Got this from EMAW site, but it's pretty good way of seeing what everyone's thoughts are on the tournament... so I'm bringing it over (sorry if someone else already has)...
What's your thoughts on -
1) #1 seed most likely to Lose first?
2) Team seeded 10-13 most likely to make sweet 16?
3)...
Surprised they didn't throw in a t-shirt or something too... :)

Wife and I are taking an 8 day vacation to Hawaii, staying on Oahu (no island hopping since the flight and resort are all on miles). Who's got tips on places to go, see, eat, do, etc?
I'd love any and all info.
Thanks CFs!
Per Scout.com - I'll add links as additional teams are available. Here are the first few out, and I'll put them in order so we've got a compiled list later.

Riskiest hire: Fred Hoiberg was more than just a great player at Iowa State. He was a cultural icon, the Ames native who sank feather jump shots and went by the nickname "The Mayor." That qualifies him to be the guest speaker at a booster function but not necessarily a head coach in the Big 12...
Good and bad write up for Harrison... but constructive criticism is all.

Harrison Barnes, 6-6, 206, Ames, Iowa: Allow me to damn Barnes with faint praise. For someone who is widely recognized as one of...
I love a fanbase that can laugh at itself... seems too many take themselves way too seriously. This is pretty priceless, wish we had come up with it!

Tough draw... road game, against the 4th place team in that conference that returns the entire team. Definitely will be a test for us...

Craig Brackins, 6-10 sophomore forward, Iowa State: "He's eventually going to be a pro, but I don't think he's ready physically right now. He has good agility, and he has a small forward's game in a big forward's body. He's not clumsy like a lot of big guys, but when he makes moves off the...

These are pretty good; I particularly enjoyed:

Brrrrrrrrppppptttpphhttthwwwwpbrrpt. Ha, ha. Very funny. No, really who did they hire?†… Nick Saban’s first words after being told Auburn hired Gene Chizik. Soon after, an intern cleaned up the lemonade fired out by Saban’s spittake.

I don't necessarily agree with all of this; however, I think the review of our run defense is pretty accurate. However - turnovers will be huge, and we've made veteran teams turn the ball over frequently so far, so I think that's a huge advantage for us with a frosh qb, young rb and such for...
I thought this was just an interesting chart for everyone to see. This is absolutely crazy; I also see how a school like Cal can be so high seeing that they probably have to bend the rules a lot more to get near the athletes they get/want...
But hey, at least we don't ruin our moral compass...
CFN releases their Big 10 upcoming picks on Wednesday ( a day before the Big XII are put up on their website) - so we get the preview a little early.
