The possibilty of a Duke-Arizona second rounder is music to my ears. What a matchup. Also, having Duke and Carolina in the same bracket is magic as well....an elite 8 matchup looms large.

Three Washington state schools in the tourney - E-dubb, the Huskies and the Zags are all in, but the Eagles of Eastern Washington are in extremely tough with a red-hot Okie State team in the opening round. Zaga are playing in Seattle so you know home court advantage will be a key.

A team I'd want to stay away from would be Maryland, who were amazing down the stretch and into the ACC tourney. Williams has one a tourney before (2001), but I'd consider them more of a sleeper for an elite 8 team than an actual champion. Stanford will not be looking forward to a possible Terrapin collision in the sweet 16.

I'll go one step further than the Captain and claim that this could be the first year a #1 seed loses to a #16 - St. Joes goes down to Liberty, who come in winning 15 of their last 19. Go Flames!
