Pitt or Texas A&M winning wouldn't really be an upset. Who has the best chance to knock off the higher seed? We know at least one of these teams will win, so who do you have?

joey....im a ut grad (i believe we have collaborated on answers before), but ohio state will stop lofton as best they can (any good team will be sure he doesnt beat them)....just like virginia did in the second half the other day....although he did close the game with the free throws (very impressive how they got him the ball through double teams).
he should have a decent game, but the rest of the team is gonna have to step up big time to win. i think they will have a shot, and thats all you can ask for is a shot, when oden will have 35 and 20 (he was injured last time and he had 25 and 15 or something)....we have nothing to stop oden, he will get his. we just have to withstand it in the end, force turnovers for easy baskets, and hit the 3's. i think we will be right in this game at the end, but im not sure about double digits when they can just feed the ball to oden and score almost every time.
however..........GOOOOOOOO VOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i actually don't think any of these will happen, because their competition is extremely strong, although it appears we're due for some upsets in this tournament because there have hardly been any...as for the best chance, i think tennessee, because they hung with ohio state all 40 minutes in columbus and had a great chance to win that game, and now they'll be playing on a neutral floor, although the buckeyes are a better team now than they were
as for the rest of those teams, butler will hang around for a while because their style will bother florida some, but the gators will pull away...unlv will be in it all the way against oregon, but the ducks are playing a little too well right now...siu does not have enough offense to beat kansas...vandy can't handle georgetown's post play...usc is very athletic but also fairly consistent and will not be able to run for 40 minutes against unc
finally, i think pitt would be an upset, considering ucla will be playing virtually a home game...pitt doesn't have the guard play to match up with the bruins

UNLV - the Running Rebels have been playing great so far this tourney - beating Georgia Tech (who I picked to go to the sweet 16) and taking down Wisconsin with no problem. Plus I don't think Oregon can match up with UNLV underneath as Oregon usually plays with a 4 guard set... also Oregon almost lost to Miami of Ohio in the first round and I just don't think they are worthy of that number 3 seed

Tennessee baby they have the shooting talent to beat anybody. They have repeatedly upseted teams this year such as (16) Memphis, (15) Oklahoma St, Texas, LSU (23) Vanderbilt, (20) Kentucky, (25) Alabama and (5) Florida

Something tells me that Southern Illinois is going to make life difficult tomorrow night for Kansas. They can slow the game down and find a way to frustrate Wright and Rush. When Kansas played Oklahoma and the Sooners took the air out of the ball, Kansas fought for their life to win.

Butler I dont think Florida is going to be able to change how Butler plays, I do think that Florida is going to get caught trying to play Butlers style though and its going to cost them the game. I know that everyone has Butler losing this game, and they have them losing big but it isnt going to happen. Butler continues to do what they have done all year, and thats beat teams that people think they shouldnt.

i think that unlv has the best chance for an upset but i think that oregon will be too much for them in the end. im hoping that texas a&m will win as i have oregon and texas a&m in the finals with oregon winning.
