NCAA Sweet Sixteen Picks - Friday

NCAA Sweet Sixteen Picks - Friday

1. Ohio State (-5.5) vs Kentucky. What a fantastic match up, this should have been the Elite 8 game in the East bracket. Kentucky has great talent but they are all young and inexperienced. The Wildcats are a jump shooting team that plays well against smaller teams. Ohio State is the best team in college basketball and have all the intangibles to win the tourney. They have size, strength and shooting. They almost played too well last game vs George Mason. They should still send the Wildcats home with ease. There is no stopping the Buckeyes. Go Ohio State!!
2. Florida State (-3.5) vs VCU. You gotta love the way that VCU has played so far. I just wonder how much they have left in the tank. Florida State has got skills and play phenomenal zone defense. The difference will come in the paint, where the Seminoles should reign. Take Florida State!!
3. Kansas (-11) vs Richmond. This spread seems to be too high. I hate large spreads in big games. Kansas will have to play great in order to cover the spread. The Jayhawks are similar to Duke, in that they aren't that athletic or dominating. Gonna pull for Richmond. Go Spiders!!
4. UNC (-4.5) vs Marquette. Not a fan of either one of these teams. Both are quick and will run the court. The Over/Under is 150. I would almost rather take the Over than the game. If I had to choose a winner it would be UNC, but I will probably pass.

** I will be in Las Vegas for the weekend, so be back here on Monday.
