The huge question is.......WHAT IS TU THINKING? OK, sit by the phone long enough and somebody will call? Want to do some cyphering? How is UTEP seeded higher than TU in the NOBODY IS WATCHING, CARING, PAYING ATTENTION TO, Invitational. Biggest misnomer of the year. Only tournament that you call them and tell them you are coming.

How do you list Temple over Michigan State as a shocker but then list Mich State as a sleeper?

Did you mean they are just sleepy?

TU is still playing, mant teams are done. That is what they were thinking. Wouldn't you want to keep playing? Who cares when/where/what.
OU is going down.
ORU better pack light.
South Alabama will beat Gonzaga (for the simple fact that I want it to be so).
Otherwise, I only care if I win money from this.

Davidson over Gonzaga I really would classify as an upset in seeding only. I haven't checked the line, but Davidson might even be favored. I think they've won 22 games in a row.

Alpha Dog: Here's what TU must be thinking, not much. It has to sell 5,000 seats at $12 to break even! It owes
60k per round! Did you see the great line in the story in the World: Calls to that tourney's office were not returned!!!
Mike: You're probably right about Zona, Huggins team is full of bozos. But didn't Zona lose about 20? We never see the west teams enough.
Jeff: Mich State is a sleeper if it lives.
Zach: Gonzaga, great coach, lousy team, sort of a contradiction, isn't it.
Steve: Texas shoots too many 3's for my liking.
Matthew: Come on, high seed over low seed, gimme a break.
Objective Fan: Stay close.

Good analysis, World Picker. Bobby Knight has made one Sweet 16 appearance since 1995, and that was with Texas Tech. Expand the field? No way. In fact, the field should be 64 teams. The play in game should be eliminated. It demeans the two teams who are playing in it. Not only is Memphis a poor free throw shooting team, it is not exactly adept at shooting the three, either. Duke does not have much of an inside game which makes them a vulnerable team in the second round and beyond. Duke seems to depend too much on the outside shot. If they can't find points from their post players ,I don't see how they can make the final four. Those upsets you picked are definitely possible. That's what makes this tourney so great. Anything can happen.
