Shockers could win their first two. If they get it done.....who knows where they might get? Creighton can win the first one, probably that's it.

Maybe Uconn beats Kentucky and paves the way for WSU? I wouldn't eliminate the possibility of CU beating UNC if they get the chance too.

Good luck MVC!

I don't think the brackets are favorable for either WSU or Creighton to advance past the sweet 16...not that that means anything.

If Creighton somehow beat Alabama and miraculously beat UNC, Michigan or Temple wouldn't scare me that much.

WSU can beat Kentucky if they play a great game. VCU is first and worries the heck out of me.

Top 100 NBA prospects - in the entire world:

http://www.draftexpress.com/rankings/Top-100-Prospects/
1 Anthony Davis PF
19 years old, Freshman
6' 10" 220lbs.
Kentucky

2 Michael Kidd-Gilchrist SF
18 years old, Freshman
6' 7" 228lbs.
Kentucky

11 Terrence Jones SF/PF
20 years old, Sophomore
6' 9" 249lbs.
Kentucky

35 Doron Lamb SG
20 years old, Sophomore
6' 4" 170lbs.
Kentucky

38 Marquis Teague PG
19 years old, Freshman
6' 2" 179lbs.
Kentucky

88 Darius Miller SF
21 years old, Senior
6' 7" 230lbs.
Kentucky

100 Garrett Stutz C
22 years old, Senior
7' 0" 255lbs.
Wichita State

Oh, yeah, WSU's experience is going to offset an entire starting lineup of NBA guys. WSU has no hope of getting past the S16 in the bracket they're in. Maybe Kentucky will overlook WSU and pull a "KU", but I'm not holding my breath.

There is about a one in four chance of either CU or WSU reaching the regional final (Elite 8) -- 17% for Wichita and 11% for Creighton.
