156, if you want six, I'd go with...
Siena over Purdue
UTEP over Butler
Murray St. over Vandy
Missouri over Clemson
Minnesota over Xavier
San Diego State over Tennessee
In that order.
Cornell is simple. If they are hitting from downtown, they will win. If not, they could lose by 25. Missouri will give Clemson 40 minutes of hell on defense they can't handle. Tennesse will go in with a negative mindset for not only being horribly underseeded, but being put in the group of death, along with playing San Diego St., who is also underseeded and red hot. Minnesota Xavier just banks on which Minnesota team shows up. The one who beat Purdue by 27, or the one who lost to Ohio St. by 29. Murray St. is a damn good team, and I think Vandy is way overrated. UTEP will outplay Butler inside, and Purdue might as well be a 16 seed without Hummel. Too bad for them, because they could have been good. Siena is a damn good team int heir third straight tourney with a great coach. Hope this helps.
But Clemson also plays full court press defense. Missouri won't be able to handle us. Basically two teams that are clones of each other. Will be a very good game.
I don't think Duke makes the final four, Baylor and Villanova are too strong for them.

I don't really followed college basketball much, but I do watch some of the tournament every year. I'm doing the bracket for fun. Hopefully for all of you, I won't win again this year.
Jess, have a look at the 2:45 mark. Obama defiles the Cuse name!
I'm doing my "real" bracket in Yahoo, but I decided to register Obama's exact bracket in this ESPN group just for the hell of it. It should be interesting.
Too bad Robert Morris couldn't become the 5th #15 seed to beat a 2.
