Potential First Round Upsets

These are the games I see as potential upset games. I'm not saying there are sure things but if you are looking to differentiate your bracket these first round games are possibilities.

• Iona over LSU. - Iona is just better and LSU is slumping at the wrong time
• NC State over California - Playing in the ACC prepares for the tourney
• George Mason over Michigan State- George Mason can lockup people up and I think MSU struggles to score at times

As far as the 8 vs. 9 games - Potentially the best games across the board but can not be categorized as upsets.

• I like GW over UNC-Wilmington depending on the health of Pops Mensah-Bonsu.
• Bucknell over Arkansas - No real reason just go at hunch
• Kentucky over UAB - Too much tradition
• Wisconsin over Arizona - Gotta give the nod to Coach Bo Ryan
