NCAA Tourney: Mar 21 Upset Special: Michigan

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Saturday’s upset special is the Michigan Wolverines. Coach John Beilein has brought Big East style basketball to the Big Ten. With the 2-3 zone, the Michigan Wolverines will play Oklahoma tough. Yes… Blake Griffin will put up big numbers but can the Sooner guards hit the 15 foot jumpers?  The answer is NO WAY. Hence the Sooners will be the first #2 to exit the tournament. Go with Michigan with the double digit points. In addition, go with the money if available. The Wolverines will be heading back to the Sweet 16!

NCAA Tourney: Mar 21 PM Lock - Western Kentucky

YES!  I am sticking with the Hilltoppers again. Western Kentucky barely hung on to win on Thursday. WKU will continue their Cinderella run on Saturday. Fake John Anthony believes in WKU! Gonzaga is overrated. They were outplayed on Thursday. I believe Gonzaga should have lost on Thursday. WKU will make them pay.

NCAA Tourney: Mar 21 Mid-day Lock - Memphis Tigers

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Memphis survived a scare in Game 1. The Tigers are angry. They will take it out on the Terps on Saturday. Memphis is on a roll and Calapari’s kids got something to proof. Memphis will hamper Maryland. The Terps will be another ACC team to fall. Give the 10 points. Memphis will roll into the Sweet 16.

NCAA Tourney: Mar 21 AM Lock - Nova

UCLA has experience. Collison and Shipp can play… However, Scottie Reynolds and the Nova guards will be too much. Give the 3 points. Villanova plays in the Big East with tough competition and they’re playing at home on Saturday. Go with the tougher team. Villanova should cruise. This will end UCLA’s run at final 4’s. Nova will be the first seat to punch their ticket into the Sweet 16.
