Most Intriguing Games

Good afternoon, everyone. I had an early flight today to Kansas City. And I have been interviewing players, mostly Memphis players, the past few hours. I wanted to rank the games tomorrow in order of most intriguing. Tell me if you disagree.

1) UCLA-VCU
Maynor takes aim at another storied program

3) Villanova-American
Jones’s veteran team has confidence from last season
4) LSU-Butler
Butler got raw deal with seed
5) California-Maryland
Two distinguished coaches, teams exceeded expectations
6) Clemson-Michigan
Clemson had better fix its issues

Boilermakers poised for deep run

9) BYU-Texas A&M
Strength of the MWC on display
10) North Carolina-Radford
How will Tar Heels play without Lawson?
