2017 March Madness: #5 Iowa State vs #12 Nevada

We are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

Iowa State hung with some of the best teams in the country in the Big 12. They didn’t exactly stand out since Kansas and Baylor got all the press. The Cyclones will be a tough out in this tourney.

As a #12 seed, Nevada is automatically a popular upset pick. #5 seeds have fallen to a #12 seeds in bunches over the years. I’m not sure Nevada is in the same league as Iowa State, but anything is possible.

2017 March Madness: #6 Maryland vs #11 Xavier

We are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

Maryland is a star-driven team with Melo Trimble getting all the spotlight. They aren’t a very deep team, but you can’t argue with their record. They are a team you can’t take lightly.

Xavier looked like a possible top-four seed team until their start guard tore his ACL. The team is still stacked and the question is, which player will step up for them?

We are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

We are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

St. Mary’s may have been in the #1 seed discussion if they didn’t share the West Coast conference with Gonzaga. They dominated the rest of the conference, but just fell flat on their face when they faced the Zags.

We are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

2017 March Madness: #8 Northwestern vs #9 Vanderbilt

We are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

Northwestern was an answer to a trivia question for a long time. Well, they are no longer applicable since they will finally make their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. It was the goal when they hired head coach Chris Collins in 2013.

There hasn’t been much buzz around Vanderbilt since everyone is talking about Northwestern’s first tourney bid. The Commodores have enough shooters on the team to make a run.

Can Vanderbilt upset Northwestern in Salt Lake City?
