Looking at the Dirty South...

South Regional Picks

Who will win: Ohio State will cruise to the regional final but get run into oblivion by a more athletic, deeper Memphis team that can put Joey Dorsey on Greg Oden. Dorsey's no Oden, but he's no slouch. And OSU can't stop Memphis from running.

Dark-horse pick: Nevada has some really nice pieces this season, much more than a year ago when it was Nick Fazekas or bust. Fazekas is still around and still a superstar, but Ramon Sessions and Marcelus Kemp are ferocious as well.

Most likely upset: No. 11-seeded Stanford over sixth-seeded Louisville, and that's no upset. Louisville has all kinds of talent, but they're a bunch of headcases, and the mentally tough Cardinal will give them a lobotomy.
