Two of them have Memphis in the Final Four.

That's the KD factor.

Thanks for sharing. I saw that earlier. Amazing that NO ONE took (1) Purdue!

I agree.

Actually a couple did, but they are at the bottom so it's easy to miss. But still for a #1 seed to get that little "support" says something about Purdue. Especially since Memphis had as many picks as they did.

...and maybe a little bit of the DW factor

Yes

Have you EVER seen so many picks for the #5 seed? And so few for the #1?

The breakdown is, if I counted correctly:

2 votes for #1 Purdue
11 votes for #2 Marquette
1 vote for #3 Kansas State
0 votes for #4 Tennessee
26 votes for #5 Duke

Is this not a strange distribution?

I agree that is strange especially considering no #5 has won it. It could happen eventually, but is this Duke team the one to end that streak? They have a lot of size, but they have quite a few double-digit losses.

I don’t believe a 5 seed has ever won the championship…

A 5 seed has never won a national championship. An 8 seed has though.

I like Kevin Brown and Matt Martucci. Good picks guys!

1985 Villanova. Time for Memphis to end the drought.

I'm shocked. ESPN normally gives us ZERO respect.

Guitarman posted their names unless I'm missing something on why you say it's only one.

Because it's Duke...ESPN has a unhealthy obsession for the Blue Devils.
