This bracket is a real ball-buster. Clemson is a tough out and Vandy is no cakewalk. Then, in the bottom of the bracket, both WI and G'town are killers.

Cinderella = Davidson. I expect them to make the elite 16 at least against USC. O.J Mayo vs. Stephen Curry. Both teams however lack the depth to beat power house Kansas.

I'm going to pick USC to advance to San Antonio. Don't ask me for a rationale.

Davidson is a very tough team with an excellent coach. I won't be surprised if they make the Sweet 16.

You're probably right, but USC was 4 points away from beating Kansas in the regular season - it took a late 3 and some free throws for Kansas to hold on. USC also took Memphis to overtime losing by 4.

I wouldn't even say that it's a lack of depth that's the problem - they've got a lot of young athletes but no depth in big men. They've got a shot, though youth and lack of size will give them trouble.

I had Georgetown going to the Final Four.
