2. If Kansas State were playing better, this would be an interesting draw for the Wildcats. But it's hard to have faith in them right now. They could just as easily fall flat in the first round to Utah State or advance to the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight.

3. Speaking of Utah State, I think this is finally the year the Aggies win a game or two. They drew a team in Kansas State that is in flux, they have veteran players, and they have been playing on edge for weeks to assure themselves of a bid. The Aggies also have the advantage of playing close to home in Tucson, Ariz.

Yeah, seeing by car being 852 miles from Logan vs. 1150 from Manhattan. And let's face it, it's cost-prohibitive to fly a family of 12 even if they could find an airport somewhere.

Three second-round games to watch

1. Butler-Old Dominion in the 8-9 game pits two teams with experience winning in the NCAA tournament against each other. ODU knocked off Notre Dame last season while Butler reached the title game. Each has some new pieces, but either team has a real shot at giving Pitt trouble in the third round.

2. UCLA-Michigan State is too sexy of a matchup not to highlight. Both teams have had their struggles, but it will be difficult to match that kind of brand recognition so early in the NCAA tournament.

3. Kansas State-Utah State is the ultimate 5-12 upset pick. Utah State has an opportunity to finally make a name for itself and maybe get coach Stew Morrill some national love by winning a game against an elite team.

We've made it.
