He did this with all 64 teams.... here's us and LBSU
TENNESSEE (5)
Best case: Bruce Pearl paints his face for the first round, wears an orange afro wig for the second and plays "Rocky Top" on a kazoo during a halftime CBS interview for the third. Chris Lofton hits nine 3s, young big men Wayne Chism and Duke Crews keep Greg Oden in check and the Vols score an 84-82 upset of Ohio State in the Sweet 16. Then they have the joy of watching Texas A&M take out Memphis the same night in San Antonio. Vol Nation momentarily stops fretting about Erik Ainge's torn meniscus.
Worst case: Pearl gets "T" for excessive sweating, and the Vols endure second straight March swoon. Their second successive one-and-out in the SEC tournament is followed by an upset at the hands of similarly up-tempo Long Beach State. Vol Nation goes back to obsessing over Ainge's knee.
LONG BEACH STATE (12)
Best case: The time is now for a team whose top seven scorers all are seniors, and the 49ers seize the day by upsetting wilting Tennessee. Blessed with an unexpected second-round game against fellow Cinderella Albany, Long Beach wins that one, too. With USC and UCLA also advancing, SoCal becomes the Mecca of college basketball.
Worst case: Style of play causes no culture shock for the Volunteers, who are happy to run with the 49ers. Team that beat nobody -- repeat, nobody -- ranked higher than 140th in the RPI gets blitzed out of Columbus by the Volunteers. SoCal fails to notice that Long Beach played in the Tournament.
