patrick you are completely wrong about butler and winthrop...butler beat indiana, notre dame, tennessee, and gonzaga(with josh heytvelt), with two coming on the road and two on a neutral court...winthrop played four top 25 teams, three from the top 10, and those are their only four losses, including taking wisconsin to overtime and almost beating unc

I think Nevada will advance the farthest in the tournament. Memphis will collapse because they can't hit foul shots. Southern Illinois is definitely a sweet 16 threat, but probably not much farther. Bulter and Winthrop are having great seasons, but excpet for a game or two in November they are untested.
