Okay, so it's that time again this year. Last year I didn't do too bad with my brackets, I would have done better if Memphis had won the Championship game but it was still respectable. Anyways without further ado, here are my round 1 picks

Midwest Region

(1) Louisville VS (16) Doesn't Matter --------------Louisville
(8) OSU Suckeyes VS (9) Siena ----------------------Siena
