Give me Holy Cross over the highly-touted SIU Salukis. HC has tourney experience against giants such as ky and kansas, and has fared very well against those majors. Plus, how can you root against a college called "Holy Cross"

I agree, but you can't be giving this information out for free. Everyone will copy on their brackets.

I thought about Holy Cross, but in the end went with Oral Roberts instead.

come on guys Winthrop is the sleeper!!! I keep hearing Winthrop and sleeper in the same sentence, but isn't a sleeper somebody nobody really expects to win pulling it out?? Most of the media types are loving some Winthrop

with that said I have ORU going to the sweet 16.....

If you look at my location, then you probably know why I make this pick.

Im going with ODU. They made a run to the Sweet 16 once before, they are an unbelievably talented squad, made a run toe MSG in the NIT last year and took Michigan State to the limit the year before that. I have ODU at least making a run to the round of 16 before losing to my national champion pick, Florida.

I honestly have no idea how Washington State got a 3 seed...but they did get stuck with a very tough 14 seed, so i guess it works out....and Vanderbilt and GW are nothing to be scared of

Can I make Washington St. my sleeper pick? They're pretty good but they're no 3 seed.

I have ODU making to the second round...and I have been back and for about that second round game...but my gut tells me they won't make it past the second round....but they very well could

I picked Winthrop to win their first game, and ODU also, but the lowest seed team I had winning was ORU, therefore they are my "sleeper." I also have Oregon in the Final 4.

I almost put Oregon in the final 4 beating Florida in the reginal final....but I just think Florida is the better team...but if Oregon gets hot like they did against USC then they can beat anybody

Glad to see somebody else feeling it for ORU. I have them in my Sweet 16 as well. I'm surprised you guys have even heard of a Mo Valley squad.

I have followed them some throughout the past couple of seasons because I have a couple of friends at ORU...they are a good team, nobody is really talking about them that much.....they are too focused on the "lovable" Winthrop Eagles to care about any other mid major team....

If everything stays as it is, I'll be perfect through the first 7 games. Keep it up ODU.

I think everyone had ODU winning. I had Davidson getting the nod over Maryland and then beating Old Dominion. I might as well bow out now.
