Sweet 16 …Here we go!!!
The 2011 edition of the Men’s NCAA basketball tourney is here. Well I did not get my six correct last Sunday but went 5-3 on the day. One of my Final Four picks…Notre Dame fell by the wayside thanks to Florida State so I’m down to North Carolina, Wisconsin and San Diego State with my title game picks of Wisconsin and UNC still alive.
Here we go for Thursday’s games.
WEST REGION:
Connecticut (3) vs. San Diego State (2)
UConn has had a good run thus far but San Diego State also has a chip on their shoulders and is out to prove they are an elite outfit. Look for the Aztecs to stifle Kemba Walker and pull out a 3 point win.
Arizona (5) vs. Duke (1)
My “Duke Beaters”…the Texas Longhorns were upset by ‘Zona so I will go with ACC loyalty for this game at least and put “the curse” on Duke by picking them to win by 7.
SOUTHEAST REGION:
Brigham Young (3) vs. Florida (2)
BYU have been the “darlings” of the tourney so far but the Gators are out to avenge last years early round loss to the Cougars…..could come down to a Jimmer miss. Florida by 2.
Butler (8) vs. Wisconsin (4)
Butler is as dangerous as ever but the Badgers are looking solid so I am sticking by them. Wisconsin by 8.
Current Record: 35-17
