CHAMPION PICKS

No. 1 seed Butler and No. 2 seed Green Bay have byes into the semifinals, which are Saturday. Tonight's winners will play each other in quarterfinal games on Friday.

Dan, Nino, Rob, Chris, Ed, Mark, Jim, Jon and Greg have all picked Butler to win this tournament. Yohan and Steve have picked Green Bay. Sal has picked Cleveland State -- a team that won this blog's hearts with an early-season buzzer-beater win over Syracuse. Seriously. I almost picked them just for that reason.
