Question by cougarman4907: Who are the teams to watch for in the 2008 NCAA Basketball Tourney?
I have noticed a couple teams as of lately that have really sparked interest in me. Of course, everyone knows in this area the usual Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Texas, etc.
My question is more by the side of the lines of which teams might make a cinderella run (George Mason-2006).
If it were up to me, I would have to go with Western Kentucky. They have Courtney Lee, an all american, and considered to be drafted in the 1st round of the NBA draft.
Who would you place down as your cinderella team?

Answer by zztopspin
Teams that are not going to be in top 25 by the end of the year that may possibly make a run in the tournament are in my opinion:
Western Kentucky
Oral Roberts
Davidson
Bradley
Wofford (if they may possibly survive conference tourney)
Arkansas (if Beverley gets hot)
Providence (if Efejouku gets hot)
Oklahoma (if they play incredible)

I reckon you need to look at the A-10 this year for sleepers.
Obviously Xavier isn’t much of a sleeper anymore taking into account everyone know’s they are fantastic. But UMass and URI have some pretty damn excellent wins to their credits, both at Syracuse, UMass at BC, and URI crushed providence.
Here are my picks:
Rhode Island
Dayton (have been ranked once this year already)
Houston
Sam Houston St.
Oral Roberts
Baylor
