well, so far i've bucked my personal trend, and i'm keeping my head above water in the second weekend of the tournament. barely, but i ain't drowning, dammit. 
only playing 50% of the games today...
ucla (+2) 2 units. absolutely love the bruins here. same reasoning as why i loved the salukis on thursday. if you want to beat this jayhawk team, get 'em in a halfcourt game. it's pretty damn near that simple. the salukis should have won that game. never mind the missed putback late in the game. how 'bout when the refs allowed the dunk in the first half that was after the shot clock expired? and when they gave ku possession on the shot clock violation when the ball hit the rim (and southern ill got the rebound)? anyways, before i get too far off topic... ucla plays some pretty damn good defense themselves. they will slow the pace and wear out the jayhawks mentally, as much as physically. plus the bruins have one thing the salukis didn't have... aaron afflalo. even in a shooting slump, he is a heck of a ball player.
strong lean to memphis. i still cannot figure out how they beat the aggies. but i also have to believe the buckeyes have used up their 9th life.
