If there was any year to rely on a coin toss for some of these seeds...

Big Ten with 3 5 seeds...that's tough. And Indiana has to face UK in the second round!

They have to get past Chattanooga first. I think Chattanooga and Yale are both 12 seeds with a good chance at winning.

I want to see nothing more than a Yogi v Ulis matchup, but I don't have IU getting past Chattanooga.

UK would destroy IU, though.

Despite the parity in college basketball, I think this is the first time I've made a bracket without having a Cinderella in the sweet 16. If I had to pick some double digit seeds to make the Sweet 16 it would be Wichita St or Hawaii but I wouldn't be surprised if we have a year without a true Cinderella. I hope I'm wrong though.

My bracket is the same way, and if feels weird. In my bracket, the highest seed to make noise is Cincy because their bracket is butter up until Duke. I just know I'm wrong somewhere, but it's so hard to discern where.

Isn't this the definition of a Cinderella team?:D They come out of nowhere and shock the world.

I think Chattanooga, Yale, South Dakota St, and Iona are mid majors that could get to the sweet 16.

But I really like the 2nd round matchups most of the 1 and 2 seeds have in the 2nd round. Potential matchups like....

KU vs UConn
Nova vs Iowa
Oregon vs Cincy
UNC vs Providence
Xavier vs Wisconsin
Virginia vs Butler

...are all really intriguing. Michigan St and Oklahoma are the only 1/2 seeds that are locks for the sweet 16 IMO.

Don't be surprised to see big 12 teams bow out, as usual. Always overrated. And I would expect a couple pac 12 teams to get some wins.

I am in too. I have South Dakota State to the sweet 16 as well. Yes my son goes there but its totally based upon non-biased statistical analysis. ;)

I like Hawaii...and Providence will beat North Carolina. I would love to see FGCU take down North Carolina before it comes to that though

Posted my bracket... Indiana/Kentucky is a tough game. First 5 games this morning are rough... my bracket is so getting blown up.

I'm fine with that if it includes Duke losing in the 1st round again! :D

One of these years I'm going to remember to submit a time off request for March Madness.

This is usually my absolute favorite time of the year. Just doesn't feel the same though without our Illini in it again. Just have to get us back in this thing!

You're obviously a Carolina fan.;) Me too, but I'm a little different in that my dislike has only grown since my son started going there. Of course attending the football game this year didn't help much either. Hope you're right, but it is hard picking/expecting 1 seeds to lose early.

The court in Los Angeles must be slippery. Grayson Allen fell about a hundred times in the last few minutes, and now Baylor just took a spill that threw the game.
