The NCAA Tournament resumes tonight and tomorrow with the Sweet 16, so here is my preview of the 8 games that are coming up the next 2 nights…
First up, tonight’s games…
East Region
#1 Indiana vs #4 Syracuse
If you saw my original bracket from last week, then you know that I didn’t think this matchup would happen, because I had Cuse going out in there first game against Montana…But I did feel that if the Cuse made there way to the Sweet 16, then Indiana would be in a world of trouble…And for most of this week, I actually had Cuse winning this game…But last night, I finally decided to pick the Hoosiers in this game because I feel there slightly – And I mean slightly – better than the Cuse, and I picked Indiana to win this region…And I also think a Big 10 team will make the Final Four, and the Hoosiers are the best bet…
Final Score: Indiana 77 Syracuse 68
#3 Marquette vs #2 Miami
Of the 8 Sweet 16 games, this was the hardest one to pick. In fact, I couldn’t pick a winner, so I went to CoinFlip.com, and flipped a virtual coin 7 times, with heads winning 4-3 over tails…And since I had Marquette as heads, that would mean I would have them winning this game…But I’m picking Miami. I don’t have a reason, but I just like the Hurricanes for some reason…
Final Score: Miami 66 Marquette 65
West Region
#9 Wichita State vs #13 La Salle
I’m picking La Salle because I’m rooting for Wichita State to lose. Wichita State fucked up my bracket, because they took out my National Champion – And the team besides KU that I was rooting for the most in this Tournament – in Gonzaga…And also, There is no way in hell that Wichita State will make 14 3 pointers in this game, and I also like La Salle’s guards better than I like Wichita State’s guards…
Final Score: La Salle 69 Wichita State 62
#6 Arizona vs #2 Ohio State
This to me is the West Regional Final. The winner of this game is going to the Final Four. Arizona has more talent, and I just like there mojo a little bit more than Ohio State. If Arizona plays to there potential, then they will win this game…
Final Score: Arizona 73 Ohio State 68
Midwest Region
#1 Louisville vs #12 Oregon
Final Score: Louisville 78 Oregon 59
#3 Michigan State vs #2 Duke
Final Score: Duke 70 Michigan State 67
South Region
#1 Kansas vs #4 Michigan
Final Score: Kansas 71 Michigan 64
#3 Florida vs #15 Florida Gulf Coast
Final Score: Florida 82 Florida Gulf Coast 65
