UCLA -3 over Pitt ****
UCLA is quicker, more athletic and has two great gds in Collison and Affalo.UCLA has beaten a lot more top teams then Pitt.Howland has taken his eastern style of hoops,and made it a left coast game.Bruins win this by 10... Former Asst vs the head coach ...whats the record there? Howland is the answer.UCLA has Mata who can play opposite of Gray..Moute is tough..think Pitt is in trouble..
Kansas -9 over SIU ***** strong play
SIU has a weak offense that is 283rd avg 61 pts a game. But there defense is rated as one of the best.Problem is KU has a big frontline at 6'8,6'9 and 6'11... SIU is a weak rebounding team .KU's top 2 scorers are gds in Chalmers and Rush and although they avg 14 and 12 pts a game they have avg a lot more in the tourney. So much has been talked about the SIU defense...KU is ranked No 2 in FG% def. Ku is a solid defensive team.Plus SIU fd Shaw might not play tonite.That leaves them with with very little inside defense.Close until about 6-8 minites left..then KU goes on a run..
Tenn +5 over Ohio St **
Bucks beat them by 2 ages ago.Uptempo Vols game with good perimeter shooters,Lofton and co...OSU few weakness's are perimeter defense.Tenn weakness is inside defense. Odens 2 hands are ok now.Both teams have freshman pt gds..Tenn did beat Florida and memphis...Lofton and Smith who is avg 20 pts at the dance could cause problems. Like the Vols to give Ohio St headaches and keep it close.
Texas AM -3 over Memphis *
really liked memphis but Doug-Roberts status has me leaning towards the better defensive team AM
