After what I saw from them late in the year and in their conference tourney's these are the teams I'm looking to FADE...
 
Gonzaga and St. Mary's - I think they both just looked pathetic in the WCC tourney. I think any decent team from another conference will knock them out. Go DAVIDSON! GO MIAMI!
 
Vanderbilt - They are great home and not so great on the road, just 2-6 on the road in SEC play. They're just 2-3 in March after reeling off 7 straight wins in February which included a win over then #1 Tennessee. I think I'll FADE...
 
Memphis - I don't think they'll make it to the Final Four. They're too erratic and a terrible FT shooting team. I can't wait to jump on Michigan St. or Pitt against them in the Sweet 16. If that doesn't work I'll be all over Stanford or Texas with a trip to the Final Four at stake.
 
Who are YOU going against???

Interesting on UNLV...I was kinda thinking of adding them in as well. I'm curious to know your thoughts on this.

I like Davidson to get to the Elite 8. I still am working to see who I have to come out in the upper part of that bracket and depending on who that is, I may even have them reaching the final 4. There they will face NC again and I will need to see how Lawton is doing at that point. If he does not have his wheels going, Davidson will have a REAL Shot to get to the Finals.

  I am not 100% sold on Kansas. I am hoping that Clemson plays like they have been and get by Nova in the first round. After that, they will have most likely Vandy ......I still like Sienna so this is not final and then maybe Kansas. Kansas, I am hoping, will have to play Kent St and hopefully Clemson before getting to Davidson. 

 Michigan St. is a Fade for me ........Indiana

  I'm not sold on Xavier either, while I like them a lot, but if Georgia squeaks out a win here, I see them facing Duke in the Elite 8.

UNLV is IMO getting credit for their two blowout wins against BYU which both happened AT HOME and seemingly against a half-motivated Cougar team. On the road, UNLV has been no more than OK, and having watched Kent State saturday, I get the impression they're really peaking for the tourney.

I'm thinking Arizona may be a fade for me as well. They're just 4-8 in their last 12 and probably should not have gotten in at just 19-14 overall. West Virginia has wins over UConn and Pitt in the past couple weeks...

You've solidified my thinking...I pretty much had the same viewpoint. They were lucky to have the tourney on their home floor once again. GO KENT!

I agree on AZ, but I am not that BIG on WV. AZ can get lucky here in this spot. They have the talent to beat the BIG DOGS, it's just do they come and play like they want to. WV goes as that Big white KID goes. If they can shut his ass down, AZ can win and advance with a date with Pukie Dookie. Much Respect Coach K and congrats on the Wins!!! Anyways, AZ has been one of those sleeper teams in the past, but have sucked in recent years, but they could take out Duke. I am still stuck at certain parts in the bracket as I need to do more work, but that lower half of the West Region is not set in stone and I can see a lot of craziness happening.

Kent St is solid all the way around, at home and on the road....

Purdue is Probably a Fade .....too young to make any real noise. They have what it takes, but as you look at their season, as the pressure mounted, these kids folded. It will be a Great year for them regardless, with a lot to build off of and should be a force to deal with in the BIG 10 next year.

  While Baylor is unstable, I agree Papi, they should take care of Purdue in the first round ......

  I like Davidson a lot and think they are going to be my sleeper. I like them to get by GT and then have a good feeling could get by Kansas, but I have Clemson taking them out and I don't think that Davidson matches up so good there against Clemson's Crazy D.

I mentioned St. Mary's and haven't gotten any feedback on that...
 
Anybody have any thoughts? I like the way Miami has been playing and I think they bounce St. Mary's...

Hey linde, are you big on Memphis? I won't be fading them or playing them in the 1st round (they could win by 15 or they could win by 50). I might start fading in the 2nd round or possibly wait until the Sweet 16, but, definitely fade in the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 (if they make it).

What are your thoughts linde?
