1. Michigan/16. Whomever you want
8. Georgia/9. Saint Louis
Not a great draw for my Bills having to go to Buffalo, but not a great draw for Georgia either. Two very similar teams that want to score 100 every night, and it very well could be a "race to 100" kinda game. I do trust the Bills defense more than the Dawgs, but this is the coin flips of all coin flips for me.
5. Texas Tech/12. Akron
This will be a sexy 12/5 upset for a lot of people. Akron just won the MAC and Texas Tech is without their best player, and their second best player just had a groin injury from that dumbass glass court at the Big 12 tourney. But Akron doesn't defend the 3, at all, and Tech is the 5th best 3pt shooting team in the country. I think the Raiders still come out victorious.
4. Alabama/ 13. Hofstra
I just saw news that Aiden Holloway was arrested on federal weed charges, and the Alabama program just can't get out of their own way. So many fucking distractions, every time one goes away, another pops up. Been that way since Nate Oats got there. No structure in that program, so they will never win anything with him. They probably have enough to get past Hofstra, but they may not make it out of the weekend.
6. Tennessee/Miami OH/SMU
I don't think Miami can play with Tennessee, but I think they can play with SMU. So if SMU wins I like the athletes of the Mustangs to give Rick Barnes and his guys some trouble. They always seem to fail this time of year anyway. But if Miami wins the play in game, too much SEC talent for Miami to overcome.
3. Virginia/14. Wright St.
Virginias offense right now is a wagon. If they didn't have to play Duke, they'd be on a 15 game win streak. Ryan Odom has done an outstanding job in year one in Charlottesville, and they should have no problems all weekend.
7. Kentucky/ 10. Santa Clara
This 10 could definetly win this game, but Kentucky is getting an essential home game. St. Louis will be packed with all these Kentucky hoosiers all damn weekend. They will hold the athletic advantage, but the Broncos will not be intimidated, and have the better coach. Toss up here, but I lean Kentucky cause of the crowd.
2. Iowa St/ 15. Tenn St.
This path to the final four is about as good as ISU could have asked for.

Iowa St/Michigan/Virginia/Texas Tech with Iowa St beating Michigan
