NCAA: Round 2 Predictions

16 games. I tell you who's gonna win 'em. NOW.

Starting in Atlanta, the upper left-hand corner of my bracket...

Duke
LSU
West Virginia
NC St

Comments: Herb Sendek knocked off a 2-seed in the 2nd round last year. He'll do it again tomorrow against the poopy-colored Longhorns.

-----

Now the city by the bay. No, the other city. Oakland.

Memphis
Bradley
Gonzaga
UCLA

Comments: I liked what I saw from Bradley. They reminded me of past Cinderellas who stuck around a couple rounds. Lot's of moxy. You can't teach moxy. You're born with it. I should know. (Is it spelled moxie or moxy?)

-----

The biggest city in the District of Columbia...Washington.

UConn

(Interlude: They just showed a bunch of highlights from the last 25 years of NCAA. It included one of the most underrated plays in sports history: Hak Warrick's block against Kansas to preserve the lead in the finals. It also included Julie Boeheim. I have nothing more to add about that.)

Illinois
UNC
Wichita St.

Comments: Washington-Illinois is a toss-up. But both are better teams than Tennessee, who loses to another great MVC team.

-----

St.Paul's wishes it was hosting an NCAA region, but instead it's Minneapolis.

Villanova
Boston College
UW-Milwaukee
Ohio State

Comments: Every year a team beats Florida in the first 2 rounds. This year, it's UW-Milwaukee. Some things never change.

i am from Waukesha, WI and it is 30 minutes away from the US Cellular arena and i hav been to almost all of their home games. I think that they will get killed by Florida. They dont hav the size to match up with Florida.
