Be careful with:
5) Wisconsin
12) James Madison
5) Gonzaga
12) McNeese State (very very good mid major team, same as Gonzaga, but McNeese is dangerous too)
4) Kansas (slumping, lots of injuries)
13) Samford (run and gun kind of team, fast pace scoring)
6) Clemson
11) New Mexico
7) Florida (injuries)
10) Boise State/Colorado winner
2) Tenn
15) St Peters (remember them ?!?!) lol
Just on the top of my head. May be other to watch too.

I thought about McNeese St, with only 3 losses, but they also haven't played one team in the tournament. I agree with New Mexico being close. I like Wash St in the 2nd round...and maybe 3rd.
I had 3 really tough picks yesterday, though I just made picks quickly for now to have it filled out and was going to go back later.
I thought SDSU and Auburn was really tough. I don't really remember the others. Maybe Nebraska and TX A&M....I think they were. The last one I can't remember, but it could have been Mich St/Miss St or Creighton/Tennessee (of course that would be a later round matchup).

Re: March Madness Bracket Challenge- make your picks!
Preliminary games tonite.
The 10 seed and 16 seed play in games and also tomorrow.
Earlier today, Wagner Seahawks beats Howard Bison by 3 points. Back and forth here and there throughout the game. 16 seed play in.
Right now its Colorado State Rams beating UVA Cavaliers early in the game. UVA had early lead, but CSU now leads. Boring low scoring UVA. lol
Indiana State should have gotten in . Sycamores are 1 seed in the NIT.
Tomorrow 16th seed play in Grambling State Tiger/Montana State Bobcats and 10th seed play ins Boise State Broncos/Colorado Buffs.

Yup!
Committee made a bad mistake picking boring azz low scoring Virginia over Indiana State.
UVA hasn't score in a long time, gettin blown out by Colorado State. Halftime. 27-14
Indiana State would beat boring UVA by double digits.

It's tough for me....I was planning on picking Houston for sure but all the talk about their injuries has me a bit concerned. So for now I'm going with UConn. But that was on the fast fill out. Gonna do a bit more research on some teams.

Didn't a DC-area university have an upset a year or 2 ago? I think Big10 ball is over-rated so yeah I'll make that pick. I know Vols have a reputation as chokers... but not in the first round. Would be good for laughs!

Lol, Gotcha. On the Vols.
St Peters made a deep run last season as a 15 seed as well, all the way to the Elite Eight! Deepest run ever by a 15 seed. A couple of years ago.
15 seeds , 4 of them have made it to the Sweet 16: 2013 FGCU (FL Gulf Coast) Eagles, 2021 ODU (Oral Roberts) Titans/Golden Eagles, 2022 St Peters Peacocks, and last season Princeton Tigers.
Yes.
UMBC! Maryland Baltimore County Golden Retrievers. DMV (DC, Maryland/VA ) area team.
They were the first ever 16 seed to win over a 1 seed (UVA). 2018.
Then last season, Farleigh Dickinson (FDU) Knights became the 2nd 16 seed to beat a 1 seed (Purdue BoilerMakers) last season.

I keep going back between Tennessee and Creighton in the elite 8.

Yeah, I'm also wondering if either of those teams could beat Purdue. I know they could, but just wondering about the chances. Purdue is one of AZ's two non conf losses, the other one being in OT to FAU.
