Sweet 16 part deux
The Sweet 16 Round of the NCAA Men’s basketball tournament concludes on Friday with games in San Antonio, Texas and Newark, New Jersey. My Thursday picks fell by the wayside with only Florida advancing. Similarly my Final Four picks are gone with the exception of North Carolina. For Thursday’s games I went 1-3 pick wise.
Fridays picks…
SOUTHWEST REGION:
Richmond (12) vs. Kansas (1)
The city of Richmond will have a strong fan base in San Antonio with the hometown Spiders and VCU both playing there. First up, Richmond clashes with Kansas. This one could catch Kansas looking ahead but the Jayhawks will hold on and pull away late by 11.
Virginia Commonwealth (11) vs. Florida State (10)
VCU may be able to hang on against the tough Seminole “D”. Rams by 5.
EAST REGION:
North Carolina (2) vs. Marquette (11)
Former title game opponents square off in regional semis in this one. Carolina has had some close calls but this one may be easier. UNC by 12.
Kentucky (4) vs. Ohio State (1)
Kentucky has a solid run going but Ohio State is out to live up to the hype. Hmm….I’ll call and upset …Kentucky by 3.
Ok, back in a day or so with Regional final picks….
Current Record: 36 right – 20 wrong…
