                     1999 HWCI NCAA TOURNAMENT POOL
                     ==============================

            AUBURN, U-CONN, DUKE, AND MICH-ST GET #1 SEEDS
                   But are these the teams to beat?

     LA MIRADA, CA (smt)-  We now know the 64 teams that will somehow,
in some weird combination, make me $10 poorer.  But that means
someone else will be $10 richer.  The 5th Annual HWCI NCAA Tournament
Pool officially begins today as people will scramble to make and get
their 63 picks in by 9 a.m. PST Thursday, March 11.

     Last year, just one person out of 28 people picked Utah 
(runner-up) to go as far the Final Four and she won first place.  
This year, Duke seems like the safe choice, but will another
team come in and surprise us?  Can you trust #1 seeds Auburn and
Michigan St. to go very far?  Will anyone pick teams with names
like Winthrop, Samford, Sienna, or Gonzaga?  Only time will tell.

     Some quick info:
