Lowest seeds I have advancing....2 12's, NMSU and Murray State, but just to the round of 32.
Lowest seed I have going to Sweet 16.....2 6's....UF and scUM.
Champ....KU.
MW - toughest bracket argument doesn't stick when KU has teams on their side like Clemson, NC State, and Seton Hall, all of which can lose to anyone, and a beat to hell Auburn that won't go that deep, I see Duke and Sparty beating the hell out of each other and not having anything left for KU in the final.
E - chalk for me except UF playing and losing to Purdue in the sweet sixteen, Gregg Marshall having a few days to prep for Villanova could be very interesting.
W - y'all know I love Chris Holtmann, and I think he gets OSU past the Zags to the sweet 16, Heels cruise to the Final Four here though, their toughest game might be Sunday in Charlotte against Providence (note - had a friend of mine in the Triangle snatch a couple of tix for the Sunday session, I'll be there, should be fun).
S - I see UK staying hot enough to take out UVA in the round of 16, but my gut for awhile has liked Cincinnati a whole bunch, I like their coach and swag, and see them taking out UK in the final....I have scUM going to the sweet sixteen simply because whenever the media latches on to a darling team, in this case Loyola-Chicago, that team usually tanks.....I'm not buying the UcheaT hype either, Barnes is a choker, and will demonstrate that trait quite well.
