The WCC already started but Gonzaga is my pick regardless so I will go ahead.

WCC: Gonzaga
A-10: Dayton
MW: Colorado State
AAC: Houston
BE: Nova
ACC: Duke
B1G: Wisconsin
SEC: Auburn
Big 12: Baylor
Pac-12: Oregon

Ivy: Yale

All these dudes picking Houston. I bet they lose before the final, which would really hurt SMU if they get to it.

Lose before the final? Who are we gonna lose to, ECU, whom we crushed 79-36 earlier this year? Cincinnati, whom we beat by an average of 20.0? Temple, whom we just crushed 84-46? Tulane played us relatively tough but come on, we won by double digits. The only nightmare matchup is Memphis and that wouldn't be until the finals. Nobody's stopping us from getting to that point.

West Coast : Gonzaga

SF Friday/Championship Saturday
Atlantic Coast (ACC): Duke

Big 12: Kansas

The MWC wasn't on the list of required picks. You can use them as your wild card pick or the Ivy League.

Use the Ivy as my wild card pick.

Those of you who picked Iona can repick. The rule is your picks are locked after a conference's semifinals start.
