Morehead State won 12 out of 13 coming into the NCAA Tournament. Louisiville lives by the three point shot. If Morehead State can get out early and catch Louisville maybe on a cold shooting day, I think Morehead State can be a Giant Killer riding a hot streak and trying to avenge their lose to Louisville in the 2009 tourney.

Belmont in the Sweet 16.

Debating whether or not Louisville can take out Kansas and make it to the final 4.

This. One name on that Morehead St. squad is Kenneth Farried. Billy Donovan said after their game against them earlier this season that this guy is NBA ready. This guy is a beast downlow and Morehead St. hung with Florida @ Florida and was only down 7 to Ohio St. with 6 min left @ Ohio St.

I'm thinking that more than half of the Big East teams go down in Round 1 or Round 2. I think the big shocker of the 1st round is that UConn gets taken out by Bucknell. I also could see North Carolina getting a real scare from Long Island, the recent Tarheel M.O. of playing like crap for 20-30 minutes and then going on a huge run is going to bite them and soon. I know it's a trendy pick, but I see Wisconsin going down to Belmont as well

That said, though I see a lot of Big East teams going down, I agree with those above who have Louisville going deep. I wouldn't be surprised to see them win the whole thing. A lot of pundits have Morehead St. as a Cinderella, but I fail to see how a team with a assist/turnover ratio of less than 1 playing mostly substandard opponents will be able to handle the Louisville press.

LOL @ all the BEAST hate. They have what they have because they dominated OOC play, have by far the most quality OOC wins and won the majority of in season tournaments.

Nothing was handed to them. Not sure why people think they're going to start losing to teams and conferences they've beaten all year.

Good luck with that

I have TN over Duke & WA over UNC

TN may be a stretch, I don't think WA is.

I think UAB may get to S16 after being mocked all week

looking at both Utah St & Belmont as well

I could not imagine at least one BE team in the Final 4 - the conference is football's version of the SEC on steroids - and that's every year

good grief people can talk themselves into anything.

well, there will be upsets in the 1st two rounds, finding them ain't easy

it's hard to win the bracket picking all chalk, if not impossible. So you pick some upsets and hope you pick the right ones. If not, you lose anyway.
