The Politics of Dancing: No Walking In Memphis

These games are in Greensboro on Thursday and Saturday...
Too bad the Pyramid still doesn't host games, but still this region should be fun.

1) North Carolina ((coverage from wralsportsfan.com))
16) Radford ((coverage from WDBJ7))

The Egg Dome versus the Dean Dome. Eggs Break.

8) LSU ((coverage from WBRZ-TV2))
9) Butler ((coverage from WISH-TV))

Intriguing matchup, Butler a perennial Cinderella who you don't want to see this time of year.

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

5) Illinois ((coverage from WICD-TV 15))
12) Western Kentucky ((coverage from WBKO-TV))

There is always a 5/12 Upset in this tournament and this is a good a pick as any of them.

4) Gonzaga ((coverage from KHQ/Q6))
13) Akron ((coverage from WOIO-TV))

Gonzaga used to be a Tourney darling, but they are always here, never bet against them early.

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

6) Arizona State ((coverage from KPHO-TV))
11) Temple ((coverage from CBS3))

If John Chaney were still the coach we'd say watch out. Not this time.

3) Syracuse ((coverage from WSYR-TV))
14) Stephen F. Austin ((coverage from Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel/KTRE.com))

The Overtime men versus the Bionic Men. Overtime wins...in regulation.

These games are in Kansas City on Thursday and Saturday...

7) Clemson ((coverage from WSPA-TV))
10) Michigan ((coverage from WXYZ-TV))

We aren't sure how Michigan is here...they won't be for long.

2) Oklahoma ((coverage from newsok.com))
15) Morgan State ((coverage from WJZ-TV))

Even if it were "Captain Morgan", Oklahoma won't lose to a 15 seed.

This bracket should pretty much hold to form. We'd like to see an Oklahoma/North Carolina matchup in the finals. We wouldn't bet against the Sooners.

Here's your bracket from CBS Sports...
