couple games that I think will end in upsets. Number 1, I think, is Alabama. Alabama versus Hofstra. Anytime you have distractions going on during the tournament, it's a tough time. Aiden Holloway, who I think is a very, very, very good young player, also a good young man who I actually happen to know, has trained with me, everything, he's out. And he's our second leading scorer. As I've always said, one of the most important things in NCAA tournament play is guard play. I see them being upset by Hofstra. I'm also not a huge believer in Tennessee. Tennessee takes on Miami of Ohio. Miami of Ohio is feeling good. Miami of Ohio have had the chip on their shoulder and is ready to prove themselves. I got them upsetting Tennessee. Another upset I think will happen, Kentucky versus Santa Clara. 17, so not a huge upset yet. It is Kentucky. I think it's a very big upset. Kentucky, I think, will go down to Santa Clara. I don't have many, but I do have the upsets happening on Friday. So we'll see.
