Headlines: Three SEC teams (Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee) in SW16! Three Big-East teams (Xavier, Creighton, UConn) in SW16! Two State of Florida teams in the SW16: Florida Atlantic, Miami! Two state of Texas teams: Houston, Texas. Two California teams: San Diego St, UCLA.

I think that the K State vs MSU game should be a good one as well as the Gonzaga vs UCLA game. Maybe Texas vs Xavier might be close. All the others would be upsets but upsets happen.
