4 UPSET SPECIALS

# Hartford over Temple — The Hawks were in this last season before Rutgers took them out, but lost only one game in the America East Conference. They're improved over a year ago, and while Temple has been ranked most of the year and is playing closer to home, this is an early round upset waiting to happen.

# Tulsa over N.C. State — N.C. State comes out of the powerful ACC, but are very overrated as a No. 5 seed. They played .500 in the ACC but are up against a Tulsa team that finished 25-5 in Conference USA and is in a perfect position for a shocker.

# New Mexico over Florida — Lobos were ranked 21st last week even though they finished third in the Mountain West behind BYU and Utah. Although No. 5 seed Florida comes from a tougher conference, the Lobos are good enough to catch them off guard early.

# New Mexico over Florida State — The Seminoles, a No. 6 seed, finished fourth in the tough ACC behind only Carolina, Duke and Maryland, but in New Mexico they're facing an 11 seed that played in a very underrated Mountain West Conference.
