- San Diego State and Virginia could meet in the 2nd round. If so.... the first team to 40 wins.

- I can see Kansas losing to Arkansas in the 2nd round.

- I can see Laranaga upsetting Houston and getting to the Elite Eight.

- Duke is the worst possible 4/5 seed that Purdue could have had in their bracket. Proctor, Whitehead, Roach, and Grandison will absolute abuse Purdue's guards. Can you really imagine Ethan Morton guarding Roach? LOL. And Filipowski will force Edey to either have to come out from the paint to defend - or Purdue will have to put someone like Gillis on Filipowski - which will be a massive mismatch for Duke. And the 7' combo of Filipowski and Lively will more than hold their own defending the 7'4" Edey's baby hooks.

- My pick to win the whole tournament is Texas.

- The most likely 10+ seed to make the Sweet 16: VCU
- The most likely 8+ seed to make the Elite 8: Memphis and Arkansas
- The most likely 13+ seed to win a game: Iona and Kent State
