I entered the yahoo contest just filling it in one game at a time and ended with Florida State beating Marquette 77-71. Historically I have been right less than 10% of the time.

Jay Bilas thinks Memphis got a brutal a matchup and was underseeded(??) by the Committee

Pomeroy loved both of those teams. His numbers had SLU at #15, one spot behind Baylor. Memphis was at #9, one spot behind Mizzou. If either had gotten a better seed, I imagine they both would have had a really good shot at the Sweet 16. Instead, they're fighting for the right to play a 1 seed.

I can't think of anything better than a SLU-Mizzou matchup to determine who goes to the final four. I give it about the same odds of happening as I would have a Cards-Brewers NLCS last August. One can dream.

So what's break even for Mizzou? Losing in the Sweet Sixteen? I'm trying to temper my expectations.

After the year they had, I think anything less than a Final Four is a disappointment.

I'm really surprised Temple got to stay as high as #17 after falling to UMass in their first A10 Tournament match.

If you're going to have to play a #1 seed in this tournament, it might as well be Michigan State.

Depends on disappointment I guess. If they lose to Michigan State in the Elite 8, I'll be really bummed, but I won't be shocked and saddened like if they were to lose to Norfolk State or Virginia. Unfortunately though, they've played well enough that they really do need 3 wins at a minimum, which is never an easy thing to do. I'm hoping their ridiculous scoring balance helps carry them through.
