And, of course, Middle Tennessee State over Minnesota. Make sure you fellas get that on your brackets.

ETSU, Princeton, Nevada.........MTSU, Rhody (not sure these two will be considered upsets by most)

Rhode Island at 11 is a joke. They are easily one of the 25 most dangerous teams in this tournament.

agree..i think Rhody can make a run to sweet 16/elite 8 also bias because My pops is a two sport alum from URI. He is heading out to Sacramento to see them and Iona play. I know he will be pulling for your Gaels Baldi.

I think it might be considered more of an upset to take Minnesota to beat Mid Tenn. Pretty sure over 50% of brackets will have Mid Tenn winning that game. The line is Mid Tenn -1

Football (2 Years)/ Baseball 4 years -Yankee Conference.....I wish a couple of these Northeast guys were playing for the Johniees....Martin, Terrell and Iverson.....Dont like rooting against Big East schools in tourney but i am jumping on the Rhody bandwagon and would love to see Rhody/Iona in round 2.  TBH Iona and the whole NCAA tourney caught a huge break when Boucher went down. Oregon went from Final 4 to contender to team that might get bounced on first weekend.

Pops was a good athlete. I'm rooting for RHode Island also, big Danny Hurley fan.

Let's see what Jordan Washington can do

Would be a great start to tourney if princeton can come back (down 6 at half) and unc w take down two acc teams and have 3 out in first 6 games
