First & Second Round Revealed

It's time. It's finally here. The first round of the '09 NCAA Tournament. Unfortunately, I'm at campus waiting for class to start. So, yet again, I find myself at the L.R.C., on the computer, on Blogger...well, blogging away for today's entry, which happens to be this one you are reading. Anyways, I hope to catch the rest of today's ball games...especially the ones I mentioned on yesterdays post. Speaking of which, there's other games that I'm hoping to catch and be on the look out for--no, it isn't because I'm not sure about my predications made on my own bracket standings--it's just because I think it will be a real close, interesting game. That's my reason. So here are the others I'm hopin' to catch:

(2) Memphis v. (15) Cal St. North.
(6) Marquette v. (11) Utah St.
(1) Connecticut v. (16) Chattanooga (Fallon is on this one. But I don't know...)
(8) LSU v. (9) Butler

Okay, so here it is. I probably won't be safe with this one...But hey, at least give me credit for trying! Here's my picks for the first round going off to the second:
