The Politics of Dancing: Boston Hoops Party

An Interesting Bracket with your #1 Seed, the Pitt Panthers. Here are your matchups:
These games are in Dayton on Friday and Sunday...

1) Pitt ((coverage from KDKA-TV))
16) East Tennessee State ((coverage from WCYB-TV))

Do we need to go into detail?

8) Oklahoma State ((coverage from news9.com))
9) Tennessee ((coverage from Volunteer TV))

An interesting matchup of 2 wildly inconsistent teams.

These games are in Boise on Friday and Sunday...

5) Florida State ((coverage from WCTV-6))
12) Wisconsin ((coverage from NBC15 in Madison))

FSU is a hot team, they beat Carolina in the ACC Tourney. Not sure how the Badgers are here.

4) Xavier ((coverage from WKRC-TV))
13) Portland State ((coverage from KOIN-TV))

Xavier a perennial tourney team, Portland St. a perennial OSG favorite. No upsets here.

These games are in Philadelphia on Thursday and Saturday...

6) UCLA ((coverage from CBS2 in LA))
11) VCU ((coverage from WTVR-TV))

UCLA is hard to figure, VCU is always tough in this tourney. Look for them to win and Anthony Grant to head to Georgia after the tourney.

3) Villanova ((coverage from CBS3 in Philly))
14) American ((coverage from WUSA9))

Not much discussion needed here.

These games are in Greensboro on Thursday and Saturday...

7) Texas ((coverage from KEYE-TV))
10) Minnesota ((coverage from Myfoxtwincities))

Somewhat of a Tossup. Minnesota has more to gain.

2) Duke ((coverage from WRAL-TV))
15) Binghamton ((coverage from WBNG-TV))

Congrats to Binghamton, enjoy your trip. See you next year.

This region is a bit of a mismash of teams, some good, some bad. When Pittsburgh is on, they are tough to beat. We don't think anyone in this region has enough to knock them off.
