Awww, Sh**. First Round Picks

ESPN picks its five Cinderellas, putting me in good company.

The pundits agree with my picks; Louisiana-Lafayette is a good bet against North Carolina State, Manhattan a wise call against Florida, and Dayton a favorite against Louisville.

They also confirm my gut instincts.

(St. Louis) Kansas > Illinois-Chicago
(Phoenix) Texas-El Paso > Maryland

But ESPN and I can't both be right on all five counts. Therefore, I'll side with Coach Stallings.

(Phoenix) Vanderbilt > Western Michigan

While I continue to consider...

(St. Louis) Michigan State vs. Nevada
(Atlanta) Xavier vs. Louisville
