Potential upsets in the first round?

I have a few upsets I would not be so surprised in seeing in the first round. Here are my main picks


Ohio over Michigan
D.J Cooper!, remember his great run in the 2010 tournament when Ohio upset number 3 seed Georgetown behind their then freshman point guard. He's a player that can score in spurts and he is also Ohio's best defender (avg almost 3 steals per game) This team is second in the nation in forcing turnovers and one of the best in offensive rebounding, Michigan si not very good on the defensive glass and that spells trouble.




St. Bonaventure over Florida State
I can see this happening, St. Bonaventure is playing at their programs peak right now. Their star senior power forward Andrew Nicholson stats this year are stellar (18 ppg 8 rpg 1.8 bpg) he is shooting over 55 percent form the field and over 30 percent form the 3 point line. Look for Andrew to have a solid outing vs the Seminoles and the rest of the bonnies to bring their A-10 championship momentum over to this game.



Davidson over Louisville.
Louisville is not a team that will out score you they have to gut out the game by playing hard nosed defense. Davidson has a very balanced attack with five people averaging double figures on their rosters. This could very well be a dog fight, Davidson has already been in competitive games with top seeds before, they beat number 1 seed Kansas on the road earlier this year.
