March Madness 2010 Bracket

Just filled out an NCAA March Madness bracket for the first time in several years, so I thought I'd share my picks.  I might note, however, that I know precisely squat about college basketball, so I'm just kinda going with my gut feelings.  Yes, I'm picking Clemson to win the championship; that's who I'm rooting for, since that's most likely where I'm going for grad school next year (are you reading this, WSU?  Where's my teaching assistantship already?), and it doesn't really make sense to bet on one team and root for another. 

So without further ado, here goes:

First Round: 

Kansas over Lehigh  
UNLV over Northern Iowa
Michigan State over New Mexico State  
Maryland over Houston
Tennessee over San Diego State
