Going with the underdog they came a long way ?

UCLA....11 seed...interesting. That's where Mick Cronin (formally U Cincy) resides. His teams always tough, hard nosed D. Gonzaga will be a huge test for them.

I'm going with Gonzaga. It's about time for them to wear the slippers. They don't have a deep bench though.

Baylor v Houston should be a helluva game (I hope)...I think both should be but, I don't see a chink in Gonzaga other than bench depth. Just mho...

Houston shooters just aren't squaring up to shoot. Like they seem rushed to shoot the ball.
