Why will your team win the NCAA tournament?

With the NCAA tournament set to tip-off on Thursday, we asked 12 Dynamo players whose alma maters are represented in the tournament, why or how their team can win it all. Not surprisingly, some players were more confident in their team than others. It's also not too late to change your bracket based on the commentary of our March Madness experts.

Corey Ashe
North Carolina
Because Carolina is the best...
Tyler Deric
North Carolina
We will win because we have the best looking cheerleaders.
Alex Dixon
North Carolina
UNC is going to win because they are getting hot at the right moment. Even though we lost in the ACC tournament final, we are heating up. PJ Hairston is hitting the threes. I think we are going to surprise some teams and make that run to the championship.
Brad Davis
St. Louis
Only way we can win it all is if we bring back Larry Hughes.
Brian Ching
Gonzaga
We have a great coach, a great system and a great fan base. It's a good school and I think we deserve one.
Calen Carr
California
We are going to have to lie, cheat, steal and rob our way past every game, but I think we can do it.
Kofi Sarkodie
Akron
Because it's Akron...
Eric Brunner
Ohio State
We have a quality team that is competing every year. We beat Indiana at Indiana, which shows we can play on the road. We have great players and we're Buckeyes.
Jason Johnson
VCU
Over the last three years, I don’t know if I was the good luck, but they have been having quite a good stretch. This year, I had a chance to go to a couple games before I left college. But absolutely, VCU is going all the way. ALL THE WAY! VCU!
Omar Cummings
Cincinnati
I think we're a good team. If we can go on a good run, we can surprise some people.
Will Bruin
Indiana
We're the best team in the NCAA tournament. We will win by playing good Indiana basketball on the defensive end.
Tally Hall
San Diego St.
We will win because no one expects us to.
