Louisville -4.5 over Maryland ****
Both teams have superstars..The Terps have Thomas and Cards have Shoni...Cards coach was asst under Terps coach..Terps have a bigger team but Cards are more physical...Cards have a few more shooters ...should be a close game because of Thomas shooting,driving and rebounding...but Cards pass so well,shoot the 3 and have more depth...plus even though its not really fair they are playing at home..the NCAA made them take off the mid-court Cardinal logo so its a neutral court..but the 11,000 screaming fans and the team know its a home game.Cards only lost once this year.Think they go back to the final 4 ...
Stanford -11.5 over North Carolina **
These Cards were upset last year in this 3rd round....not going to happen again..Stanford has one of the best players in the nation in Ogwumike..does everything...they have a shut down defender to gd NC's star Diamond who has a bad ankle..NC is young even though they knocked off No 1 seed SC..again its a home game for the Cards...think they get out in front early in the 2nd half and put it away at the end...if Diamond is not 100% the Heels are in big trouble..last yr Stanford thought they were going to the final 4..this year they are focused to get back..
