My hardest choices were 8 and 9. I really wanted to pick Jamont Gordon from Mississippi State because I think he's the kind of player who can excel in the tournament, and I think Memphis is very vulnerable, but I didn't like anyone from the 9 seeds other than Leunen from Oregon, and Oregon plays MSU in the first round. I didn't want to play my 8 and 9 seeds against each other, because I wanted the chance to have both of them play a second round game. Not having an option I liked at the 9 seed, I ended up having to change my 8-seed.
Then I decided I didn't like having my 8-seed and 9-seed players both going against SEC competition, so I switched both of them up, returning Jamont Gordon to my team and adding Sonny Weems. This could end up backfiring horribly.
I had to pick Sundiata Gaines just because you have to root for Georgia. It's incredible what they managed to accomplish. I honestly think everyone in the world was rooting for Georgia today with the possible exception of the Arkansas players, and I bet even they had mixed feelings.
Get your teams in before the games start, and I'll keep up with everyone's stats.

Yes, I know I have Mayo and Beasley. I think USC will win but Beasley will score 40 points or so, making it a fairly typical KSU game. And I have a question: who ISN'T going to take Curry?
1. Chris Douglas-Roberts - Memphis
2. Chris Lofton - Tenn.
3. David Padgett - Louisville
4. Sam Young - Pittsburg
5. Luke Haragody - Notre Dame
6. O.J. Mayo - USC
7. Jack McClinton - Miami
8. Jamont Gordon - Miss. State
9. Sonny Weems - Arkansas
10. Stephen Curry - Davidson
11. Micheal Beasley - Kansas State
12. Dionte Christmas - Temple
13. Edwin Ubiles - Siena
14. Reggie Larry - Boise State
15. Justin Hare - Belmont
16. Jeremiah Dominguez - Portland State
