May I Have The First Dance?

The day has finally arrived. Butler and LSU kick off the 2009 NCAA Tournament today at 12:20 ET. There are sixteen games today...here is a look at some of the more anticipated matchups:

VCU vs UCLA (VCU is a popular pick to score an upset as an 11 seed)

Texas A&M vs BYU (a rematch of a first round game last year won by TAMU)

Western Kentucky vs Illinois (many favor the 13th seeded Hilltoppers)

Maryland vs California (Cal is favored, but Maryland can beat anybody)

Michigan vs Clemson (a total tossup)

Akron vs Gonzaga (the Zips vs the Zags...that's too perfect)

Miss St vs Washington (can athletic Miss St continue it's upset streak)

Minnesota vs Texas (can Tubby's squad knock off underachieving UT?)
