Northeastern was at the tournament last season, with virtually the same exact team. They are ready for this.

And I am not guaranteeing a NE victory. I jsut think if you don't watch a team regularly play, you don't know what they are bringing to the table, so don't count them out.

Correct, and I meant Lower seeded than SSU is now, if that makes sense. Not lower seeded then them.

From what I've HEARD about BYU, and no, I have not seen them play, but I hear that they don't come to play all the time. If that is the case, then LU looks pretty good as an UPSET pick.

Congrats to NU making their 2nd straight tourney. I love seeing new teams in the mix. But 1 year of experience doesn't make you a veteran. I can't remember the last time Noma wasn't in the tourney. They will be ready for what ever NU throws at them. Especially since they just played UCSD who is a team built around one incredible offensive player. And even though I haven't seen this standout from NU play, I would bet the farm that he's no Nick Dean.[/quote]

keep in mind...one player cant win a championship by himself...it does take a team....

Not picking at Dean, just a very valid point...

in 2003 Simon Fraser was ranked 12th when they upset the number 5 ranked Colorado in the first round

I'm thinking the following:

Oregon over Arizona (Oregon can do it if they get up early. AZ has a problem coming back on good teams when they are down)

Cal Poly over FSU (FSU has yet to prove that they can handle a top tier team. I think that Poly can take this one)

Colorado to win it all!!!
