I said I would do this Monday. Then I said I would do this Tuesday.

It's neither of those days, but I'm going to do this right now.

From Chicago, Illinois. First set are in the West Region, 2nd set are in the Midwest Region.

(1) KU (30-4) vs. (16) Niagara (23-11). I have this feeling that Kansas is going to lose early, but with the matchups placed in their path, I can't really see a team that's going to be able to handle them. I haven't been sold on Va. Tech all season. This will be the closest of all the 1/16 games. Kansas by 10.

(8) Kentucky (21-11) vs. (9) Villanova (22-10). Matchup OF CATS LOLZ. Honestly don't know. I'll flip a coin. Tails says Nova, I'm not so sure about that one. Game will probably be an unexpected blowout.

_______________________________________

(2) Badgers (29-5) vs. (15) Texas A&M C.C. (26-6). I'm not a fan of Wisconsin's style of play. It seems very susceptible to upsets, but not in this game. Probably in the 2nd round. Badgers by 14.

(7) UNLV (28-6) vs. (10) Georgia Tech (20-11). I'm lovin' UNLV as a possible surprise Elite Eight pick. They'll make themselves known in this game, with a big win. I sorta feel bad for the people that are going to be at the Chicago games, because I really don't see any of these games being close. Usually, when I don't think any of the games will be close, there's probably going to be a huge upset. IF it happens, it'll be the 1.16 game.

From The Crescent City, Louisiana. First two games are from the Midwest Region, 2nd set are from the South Region.

(2) Memphis (30-3) vs. (15) North Texas (23-10). How did North Texas get this seed, instead of the 16 that Niagara's occupying. Memphis to cover whatever the spread gets set at.

(7) Nevada (28-4) vs. (10) Creighton (22-10). Man, this is a hard one. Do I take Fazekas and the Nevada team that got buttfucked in seeding, or the hot MoVal team. I'll take Creighton, given last year's appearance of the automatic bid winner from the Valley. For those that don't know, it was Sweet 16 participant, Bradley.

______________________________________

(1) Gators (29-5) vs. (16) Jackson St. (21-13). HA.

(8) Arizona (20-10) vs. (9) Boilers (21-11). I wonder how good Arizona could be if they put it all together. If they get past Purdue, I'd give them a shot against Florida, which is really all you can ask for from any non 1 or 2 seed. They have the talent to beat Purdue and Florida, but not the mindset. I'll give them the win against Purdue, close.

Spokane, Washington. First two games are from the Midwest Region, 2nd set are from the East Region.

(3) Ducks (26-7) vs. (14) Miami (OH) (18-14). Oregon made a believer out of me on Saturday. First of many tournament wins for the Ducks.

(6) Irish (24-7) vs. (11) Winthrop (28-4). I have NO #6 seeds winning a game. No, seriously. Fuck Notre Dame, go Winthrop.

________________________________________

(4) Horns (24-9) vs. (13) New Mexico St. (25-8). NMSU has a ton of JuCo transfers, so they've got a decent chance. But they have no chance of stopping Durant and Augustin. So Texas, comfortably.

(5) Men of Troy (23-11) vs. (12) Fags (21-13). Arkansas sucks, so I'm glad that we drew them. I'd be worried if we would have wound up playing an ODU or Creighton type with a different seed. Game will be close, USC doesn't blow people out.

Columbus, Ohio. First set from the West Region, 2nd set are from the Dirty South.

(4) Saluks (27-6) vs. (13) Holy Cross (25-8). HOLY OVERRATED. Whose dick did SIU's AD suck to get this seed. I want to pick Holy Cross right here, but I don't think they're good enough. If Bucknell would have got the auto bid and this seed, I'd take them over the Saluks. The winner of this game's losing to Illinois anyway. WHOOPS I REVEALED MY NEXT PICK

(5) Hokies (21-11) vs. (12) Chiefs (23-11). Easiest upset pick ever. I don't even think it's an upset pick, as the only reason the Hokies got this seed is because they beat North Carolina. Big fucking deal, we did it last year. I think the Tarheels and that whole fucking conference are overrated, so sue me. Illini by a fucking 10 spot.

(4) Hoos (20-10) vs. (13) Albany (23-9). Winner loses in the next round. Who cares. Virginia could only get to the Sweet 16 if they could play on their home court. Which they can't, so they'll go out. I think Virginia's the only ACC team that deserved their seed, so they get that much. They'll win a close one.

(5) Vols (22-10) vs. (12) Pyramids (24-7). I saw this pairing and nearly jizzed in my shorts. As a Big West fan, I PROMISE Long Beach State deserved this seed. All those Pac 10 academic rejects are going to throttle the Vols.

Saturday games will be predicted tomorrow night, because otherwise it won't get done. The local network gets all the West Coast is the Best Coast games. That's good, because those are the ones I want to watch, and find the most interesting.
