Jeremy Conn: West Bracket

Possible upsets to watch in first round - I love Long Beach St against New Mexico. Saint Louis and Memphis are both under seeded and St Louis can win this game. I also like Virginia to upset Florida.

Sweet 16 teams in my bracket - I have Michigan St taking on Long Beach St( That's right, I went out on a limb).  Marquette playing Missouri and in my mind that will be one of the best games of the tournament.
Players to watch - Draymond Green of Michigan St, Marcus Denmon and Kim English of Missouri, Darius Johnson-Odom and Jae Crowder of Marquette.  Lesser known players that can take over a game... Casper Ware of Long Beach St, Mike Scott of Virginia, and Will Barton of Memphis.
My Final Four team - I took Marquette over Michigan St . Both teams have great coaching, big time players, and they are both battle tested.  I'm just playing a hunch here and taking Marquette.  I love the way this team plays basketball and there is always one team we don't expect that gets there.
