We’ve reached the end! The tournament tips off shortly, but for now enjoy one last batch of haiku to get you ready:
1. Virginia
Cavs looked great in league
Complaints about the schedule
Ignore their great D
16. Coastal Carolina
They’re a baseball school
But I have just one question:
What’s a Chanticleer?
8. Memphis
Memphis fans restless?
Since Josh Pastner took over
Just 1 tourney win
9. George Washington
The Colonials
Are in the running for most
Patriotic team
5. Cincinnati
Bearcats great on D
But they have struggled on O
Will they use their size?
12. Harvard
Caused upset last year
Popular pick this year; Can
Harvard stand success?
4. Michigan State
Popular pick for
title. But heed my advice:
Beware the Blue Hens
13. Delaware
Home of the vice pres
and Flacco. Davon Usher:
Blue Hens’ next hero?
6. North Carolina
Providence fans ask
one thing: are we bad enough
To beat UNC?
11. Providence
The over/under
On minutes played by Cotton
Has to be 40
3. Iowa State
Popular sleeper
But Cyclones shot poorly from
Three in Big 12 play
14. NC Central
Have no idea
Who in the heck these guys are
But they’re stout on D
7. UConn
Three years ago, it
was Kemba. Now this year, is
it Shabazz’s turn?
10. St. Joe’s
Everyone loves Phil
But I think we’d rather see
2. Villanova
No one gives Nova
A chance; most underrated
2 seed of all time?
15. UW-Milwaukee
In the news lately
For one of their old coaches
Auburn boss Bruce Pearl
