Predicting Round 1 of the NCAA Tournament Part 1

                 VS.




NCAT Games Against AP T25: L #24 Cincinnati 93-39 (11/18/12)

Liberty Games Against AP T25: None

Matchup: Although Liberty doesn't have any notable games I still believe they beat North Carolina A&T. Liberty, statistically is better than NCAT and the only notable games NCAT has is against Cincy, which they got blown out of the stadium!

How Far They Will Go: Liberty wins this one, but doesn't make it out of the Round of 64.



Game 2: Tuesday March 19th, 9:10pm, TRU TV


         #11 Saint Mary's                                                                          #11 Middle Tennessee

SMC Games Against AP T25: #9/5/1 Gonzaga (L/L/L) (1/10-83-78, 2/14-77-60, 3/11-65-51)

Mid Ten Games Against AP T25: L #10 Flordia 66-45 (11/18/12)

Matchup: St. Mary's lost 6 games this year, half of them coming from Gonzaga, a #1 seed in this tournament. Middle Tennessee only had one chance to prove itself and unfortunately, they had to play a very hard team in Florida. I believe St. Mary's games against Zaga will prove useful as Mid Tennessee hasn't played a game against a top team in almost 4 months.

How Far They Will Go: St. Mary's will win this one, but they will have to take on Memphis after this. Beating Memphis isn't out of the question but I think Memphis takes that one.


Tomorrow We Will Have---

#16 LIU Brooklyn vs. #16 JMU
#13 La Salle vs. #13 Boise State
