NATIONAL-LOUIS UNIVERSITY
Seed: 6
Overview: NLU is the oldest university in Chicago. Its most famous alumnus appears to be Richard Hatch of Survivor fame. Apparently at one point the school was called The National Kindergarten College...how awesome is that?
Pros: Small class size.
Cons: I don't have any money.
Outlook: National-Louis University is this year's host school and as such ought to have a favorable crowd. But Gonzaga's always a tough out come March, so we'll see.
GONZAGA
Seed: 11
Overview: Gonzaga is a Jesuit university in Spokane, Washington. The school rose to athletic fame in the late '90s when the basketball team started beating higher seeded schools in tournament games. Then they started to actually be a good team...and began losing to lower seeded teams.
Pros: Bing Crosby and John Stockton. Ranked 25th most fit school in the United States by Men's Fitness Magazine.
Cons: People are getting kind of tired of them.
Outlook: Y'know...all this research kind of makes me wish I went to school there. Seems like a nice place. ANYWAY...the Zags are an underdog which usually works in their favor. I expect a low scoring affair with a high rate of voter apathy.
