Florida and UCLA are safe picks, playing a 14th or 15th seed opponent in the round of 32 is essentially a bye.
 
Did you watch either of the last two days?

Of course I did, and guess what? These Cinderella teams are going back to earth in the 2nd round, 2013 FGCU were the only exception and they played a bad tournament team SDSU anyway. Florida and UCLA won’t let such a golden chance slip away, they will be ready to crush their weak opponents in the round of 32 and get ready for whoever they will play in sweet 16. I expect Florida to win by 20+ and UCLA by 10+.

Hard to pick a 14, 15, or 16 seed to win. I do think Oral Roberts has a decent chance to upset Florida. I think UCLA is playing too good for Abilene to pull another upset.

Nah I’d be surprised if Florida doesn’t win by at least 20. Oral Roberts played the game of their lives against OSU and won in OT, you know this ain’t sustainable. The only time a 15th seed made it to the sweet 16, that FGCU team was dominant against Georgetown, we know that this ain’t even their limit yet. Also SDSU has always been a bad tournament team anyway. Florida and UCLA both are good tournament teams when they make it here, they rarely lose to mid majors.

I predict you’ll throw in the towel if KU’s down by more than 3 points at any point in the second half. Laughing

I could see USC winning by double digits, especially if Wilson isn’t available, but I think Self will outcoach this guy. He does his best work as a dog. Plus, I think Wilson’s in thanks to the late start.

Think LSU is going to punk Michigan and I can't wait. If they lose I'll be disappointed in them. Of the teams I think are going down
these are the ones.

Well Kansas, Michigan and UCLA don’t play till Monday so I’d be willing to bet they don’t lose today.
