1. Look out below. Chattanooga doesn't have a single starter taller than 6 feet 8 and now must face 7-3 Hasheem Thabeet in the first round. Who wants to place an over-under on the number of blocks by Thabeet? If Connecticut and Mississippi State both win their first two games, it would set up an intriguing Sweet 16 matchup between the nation's top two shot blockers: Thabeet and Mississippi State's Jarvis Varnado.</p>
2. Brockman vs. Varnado. Before he gets a shot at Thabeet, Varnado will have his hands full in the opening round against Washington's Jon Brockman. Varnado leads the nation in blocks and swatted away 22 shots in four SEC tournament games. He should face a tougher challenge against Brockman, who averages 14.9 points and 11.2 rebounds.</p>
