March Madness...

Time for the second wave of games.

Davidson (13) vs. Louisville (4)

This is a battle of contrasting styles. Louisville wants to pressure you, turn you over and increase the number of possessions. Davidson wants to limit possessions, grind it out in the half court, spread the floor and shoot the 3. Louisville got hot and won the Big East tournament and comes in heavily favored but the line was dropping heavily this morning with all the big money coming in on Louisville which usually means UPSET ALERT! I think that Louisville pulls it out, not wanting to re-live last years horrific loss to Morehead St. but this one should come down to the wire.

Montana (13) vs. Wisconsin (4)

This will be a 'pull your teeth out' type of a game. Limited number of possessions, walk it up, late shot clock situations and physical. I'm not too familiar with Montana but I have seen Wisconsin play this season. They have been inconsistent and they struggle to score at times but they are experienced, are well coached with Bo Ryan and they have All Big 10 performer Jordan Taylor at the point and I think that serves them well to get by the Grizzlies and potentially make a deep run into the tournament. This game could be close and I look for Montana to keep it within single digits but Wisconsin gets the win and advances to the round of 32.


D-J-O! D-J-O!

BYU (14) vs. Marquette (3)

I have nothing much to say here except this one should be a complete blowout. BYU was down by 25 to Iona before a miraculous comeback where they held Iona to 15 points in the last 25 minutes of the game. Mark my word, this will not happen again. The Golden Eagles can score with the best of em and I look for this one to be the first true blowout of the day. Marquette in a complete rout!
