Connecticut gets the #1 seed here over Memphis, and this one also includes a fired-up Missouri team coming off a Big 12 tourney title and Purdue (getting Robbie Hummel back) winning the Big Ten tournament.
Post your predictions, potential upsets and sleepers here.

I hope BYU can win a couple of games, but I don't know how well they would match up against UConn (who they would potentially run into in the 2nd round).

As much as I hate to say it, UConn takes the West Region.

I like Memphis' chances. Tough game will be Mo. Win that and I think we can get by UConn.

Having lived in Big 12 country for all my life, this is perhaps the first time I've seen a Missouri basketball team a) have expectations, and b) live up to them.
After watching the game against Memphis tonight, I have a newfound respect for this program. (This is coming from a Jayhawk alum.) Granted, it became clear that nobody from Memphis could hit a shot from further than five feet outside the basket, but having been an eyewitness to colossal underachievements from this school (or, in the rare instance, an underachieving team during the season makes a tourney run), it's odd to see both expectations and fulfillment from this program.
Congrats, Mizzou. There might be a foundation for a winning program for once.
