Davidson pulls off another upset

Davidson makes a major statement over Wisconsin.

And then there were four…..

(2)Texas (31-6, 13-3 Big 12)

(1)Memphis (36-1, 16-0 C-USA)

Memphis is the most overrated 1 seed in this tournament. They will lose to Texas because UT is the better team and is playing a home game in San Antonio.

  

(10)Davidson (29-6, 20-0 Southern)

(1)Kansas (34-3, 13-3 Big 12)  

My genius pick was Georgetown from this region, but it was Davidson who made me look foolish. Davidson also made Wisconsin look foolish and today they will deliver another great upset.

Upset Friday?

 

(10)Davidson (28-6, 20-0 Southern)

(3)Wisconsin (31-4, 16-2 Big Ten)

I’m rooting for this Davidson squad hard! Stephen Curry must have a big game for the Wildcats to have a shot. The Wildcats will continue their great run with another upset, this time over a tough Badgers squad.

  

(3)Stanford (28-7, 13-5 Pac-10)

(2)Texas (30-6, 13-3 Big 12)

Stanford is another overrated team. They got by an overmatched Marquette squad, but won’t get by the Longhorns.

  

(12)Villanova (22-12, 9-9 Big East)

(1)Kansas (33-3, 13-3 Big 12)

Kansas avoids an upset…for now.

  

(5)Michigan State (27-8, 12-6 Big Ten)

(1)Memphis (35-1, 16-0 C-USA)

Memphis is the weakest  1 seed, but Michigan St still does not impress me. I thought they would lose to Pitt, but Pitt once again showed their March collapse. I like Memphis to win by less than 7.

Terrific Thursday

 

The road to the Elite Eight begins tonight with four thrilling games.  

 

(7)West Virginia (26-10, 11-7 Big East)

(3)Xavier (29-6, 14-2 A 10)

Huggins has done a great job with WVU this year; however their road ends tonight with Xavier.

  

(4)Washington State (26-8, 11-7 Pac-10)

(1)North Carolina (34-2, 14-2 ACC)

UNC has been pretty unstoppable the last month, but will face a stiff test tonight. If Wazzu plays great defense this game could come down to the wire. However, I like the Heels.

  

(12)W Kentucky (29-6, 16-2 S. Belt)

(1)UCLA (33-3, 16-2 Pac-10)

UCLA is my national champ, but I doubt that pick every day. However, their tournament run will not end tonight.

   

(3)Louisville (26-8, 14-4 Big East)

(2)Tennessee (31-4, 14-2 SEC)

Tennessee is overrated, plain and simple. I like Louisville behind the great play of David Padgett.

Easter Sunday

 

Whats better than Easter Sunday and college basketball?! Happy Easter and here are the game ananysis.

(13)Siena (23-10, 13-5 MAAC)

(12)Villanova (21-12, 9-9 Big East)

I like the Saints to win in this one because their guards will outplay Novas.

  

(7)Miami (FL) (23-10, 8-8 ACC)

(2)Texas (29-6, 13-3 Big 12)

Texas won’t have much trouble with a decent Miami squad.

  

(7)Butler (30-3, 16-2 HOR)

(2)Tennessee (30-4, 14-2 SEC)

I had picked South Alabama to beat Tennessee in Round 2, but it will be Butler who ends the Vols run.

  

(13)San Diego (22-13, 11-3 WCC)

(12)W Kentucky (28-6, 16-2 S. Belt)

How can either team top what they did on Friday? Well, a berth in the Sweet 16 would certainly do it. I like the Hilltoppers.

  

(10)Davidson (27-6, 20-0 Southern)

(2)Georgetown (28-5, 15-3 Big East)

Davidson is very good, but probably can’t shut down Roy Hibbert. I like the Hoyas in the final minute.

  

(8)Mississippi State (23-10, 12-4 SEC)

(1)Memphis (34-1, 16-0 C-USA)

UCLA survived a test, so now it’s the Tigers turn to prove their worth. MSU could challenge Memphis, but ultimately it will be Memphis winning.

  

(6)Oklahoma (23-11, 9-7 Big 12)

(3)Louisville (25-8, 14-4 Big East)

Louisville by double digits.

  

(9)Arkansas (23-11, 9-7 SEC)

(1)North Carolina (33-2, 14-2 ACC)

If Arkansas can hit their 3’s then they have a chance, but they are very inconsistent from behind the arc. UNC heads to the Sweet 16.
