NCAA Basketball: NCAA Tournament-South Regional Practice

The sweet sixteen has arrived. For today's games, I'm giving you my picks only and then hopefully this weekend I'll get some good video footage and check ins from a surprise location. :)

UMICH vs. Oregon

Oregon +1.5

I'm wearing a Michigan hat right now and love their March march (not a typo, just a legit play on words) BUT I think Oregon is the better team. I have a bunch of old friends who are Michigan grads and I apologize to them for this pick, but like my man Dr. Seuss said, "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

Zags vs. WVU

WVU +3.   

WVU is in my final four. I think they are physical enough and talented enough to go toe to toe with Gonzaga. Throw in a press that is gonna be turnt up to the max to get after a one seed and I think this may just be the game we see a second number one go down.

Kansas vs. Purdue

Kansas -5 

I would probably lay off this one if I was a sharp bettor because I don't know what's gonna go down here, however I think Kansas is the hottest team in the tourney right now and they mauled their way through their last game so I would suppose the continue the trend. Josh Jackson is a beast of an athlete and has played lights out. He's light tho and Caleb Swanigan is not. If he gets going for Purdue who knows what happens here. Should be a fun game to watch.

Arizona vs. Xavier

Xavier +7.5

This one is a tough one too, as they all are. Xavier looked so good dismantling FSU and taking their heart and Zona can score in bunches. I think Zona wins this game but Xavier covers the hefty 7.5 spread.

Short but sweet little post here, more to come this weekend homies! Stay tuned and good luck! Let the second week of madness commence! 

Love, CJ
