</ul>
The Butler Bulldogs and Utah Utes tip off the inaugural College Basketball Crown tournament in Las Vegas. The Bulldogs are installed as short favorites, but their defense remains a staggering liability. Utah needs to be at its best defensively, but we expect it to pull off the modest upset.

</ul>
The George Washington Revolutionaries put together an outstanding 21-10 record in the A10 this season, but they're still well short of competing against the Boise State Broncos. Boise State has a substantive advantage on both ends of the court, and the Broncos should be able to coast to a first-round victory.

</ul>
The Arizona State Sun Devils sputtered down the stretch, winning just one of their last nine games. Unfortunately, their outlook doesn't improve in the CBC tourney. The Nebraska Cornhuskers play a rugged defensive brand of basketball that will only exacerbate the Sun Devils' woes.

</ul>
The Georgetown Hoyas versus Washington State Cougars tilt will be one of the most exciting contests of the opening round. Georgetown's offense struggled down the stretch, but they should be able to get back on track versus a lackluster Cougars' defense. Washington State is more than capable of upsetting the Hoyas in this one.

</ul>
The Cincinnati Bearcats played their way out of an NCAA Tournament berth, but they still have impressive defensive acumen. The DePaul Blue Demons were an afterthought in the Big East, and we don't expect them to reverse course against the Bearcats.

</ul>
The Oregon State Beavers will be more than happy to trade buckets with the UCF Knights on Tuesday. Both teams play efficiently on offense, albeit the Knights with much more pace. Oregon State makes the most of its offensive possessions, enough to advance past the Knights.

	<li>Moneyline: Villanova -154 | Colorado +128</li>
</ul>
The Villanova Wildcats were another fringe NCAA Tournament team that fell out of favor down the stretch. We expect them to easily advance past a Colorado Buffaloes team that refuses to play offense.

</ul>
The gap between the USC Trojans and Tulane Green Wave is much greater than the betting line implies. Tulane struggled to keep pace in the AAC while the Trojans put up some crooked numbers in the Big Ten. USC cruises to Round 2.

The first quarterfinal matchup could potentially showcase the Broncos taking on the Utes. Boise State wields an advantage in both halves of the court. Not only will they open as favorites, but the Broncos should easily cash.

Nebraska and Washington State play two very different styles of basketball. The Cougars force the issue on offense, whereas the Cornhuskers value defense. Still, Nebraska's offense will have no problems setting the bar, and Washington State won't be able to break through the Huskers' defense.

Cincinnati will need to be at its best defensively to contain Oregon State's offense. However, we've seen the Bearcats stack up well against superior opponents. They should have no problem punching their ticket to the semis.

Villanova versus USC in Quarterfinal #4 would be a showstopping affair. Both teams abandon their defensive responsibilities, turning this into a track meet. Still, we give the Wildcats an edge in this one.

If things go as planned, the Boise State Broncos could meet the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the first semifinal matchup. While the Cornhuskers would be able to contain the Broncos, they won't be able to shut them down completely. Moreover, Nebraska can't keep pace offensively. Boise State becomes the first CBC finalist in tournament history.

Villanova and Cincinnati is the poetic semifinal of what could have been. The one-time Big East rivals had their March Madness dreams squashed over the season's final games, and only one could advance to the College Basketball Crown. Villanova should cruise.

The Boise State Broncos and Villanova Wildcats should be the last teams standing. The Wildcats' longstanding defensive issues will again come back to haunt them. The Broncos prevail in a high-scoring affair, earning the inaugural College Basketball Crown title.
