First Round Upsets

[bestj]

Doesn't seem that this will be the first time a 16 will beat a 1 seed.
The 2 seeds should have easy first round games.

Of course we always have a 13 over a 4 and a 12 over a 5 every year.

4.Maryland vs 13.Houston
4.Wisconsin vs 13.Wofford
4.Vanderbilt vs 13.Murray St
4.Purdue vs 13. Sienna

Imo, Sienna over Purdue is the most likely.

5.Michigan St vs 12.New Mexico St.
5.Temple vs 12.Cornell
5.Butler vs 12.UTEP
5.Texas A&M vs 12.Utah St.

Outside of the Mich St game, the other 3 are possible upsets. Sounds like the UTEP over Butler is the popular upset according to the talking heads. But I think it will be Cornell over Temple.

Does anyone think any 3 seeds will go down?
Georgetown should win, Pittsburgh I think will make it to the elite eight. Surely Baylor can beat Sam Houston St., but could be an interesting game. New Mexico vs Montana might be a good game. But I think all 3 seeds move on to the 2nd round.

I have NM State over Mich State and UTEP over Butler, and Sienna could be a Sweet 16 team. I think St. Mary's could be a Sweet 16 team also. Marray State/Vandy looks tempting.

Purdue is a former shell of itself because of injuries. Sienna has won some games in NCAA tournaments recently....and they have a senior-laden team. Sienna could very well win that game going away.

UTEP is a trendy pick...they seem to be underseeded.

And look out for Murray State. They are athletic and could pose some problems for Vandy if the 3's aren't falling for the Commodores.

Siena made a sweet 16 a few years ago.

I don't know if UTEP should have been higher then a 12 seed; their resume's best win was UAB and they had some bad losses. I'm not saying its their fault, just a product of their schedule. Had they played more tough teams they definitely could have had better wins, and thus I think they can make a nice run in the tourney. They're definitely talented.

I agree with Murray State and Sienna though. I can definitely see those upsets.
