THURSDAY

Southern Illinois vs. Kansas, 7:10/4:10 PM. Not too sure about this one, considering that Kansas hasn't been challenged so far this tournament. The Salukis looked good against Va. Tech, but I thought that a lot of teams would look good against the Hokies, so it's sorta misleading. I GUESS I'll pick the Jayhawks by eh, 10.

Texas A&M vs. Memphis, 7:27/4:27 PM. No Chris Douglas-Roberts makes this pick really, really easy. And even if CDR does play, he won't be the same player that he was before he got hurt. Aggies, easy.

Pittsburgh vs. UCLA, 9:40/6:40 PM. FUCLA finds ways to win games. They could blow dick all game, and they'd still win. Based on that, I'll pick them in a close, boring game. UCLA 40, PITT 35. And I get to watch all of it. yay.

Tennessee vs. Ohio State, 9:57/6:47 PM. Ugh. Two teams I totally dislike and don't want to talk about, and I still have to pick one. Ohio State.

FRIDAY

Butler vs. Florida, 7:10/4:10 PM. I think Billy Donovan's going to have the right gameplan for this game. If the Gators come out bombing 3-pointers, they're going to be in for a close one. If they get the ball on the blocks to Horford, Noah and sometimes Richard, Butler's going to have no chance. I don't think Butler's going to win anyway, and I think that Florida will keep the game in the post. Florida by 20.

Vanderbilt vs. Georgetown, 7:27/4:27 PM. I had Georgetown winning it all, but I've gotta say, this looks like a good upset pick. The Hoyas have struggled all tournament, but they haven't played a team with enough athleticism to take advantage of it. I think that Vanderbilt's got that athleticism. So, Vanderbilt in OT.

UNLV vs. Oregon, 9:40/6:40 PM. I like UNLV a lot. Oregon can beat them, but for some reason I feel that UNLV's gonna pull it out. They're nearly identical teams. So, UNLV by 6.

USC vs. North Carolina, 9:57/6:47 PM. We will win. That's it.
