So which Cinderella does everyone think has the best shot of continuing their wild ride in the tournament?

We got:
Northern Iowa-Michigan St.
Cornell-Kentucky
St. Mary's-Baylor
Washington-West Virginia

Kentucky should kill Cornell inside and I think Baylor has too much athleticism for St. Mary's. I think UNI and Washington stand a good chance though.

I'd go with Washington, as the team most likely to pull the upset. They're playing some of their best basketball of the season, making a run in the pac 10 tourney then pulling off two upsets here. The pace they play at is also just ridiculous.

Northern Iowa.

Michigan State just lost their best player, Kalin Lucas, for the tournament. It could be a motivating factor for the Spartans, but I think it will be their downfall.

Ya, as an MSU alum that's a tough blow. They did extend their lead over Maryland without Lucas, but a whole game will be a different story I fear. I think they can beat UNI, that team relies heavily on having a good shooting day and with the way MSU owns the boards any shooting struggles would be exaggerated. MSU loses a lot in terms of penetration from the guards, so they'll have to get the ball inside to Roe and Green in order to make some room outside for the shooters. It'll be tough, but if there's a coach out there that can pull it off it's Izzo.

Agreed, I think Izzo is great.

I almost always pick State to go deep in the tourney because he gets them ready to play their best at tournament time.

I'm never concerned when State is down at the half, he always seems to pull something off to get them back in the game.

A great guy too, my football season tickets for the last 4 seasons were right behind the basketball team and he spent tons of time taking pictures with people and signing autographs with a smile on his face.

Can they cancel all of kentucky's wins right now or do they have to wait for two years until it becomes clear how many guys coach Calipari paid after he goes to the NBA?
