Meanwhile, in the Other Brackets

UCLA, being the media darling it is, was once again given an early-round cakewalk. Boise State? San Diego State?

Are you kidding me?

UCLA faces a sterner test in Virginia, and if they get by Virginia, I can't help but to think UCLA will face Portland. So, for the Bruins it gets tougher from here.

In the FSU bracket, we have by and large the usual suspects Notre Dame, Tex A&M and FSU. Seeded UF is out. UND, as always, worries me. They might be surging at the right time.

Then we have the UNC bracket. UNC is faced with rival Maryland. Maryland teams might not always have a corner on elite talent, but you underestimate them at your peril. The UMD - UNC rivalry is real and intense. Throw the records out the window. I still have to think UNC comes out on top, though.

Hold on Lassie, it gets bumpy from here.
