Your pick to win?
Your sleeper (team that will upset a few bigs)?
Your favorite teams:

I'll go first with some unconventional picks:

Win: Kansas
Sleeper: Harvard
Favorites: Iowa State, Wisconsin, Marquette

My sleeper pick is Missouri. However I also believe Kansas has just as much of a chance and is likely to make the final four!

Tough to call Missouri a sleeper.

They'll beat a bunch of teams. They'll surprise none of them

I agree with this. Having watched a Missouri beat up on the big12 this year (including Iowa State), I think they are going to be tough to play in this tourney.
