For the opening round beginning on Thursday, what are some of your predictions for possible upsets. The ones I'll be looking at include:

Purde (9) over Arizona (8.)
Old Dominion (12) over Butler (5)
Winthrop (11) over Notre Dame (6)
Georgia Tech (10) over UNLV (7)
Gonzaga (10) over Indiana (7)
Villanova (9) over Kentucky (8.)
Arkansas (12) over USC (5)
Xavier (9) over BYU (8.)
Creighton (10) over Nevada (7)

I'm not expecting any major upsets (ie. 13s and up winning) but I am expecting some of the above to happen.

By the way, Empire, hope you're wrong about the Irish. I've got them going a ways in my bracket.

Old Dominion, Wright State, Albany...I can't give you logical reasons for these except to say that upsets always happen. (And I went to Albany )...
