[D3 for LU]

As much as I hate to see the IVY leave the EIWA's... I 'll still go w/ Myron Shapiro. He's exciting to watch in action.

Clearly it comes down to Kasak or Shapiro. Shapiro is really good, but less battle tested than Kasak due to a relatively lightweight schedule. Kasak gets my vote.

This is my upset of the tournament. I am going with Cannon. He had a good Big Ten Tournament. The match with Kasak was much closer than the score indicated. If he adjusts and is a little more tactful and patient, it should be a close match with Kasak. Kasak is the obvious favorite, but unexplained things happen at NCAA's.
