>>Maryland a sleeper? I don't think that a ranked team (a number 3 seed, BTW) qualifies. Penn State's a 7. I can see them getting by Georgetown, but not Stanford. Penn State should beat Temple, but I doubt if they can beat Michigan State for a second time.

>Yeah, that's what they're saying! Last I checked, sleepers were NOT #3 seeds, that came in third in their conference and were ranked all year... But Penn State qualifies! Generally, it's tough to beat a top-twenty team twice in a year, but it CAN happen. I'd like to see Penn State beat Michigan State.

I was just looking over the pool picks and it looks like tonight might be a night that either really helps me, or hurts me badly. It always hurts big time when a number two seed gets knocked out in the first round as Iowa State did. Everyone except me picked Maryland to reach the Elite Eight. I picked Iowa State. So I'm rooting for Georgetown big time.< g >
