there will be alottt of upsets, including hartford beating rice.. but a game im looking forward to as an outsider is bratt vs mau, both teams are capable of beating anybody.. either heydinger or olson for bratt is capable of shutting mau down, and kunzman already shut bratt down once, but i dont think he will shut them down again if he pitches. itll be interesting to see that match-up, i will be at that game, im not from either bratt or mau, so im not rooting for anybody, but dont be surprised if bratt comes outta there with a win. good luck to all the teams
