The most intriguing game could be the Marquette-Kentucky game. Both teams are talented but seem to struggle at times on the offensive end for periods of time. I think Tom Crean's Marquette squad will turn up the defense a notch and walk out with a win.
I think Pitt may get an early challenge from an athletic Oral Roberts team, but will pull away in the second half. Teams like Pitt that come into the tourney riding huge waves are often ripe for an upset. Remember when Syracuse ran through the Big East tourney and then came out and laid an egg against Vermont....???
Well, Pitt finds themselves in an almost identical situation, it will be interesting to see how they handle it.
Those of you looking for an upset....I think Baylor has the best chance to pull one.
Another thing to watch......with some of these games being played in Denver it will be interesting to watch to see if the altitude effects any of these teams, especially in the 2nd half of these games. Just a little something to keep an eye on.
