Who ya guys got?
Louisville over Oregon - Oregon has been a nice story, but this is where it ends. Louisville is on a mission and has been playing better ball than anyone as of late.
Michigan State over Duke - This is going to be a fun matchup to watch. 2 powerhouse tournament programs, with arguably the 2 best coaches in the nation. MSU is starting to show that gritty fire we see from typical Spartan Final Four teams, so I think they win a very close game.
Wichita State over LaSalle - I know nothing of either team, but I've seen Wichita playing some seriously great ball while LaSalle has squeaked by in both wins. WSU takes it, and I think by 10+.
Ohio State over Arizona - This game gives me heartburn. It's going to Arizona's bigs vs. OSU's wings. I think in the end, the OSU defense clamps down and, along with some incredible play from Craft and LQ Ross, the Buckeyes get it done in a great game.
Kansas over Michigan - This is a tough one. If you go by tournament performance, Michigan should take it. However, I think Kansas presents a far bigger matchup problem than VCU. Withey comes up huge and Kansas wins close.
Florida over FGCU - Florida traditionally is the Cinderella-killer. FGCU has been a great story to follow, making history on the way to the Sweet 16. However, Florida is too athletic and plays too good of defense. Florida wins by 10+.
Indiana over Syracuse - This one comes down to the play of Zeller, more than any other game. Syracuse's wings have great length and present matchup problems, but I don't think Cuse will be able to stop Zeller down low, and Oladipo causes too much havoc as Indiana wakes up from a near loss to Temple and takes care of a Cuse team that has only played so-so basketball over the last month.
Miami over Marquette - With Reggie Johnson this would be a blowout. Without him, it still might be a blowout. Thankfully, Marquette doesn't play big ball (their leading rebounder this year averaged 4.9/game). Kadji has a great game, posting a double double, and the Miami guards lead the Canes to a double digit victory over a Marquette team that has been playing way too fast and loose this tournament.
