12-7
Early Saturday picks:
Uconn Pk (Lose
Gonzaga-4 Lose
Villanova-12 Win
Princeton -6 Win
Uconn: Just going with the talent. I know this is Uconn's first real road game..but I don't care. They have more talent. I'll take my chances.
Gonzaga: I love Nevada. Fasikas is a tough matchup..but Gonzaga has the bigs that match up with him very well and playing in Washington will probably get him in foul trouble early. I'd also like to play the FH here..but the line is not up yet. Gonzaga should be up 5 or 6 going into the half. Gonzaga wins this going away.
Villanova..better athletes..at home. I think this is also a FH play...think Villanova will jump on them early. May buy out in the second half and look for a middle because Temple coach is a much better xo guy than Jay Wright. Wright also will sit on the ball up 12 or 13 with a few to go. I'll probably go for the second half middle and take the guarantee...(although I know it would count against my record...:shrug:
Princeton: Iona stinks. Bad coach, worse players. Princeton is hit and miss...scoring will be very low. Very few possessions for Iona and they will struggle to put the ball in the hole. If Princeton can hit a couple of 3's early..they should control tempo. Iona is so poorly coached and playing against this kind of system is tough enough. I think Princeton wins by 9 or so.
Good luck to all.
