Going to start with leans and will finalize plays tomorrow...
Wisky vs. Syracuse - This is the round Syracuse always loses, but this isn't exactly Wisky's ideal round either. First glance, tough game to call, but leaning Badgers at the moment. Just feel the Badgers are built to face a zone defense fairly well since they shoot so many treys plus they're so well coached. Still tough to buck a Syracuse team which is so deep and will also be ready. However, initial lean is grab the points. Big 10 also hasn't been too bad this post season. One other thing is Wisky plays a sticky man-to-man defense which gives up the fewest amount of points in college hoops and I think Syracuse will really struggle scoring. I see grabbing the points being very smart.
Cincy vs. Ohio State - I know Jord loves this to be a slaughter, but I'm not so sure. Cincy is a very streaky team and Ohio State winning by 9+ could be difficult. Need to study this matchup far more before making a play. Yancy Gates can matchup with Sullinger and the rest depends on Cincy's trey balls falling which at times can be lethal (don't really like asking Ohio State to ask by 9) Teams have only played one time in the past 50 years despite being in-state.
Florida vs. Marquette - Gators sure looked good last weekend, but initial lean is to Marquette even with the distractions for Marquette. Game being played in Phoenix so guessing more Marquette fans.
Michigan State vs. Louisville - Initial lean Cardinals as they're great traditionally in Sweet 16 and believe the overachieving Spartans will have a tough time winning by 6+...
Interesting we have 4 Big East schools and 3 Big 10 schools going tomorrow night. Realize they were the top 2 conferences this year with either Big 12 or ACC being 3rd & 4th (I think Big 12 might have been 3rd). Will have plays tomorrow as these are initial plays without much research.
