real issue for the underdog team is, "how the heck are they going to stop the 7'3" Thabeet?" The Mocs had barely won over .500 games and are looking at a near impossible match-up. UConn
#8 BYU vs #9 Texas A&M
This match-up consists of two teams that have completely different styles. Styles may not be the same but the amount of talent on both sides is about even and the teams will spend most of the first half trying to establish their game flow while figuring out the opponent's weakness and tendencies. Expect BYU to show more composure as they pull off the win in a hard fought game. BYU
#5 Purdue vs #12 Northern Iowa
Does anyone want to give me a scouting report on Northern Iowa? The Big 10 tournament champions are in for a trap game as they face a low status team that played a very weak schedule. The Boilermakers have shown that they can be very inconsistent at times while Northern Iowa hasn't really shown what they are capable and could surprise the favored team. Surprisingly enough, the Panthers have some players that really know how to get points on the board but the talent that the Boilermakers bring is going to be too much. Northern Iowa might bring mismatch issues as they try to start off strong by attacking with 7'1" center Jordan Eglseder, but height isn't always going to get you the win. Purdue
#4 Washington vs #13 Mississippi State
The #1 seed team in the Pac-10 tournament failed to bring home the trophy while Mississippi State made a name for themselves by winning the SEC tournament. The SEC may have had one of its most disappointing seasons as only three teams were selected to the tournament and the highest seeding is LSU's eight seed. As the Bulldogs try to represent the SEC on a brighter note by continuing their current six game winning streak, The Huskies are angry and want to forget about the Pac-10 tournament as quickly as possible. The best way to do that? Winning of course. Being led by Freshman guard sensation Isaiah Thomas (No relation to Detroit's Isaiah Thomas) and Senior guard Justin Dentmon, Washington will come out with a speed game. Mississippi State might not last too long in this one but expect the Bulldogs to at least give a worthy fight for a little while. Washington
#6 Marquette vs #11 Utah State
Marquette comes into this one with plenty of preparation after dealing with the entire Big East while Utah State has one of the most impressive regular season records with 30 wins. The Golden Eagles are 1-5 in their last six games as they have had to deal with the absence of Senior guard Dominic James who suffered an injury late in the regular season. Marquette has shown that they can perform without the leader at guard but have yet to show that they can play a complete game without him. Marquette was probably planning on using the early portion of the tournament to get their chemistry going but this part of the tournament may be the only part they will be seeing. Utah State may come from a much weaker conference but the Aggies have a solid starting lineup that can inflict some major damage. Playing Marquette will probably be their biggest challenge yet but if Utah State can manage to keep Marquette from catching any runs, this one could get very interesting. Utah State
#3 Missouri vs #14 Cornell
A fairy tale it has been for the Tigers as they took advantage of the Big 12's "rebuilding" year and stole the Big 12 tournament Championship as the top 2 seeds both fell in the second round. Before the season began, not much was expected from the men of Mizzou but they made plenty of noise as they tallied a total of 28 wins before being selected into the tournament. The challengers, the Big Red of Cornell. The Ivy League champions are given little respect by the rest of the nation but they look to make a statement by sneaking up on a team with little experience in the tournament. Surprisingly, Cornell stands a chance in this game but the speed that the Tigers bring to the floor will overwhelm the Big Red as they may suffer from plenty of turnovers. It may go either way but the Tigers are likely to move on to round two. Missouri
#7 California vs #10 Maryland
A very tough call in this one as the two teams come in with some very impressive wins yet both have struggled to find consistent success. California suffered ten losses in the season but found random counts of success as they defeated Utah, Arizona State, and Washington twice (The Pac-10 regular season champions). Maryland held their own as they took down UNC and Wake Forest but struggled to find themselves in conference play as they went under .500 in the win column. Cal will have the upperhand in this match up as they have a far more solid starting lineup. Coach Gary Williams just doesn't seem to have the magical recruiting touch as he used to but depth will be a factor in this one as Marylands squad distributes the ball around more efficiently as they get more guys involved in scoring. In the end, the Golden Bears will have just too much to offer for the Terps lineup to handle. California
#2 Memphis vs #15 Cal State Northridge
Without Derrick Rose, Chris Douglas Roberts, and Joey Dorsey the Tigers just aren't capable of competing with the best of rest in this years pool of competition. Think again. With freshman McDonald's All-American Tyreke Evans adding plenty of explosive offense, the Tigers currently have the longest active win streak of 25 wins and don't have any intentions of slowing down. I can assure you that they haven't forgotten about last year's collapse in the championship game and have plenty of anger to let loose as Memphis will get win number 26 to start off this year's tournament. Memphis
Last year's Freshman phenom Derrick Rose may have moved on to bigger and better things but Tyreke Evans has brought new life into Memphis as they look to avenge last year's Final Four loss.The East
Pittsburgh stands at the top of this region and looks to coast to the final four as most of this region shows little consistency and composure while the other top seeds haven't shown any signs of much dominance. Then again, I guess I could go ahead and say the same for Pittsburgh...
Sam Young and Levance Fields take one lastshot at the Final Four as they aren't going
to let anyone get in their way.
#1 Pittsburgh vs #16 East Tennessee State
As East Tennessee State had a less than impressive performace in the Atlantic Sun, they crawled their way into the tournament as a hopeless sixteen seed. Once the tip-off begins, the Buccaneers 40 minute clock will begin as their season will end when it hits 0:00. Pittsburgh
#8 Oklahoma State vs #9 Tennessee
The Volunteers entered this year's campaign with high expectations as they were ranked 13th in the preseason. With plenty returning players and newly recruited freshmen, Coach Pearl's boys were looking to make a run. That plan didn't last too long as the Vols hit a few obstacles throughout the season and found themselves battling and just barely making it into the tournament. The tough challenges for Tennessee doesn't end here. Round one features a controversial match-up as the Vols are scheduled to play an Oklahoma State team that has found a groove late in the season. Led by James Anderson and Byron Eaton, the Cowboys are going to play hard nose basketball as they look to force a lot into the paint. A more athletic Tennessee team will create match-up problems for the Cowboys but Eaton has the most experience out of both teams and that will be huge. This game can easily go either way and should be fun to watch. Tennesse has shown way too much inconsistency and the Cowboys have shown plenty of composure during crunch time. Oklahoma State
#5 Florida State vs #12 Wisconsin
Wisconsin came into the season as a team that typically plays well year after year but this season wasn't up to par as the Badgers entered the tournament as a bubble team. Being a number twelve seed, Wisconsin looks to be a part of the many 5/12 upsets as they go up against a Florida State squad that has only one player that averages double digit scoring. So the key to winning this game for the Badgers would be to just stop the scoring power, Toney Douglas. Not as easy as it seems. Seeing that the Senior guard had scored 27 and 28 on Duke in two of three meetings, 27 and 32 on UNC in their two meetings, 23 twice on Clemson, and 22 on Wake Forest, Douglas has the ability to do damage regardless of who is guarding him. Wisconsin has shown consistent defense throughout the season but when a guy comes out of the ACC averaging over 20 points a game, he's not going to be easy to stop. On the other hand, if Wisconsin can find a way to slow him down, they can almost be assured of a win but I don't see it happening. Florida State
#4 Xavier vs #13 Portland State
A pretty easy game to call in most opinions, but think again! The Vikings of Portland State have a little something under their sleeve for the doubters. Xavier was one of the hotter teams in the early portion of the season but as of late, the Musketeers have been causing their coaching staff some stress as they have lost five of their last ten games in the weak Atlanta-10 Conference. Portland State has quietly hung around while winning a huge statement game against Gonzaga and keeping things close against the rest of the nation except for a 13 point loss to a good Baylor team and a 14 point loss to the only team that had a better record in their conference, Weber State. It would be preposterous to count this team out when they proved they could hang with the big boys after handing the Zags one of only five losses. Portland State is going to have to play a great game to end the Musketeers' season and it's not impossible but it's not going to be easy. The leaders of Xavier will get a reality check and gather themselves before the start of this one. Xavier
#6 UCLA vs #11 Virginia Commonwealth
Virginia Commonwealth finds themselves in the tournament once again but are in a bit of a sticky situation as they unluckily were dealt a UCLA team that has struggled but is very dangerous. Eric Maynor is a fantastic player for the Rams but even a 30 point game won't get them a victory in this one. The Bruins are way too deep as they have about nine players that get decent playing time. The experience from previous tournaments with Collison, Shipp, and Aboya will be too much for Eric Maynor and his crew. UCLA fans, you have nothing to worry about. The team has forgotten all about the regular season and are ready to move on through this tournament. This one will have a huge differential in the two point totals. Sorry Rams fans. UCLA
#3 Villanova vs #14 American
Villanova enters the tournament as a #3 seed after falling one game short from winning the Big East tournament. The Wildcats never give partial effort and come out ready to play every night and it will be no different in this match-up. American has had a terrific season but it's going to have to end here. This just isn't the team that they want to be paired up with early in the tournament. Villanova
#7 Texas vs #10 Minnesota
Texas has underperformed after being ranked eighth in the preseason. They finished sixth in a weak Big 12 conference and have just struggled to find themselves. On the opposite side, The Gophers have surprised many and are a young team on the rise. Not much scoring is done by this team but is it needed for these defensive monsters? Coach Tubby Smith's young squad will be very antsy to get on that court but Texas will show much more maturity as leaders AJ Abrams and Damion James have been through it before. The Gophers only won half of their conference games but had a very impressive win against the mighty Louisville Cardinals and if they can manage to come in with confidence, knowing that they are capable of beating anyone, a "W" in this one is very possible. If Texas can find a way to intimidate and frustrate the less experienced team from the get go, Coach Smith will be in for a long night. Seems like that's the likely outcome. (Sorry Ralph and X) Texas
#2 Duke vs #15 Binghamton
Duke has once again earned a #2 seed and I'm sure Coach K has had some flash backs from last years turn of events. A first round scare from Belmont after winning on a final shot 71-70 and eventually losing to #7 seed West Virginia in the second round by six. This year, Duke comes in with the same questionable issues as they had last year. The biggest problem with Duke in the past few seasons has been consistency and this season hasn't been an exception as the Blue Devils have shown greatness as they were once the top team in the rankings yet on some nights the squad couldn't even find a basket. Don't get me wrong, the Devils have a great record of 28-6 and had won the ACC tournament but it seems that you will never know when the group of outstanding shooters decides to randomly turn it all off. As for now, the Devils are high up in the sky with plenty of the confidence as they are the ACC champs and will cruise through this round. Duke for now...
Coach K's Devils haven't been
to the Final Four in a while. It's
about time they make a return.

Is the young talentfor UCLA just too young?
Darren Collison could have easily chosento leave for the NBA along side Russell Westbrook and
others but has returned for his Senior season in
order to pursue the National Championship
that he has been so close to multiple times.
The Dirty South
The preseason favorites, The North Carolina Tarheels, have earned themselves a #1 seed after finishing with a convincing 28-4 record. A very young but talented Oklahoma enters as the #2 seed and are sure to give the Heels a run for their money. That's if the two were even to mee in the elite eight. What am I implying? That this region is strong? Not really... This region showcases a ton of vulnerable teams but you will definitely find yourselves some sleepers in this group of 16.
The born-warrior has one last shot at taking his teamto the top and will not settle for less
Looks like Hansbrough and his team is in the same situation that they were in last season at the start of the tournament. A comfortable top seed and a pretty reasonable road to the final four. Teams are usually told not to look ahead to future games but this one seems safe enough. Go ahead and enjoy the LSU/Butler match-up gentlemen. Mr. 17 time All-American will take care of this one. By himself... Heels blast the Highlanders in round one. North Carolina
#8 Louisiana State vs #9 Butler
Just another normal 8/9 game where either team has a very good chance of winning. Both teams fell short in their conferences tournaments but have the regular season title as they come in ready to make up for their respective losses to Mississippi State and Cleveland State. If your school was on the bubble and didn't make it to the tournament, you can blame these guys for taking up two of those bubble spots by letting MSU and CSU slip into the tournament. AJ Graves is no longer with Butler and they were still able to put up an impressive record but the lack of experience in this lineup will cause plenty of issues in tournament play. LSU comes in as the top seed representative for the SEC in what may be one of the most disappointing seasons for the conference. Fortunately for LSU fans, the Tigers have two talented athletes in Marcus Thornton and Tasmin Mitchell who are both NBA prospects for the near future. This will probably the final season for the two of them as Thornton is a senior and Mitchell is a junior. Don't be shocked to see this team make one final run. At the same time, Butler still holds a possibility of coming out with the win but all eyes are on the Tigers. Louisiana State
#5 Illinois vs #12 Western Kentucky
Well well well, the Hilltoppers are the #12 seed again and are interested in stunning another #5 seed. The Illini are in for some trouble as they are one of the most vulnerable teams to possibly get upset in the opening round of the big dance. Illinois is known for their low scoring games but they will have to find a way to put up some higher numbers in this one as Western Kentucky comes in as a quick offensive team. This one is a coin toss and I got tails for Western Kentucky. Tails it is. Just kidding, but with all seriousness, this one should be fun. Watch for something peculiar to happen in this one. Just saying. Western Kentucky
#4 Gonzaga vs #13 Akron
The Bulldogs finished the season by winning 18 of their last 19 games and had an outstanding record of 26-5. All that and they got a #4 seed? Hmm, maybe it's the sorry conferences they're in. Regardless, the Zags stacked their non conference schedule with plenty of good teams and are well prepared for this time of the year. Akron won't have a chance as Seniors Josh Heytvelt and Jeremy Pargo cruise into the second round. Watch out for the Zags to make a deep tournament run. Gonzaga
#6 Arizona State vs #11 Temple
Led by Sophomore super guard James Harden, the Sun Devils have played beyond expectations. The task ahead of getting to the final four will not be easy for Arizona State but the first test against Temple shouldn't be too difficult. Or maybe it'll be far more challenging than it seems. Temple comes into the game after winning the Atlantic 10 tournament and have a solid track record in non conference play after beating Tennessee and Penn State. The bigger picture in reality is that Arizona State is a much better squad. The Owls have shown that they can compete with even the best as the only lost to Clemson by 4 and to kansas by 12. The x factor of this game surprisingly enough will be Ty Abbott as the Sun Devils are 11-1 when the sophomore scores double digits. Of course, the main keys for Arizona State to not blow one early in the tournament is for James Harden and Jeff Pendergraph to play at their level but two can't do it alone. As Temple does all they can to stop these two dominant scorers, the role players will have to step up and Ty Abbott may be just that for Arizona State. Temple gives a fight but this ones pretty easy to call. Arizona State
#3 Syracuse vs #14 Stephen F. Austin
Not just a few days ago, Syracuse had about 5,000 more fans across the nation join the team bus when the Orange took down powerhouse UConn in the Big East tournament in what was the most historic game in conference history as it took six overtimes to decide the victor. Jonny Flynn, the explosive Sophomore guard has stepped up big time for a team that has a total of five players averaging double digits. The Orange have shown that they can play for hours and hours without cramping and showing fatigue. Now that they are well rested, expect them to be a step or two ahead of most of the tournament pool. The Lumberjacks won't last a half with these guys and it will be very tough for the underdogs to put up a challenge. Syracuse
#7 Clemson vs #10 Michigan
Oh the Tigers... Such an impressive start at 18-0 but the conference play has really slowed them down and weakeed their confidence as they finished 5-8 for the rest of the season. Being undefeated in nonconference play in this season, could Clemson be slowed down by Michigan? Well let's give the Wolverines a fair shot at this. Michigan took on a very challenging non conference schedule as they took on UCLA, Maryland, and Duke twice. Michigan has already played the ACC three times this season and is 1-2 and the lack of size could be a huge reason why they will struggle in this fourth ACC match-up. Luckily for them, Clemson is one of the more undersized teams in the ACC and that makes the match-up just that much more interesting. You could say that these two have similar styles and the winner will be decided upon whoever finds their flow first. I think Clemson wants to keep their non-conference record clean. Clemson
#Oklahoma vs #15 Morgan State
Why Morgan State shouldn't win this game: Oklahoma is the #2 seed and Morgan State is the #15 seed. But, that hasn't stopped #15 seeds before.
Why Morgan State doesn't have a shot at this game: The presence of a 100% Blake Griffin. The bears have no answer for this basketball monster. Forget about it, bracket busters. Oklahoma
Could the Zags possibly take down thebig bad bullies of the tournament
and reach the Final Four?
James Harden's recentheroics gives him a strong

Can Blake Griffin continue

Now here's how things are going to work on this site. I've got my first round selections right up there but guaranteed I will not get all 32 correct.
