How I've Done So Far...1-1...Not too bad. For anyone who doesn't know me, my sport of expertise is football, so for me, predicting anything outside of that is a shot in the dark. My Bracket Challenge, with Mike starts tomorrow. I will keep you all updated!

VS.
LIU Games Against AP T25: L #8 Kentucky 104-75 (11/23/12)
JMU Games Against AP T25: L #13 UCLA 100-70 (11/15/12)
Matchup: Play-in games are always a little difficult to predict, especially considering both teams haven't really played anyone that good. Both have losses to AP Top 25 teams early in the year, which doesn't really say anything to me. What really stands out is that LIU Brooklyn is statistically one of the best offensive teams in the country. They rank 5th in points per game and 10th in field goal percentage.
How Far They Will Go: Although it's obvious and cliche', if you can score you win. LIU can score in a big way and that's why they win...but they don't stand a chance next round.
Game 2: Wednesday March 20th, 9:10pm, TRU TV
#13 La Salle #13 Boise State

VS.
La Salle Games Against AP T25: W #9 Butler 54-53 (1/23/13), W #19 VCU 69-61 (1/26/13), L #16 St. Louis 78-54 (3/9/13)
Boise St. Games Against AP T25: L #15 Michigan St. 74-70 (11/20/12), W #11 Creighton 83-70 (11/28/12), L x2 #19 New Mexico 79-74, 60-50 (1/16, 2/16/13)
Matchup: This is going to be a great matchup! Both teams are very deserving to move on, but I believe La Salle is the better team. This may go into overtime, so I hope you've got your popcorn ready.
How Far They Will Go: La Salle is a great team but Kansas St might be too much to overcome. Don't expect this team to just roll over though and die next round.
Tomorrow We Will Have---
Round 2 Action!!!!
